Wendy Padbury and Nicola Bryant both look atleast ten years younger than they are. Both gorgeous back in the day, still gorgeous now.

[@DonnaLang42rockglobally]

I could listen to Padders and Nicola all day. I hope to have the good fortune to see them at a convention in the future.

[@johnclay7644]

good to hear Nicola Bryant,

[@passionateerrors]

Nicola Bryant needa return as Peri in some way!

[@curtisrobinson7962]

Please no, just plain no.

[@Arizonaguy1856]

her on audios is AMAZING

[@locustboy8448]

Yes please

[@user-un9go4qe5i]

Wendy Padbury and Nicola Bryant... two of the best. They don't make 'em like that anymore! Both feature in two of our favourite Doctor Who moments/shots. Admit it. Those were the days...

[@mahfuzurchowdhury2765]

I know Nicola's shot well, but what about Padbury?

[@user-un9go4qe5i]

@@mahfuzurchowdhury2765 Clinging to the TARDIS console as it revolves near the start of The Mind Robber. Oh yes!

[@alexfletcher5192]

Padders on daytime is almost redemption for a generation of fans. And Nicola - the pin-up of my early teens. Makes me wonder where this childhood obsession can go next.

[@JonTheComputerDoctor]

Should have had more time given for this interview.

[@liamevans9353]

I love Doctor who

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Many thanks to Alison, Dermot, Wendy and Nicola! 🤩

[@gregshanley7742]

I’ve met Wendy ,she is a lovely lady .

[@BrianDarrah]

That Cyberman looks Canadian

[@rjmcallister1888]

Unfortunately, much of Wendy's time as Zoe with Patrick Troughton wasn't seen here in the US (the B&W shows didn't air on PBS), but she's quite lovely and engaging. Nicola Bryant, as Peri, was something else in the 80's, and is still just amazing now; she has matured so well. Having fun seeing them again.

[@mikescrazycomedy7362]

Perry still looks good

[@JoshuaWilliams-dq2ct]

The thing that stands out for me is that they may not have been able to find one of the actual props of the TARDIS so decided to make their own, which is fine but it sort of looks like the person who made it isn't quite sure what it actually looks like

[@mikekaraoke]

In 1983 she said there wasn't selfies then so shook their hand! I have met many famous people since a small and had pics taken with them at the start as my dad took on his film cameras and then later on in the 80's a digital camera in 1988! And a few of them like for example: Michael Ball turned the camera around to us both in the pic and said say cheese after his performance in Les Miserables lol

[@bletheringfool]

Sometimes people got polaroids taken and then have the polaroid signed

[@mikekaraoke]

@@bletheringfool Exactly, that as well! So was rather confused when she said that-where you from??

[@bletheringfool]

@@mikekaraoke I'm from the UK

[@mikekaraoke]

[@sueleitch6396]

I think this show is so much more interesting now. I really look forward to watching now ❤ it's fun and fabulous 👌

[@mikebasil4832]

It's certainly interesting how Doctor Who can still endure today after all it's been through in six decades. Somehow it especially resonates with fans who know how to appreciate everything it has to say.

[@kennethraymondmoore]

The classic series is a work of art that the modern series doesn't even come close to matching.

[@curtisrobinson7962]

​@@kennethraymondmoore Comparing the OG to the reboot is like comparing oranges to oranges, they're both good.

[@jamiesworld1690]

Love doctor who getting coverage on itv daytime

[@dinshawpocha4882]

Wow l remember watching Doctor Who with Patrick Troughton and used to love him in that role. This is the first time in 60 years that I've seen Wendy Padbury who was Zoe gosh how the memories come flying back. This interview wasn't very good could've spent more time talking about the creatures and about their time on the show.

[@surfacevision]

Why did they not bring up the subject of 'missing episodes'? It is never mentioned on mainstream TV, I am sure many people are still unaware that 97 episodes of Dr. Who are missing, 5 of them featuring the gorgeous Wendy Padbury.

[@mikescrazycomedy7362]

I loved her American accent

[@curtisrobinson7962]

Oh, no. Her accent was/is what I couldn't/can't stand listening to, it was whiney and obnoxious. TG she wasn't on Star Trek I would have accidentally discharged my phaser in her direction. Oops. Just the way she said, dawkter, oh too much. But to each their own. Cheers and have a nice day.

[@Arizonaguy1856]

@@curtisrobinson7962 she sounds whiney and nasally but i wouldnt say thats her accent, you just didnt like her voice in general.......

[@gearupgifts]

This interview needed another 10-15 minutes. Too short!!

[@frangrock]

'Who are you cupping?'

[@liamratcliffe1947]

This morning is filmed in TC3 doctor who was originally filmed in TC8

[@bletheringfool]

not during Wendy's time, the show was originally filmed in Lime Grove and Riverside studios. I believe it was during Jon Pertwee's era they moved to TVC.

[@lchrjr]

Anyone catch at 2:09 how she says "they've come back after all this years?"... are we getting surprise cameos?

[@jaybuckby7192]

that vile tardis lol

[@fanyt1894]

I can tell the title of this video was generated by chatgpt lol

[@lewismoorcroft99]

And the thumbnail looks like it’s had some ai work. The cyberman head 😬

[@Jasonm25870]

All the episode clips seem to be blurred out somehow. Sort it out ITV, always second rate.

[@natasha-lyonne-enthusiast8098]

It’s only blurred out on KZbin, due to copyright or something probably

[@frangrock]

It's not on at 6 o' clock... 🙄

[@geoffjoffy]

There was loads of sci fi on in the 1960s. The Invaders, Star Trek, Outer Limits, Twilight Zone. Loads more. Those interviewers haven't a clue what they're talking about.

[@shaggydog9789]

What are "sidesicks"?

[@brandoncattermole9403]

Doctor Who is the best

[@goonz6249]

Not usually one to be a keyboard warrior but I have to say I think this was a pretty poor interview...

[@topmandog1]

this morning is poor in general

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

They do that there They have no clue about stuff, it's often so embarrassing 😬

[@MrMittens1974]

Nicola is still a dish.

[@MarkWardReacts]

First time I've ever heard Alison sound like she hasn't got a clue what she's talking about in an interview... Clearly hadn't done her research at all...!

[@connorswaine1448]

Sidekicks?

[@rorylamberton3127]

This interview is an embarrassment. Both Alison and Dermot just don’t have a clue what they are even asking. Alright Doctor Who is 60 but these actors weren’t at the beginning.

[@nickoffury]

They never said they were actors at the beginning. But it’s the 60th anniversary celebrations right now, why wouldn’t they bring it up? Not everyone is a balding, angry nerd who knows every single tiny detail about the show. Calm down

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

​@@nickoffuryWendy played Zoe with Patrick Troughton's doctor and Nicola played Peri Brown with Peter Davison and Colin Baker as Dermot said

[@MichaelThomas-cy2kr]

Wendy Padbury was close enough to the beginning. 1968s The Wheel in Space

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@@MichaelThomas-cy2kr i knew it was a Patrick Troughton story.

[@GoblinSing]

I don't know that I can see the same problem as you. They're asking them about present day, in lye of an anniversary, and reflecting on the past. That includes both the past and present and it seems both guests are able to tell quite a bit about their past or current thoughts and feelings. So what is the issue? Should they have been acting as if Patrick Troughton were still the Doctor? Pretend as if nary a year has passed?

[@d.a.b8756]

Star Trek was worldwide 🤦 interview was embarrassing

[@Dragonfly-0010]

Star Trek was 1966, Dr Who of course 1963
