Myth Makers 24: Jackie Lane (1992)

Dorothea (Dodo) Chaplet had a far greater impact than her brief time as The Doctor’s assistant would suggest. She was brash, outspoken with disobedient traits that the first Doctor, William Hartnell, was to curb but never tame. Perhaps her looks were not the only thing that reminded him of his granddaughter… In a virtual TARDIS, Jackie recounts to Nicholas Briggs her memories of those pioneering days of television working on Doctor Who and her career after leaving the acting profession to found Advoice, an agency for voiceover artists.
