My all-time favourite companion with my all-time favourite Doctor. Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning were magic together. You could see just how much they made one another smile. Fabulous rapport between the two of them which transmitted itself through the rest of the UNIT ensemble. The closing scenes of 'The Green Death' are often overlooked amongst the classic Doctor's pivotal moments. My heart breaks everytime I watch the Doctor drive Bessie across that sunset shot!

I’m rewatching her run with Dr. Who right now on Tubi and she’s so right in how well the writers and her grew the character. It’s nice to see some realism that someone would become more confident and capable with experience. Also the way they grew the way the Doctor felt about her as they spent more time together. They were so great together.

The Third Doctor will always be my favourite-I loved that whole 'Earth bound ' aspect that was brought in. I've always felt that Ms Manning as Jo Grant was under-rated as a companion from that era, and in general. I've heard her character referred to as ' dim ' or ' hapless' in commentaries, but she had a kind of innocent charm and warmth , and as a kid I was totally smitten by her-I was genuinely moved by her bittersweet departure, and was so jealous of the hippy guy who stole her away !

bilwit She's absolutely adorable in her last season. Though the thing I love about Doctor Who is that because it's a kids show, you can always feel the love between the characters and yet never once is there any mention of romantic tension between the main characters or sexual innuendos to make things awkward. It's like the love Frodo and Sam have in Lord of the Rings. Familial. Which makes sense, the Doctor has always been a sort of father figure. I like that about the show. I hate how the only kind of "love" you seem to see in entertainment today is about sex.

Katy's Jo Grant was the perfect Companion for that particular time. The dynamic between the Pertwee Doctor and Jo Grant was terrific. Importantly, Jo Grant was the first Companion to encounter The Master. I imagine that Jon, Roger and Katy had a fantastic time working together because it really showed in their performances together. Great Days! We will soon have a 60th Anniversary celebration of the program. Surely, Katy must be involved in some way. The 50th was a wasted opportunity. The 60th can remedy that by including more of the Classic Serial characters.

Sad but true. I, personally, think the Doctor can be played by a woman. However, not just any woman. They have to be as capable of portraying a version of the character as the male actors were that preceded her were. Sadly, Jodie Whittaker clearly isn't and the writers, for their part, are equally incapable of giving her the narrative tools to create one.

I agree that the role has always been written for a man, but we are talking about a character that can utterly change physical appearance AND personality, and has the weight of the universe on (currently) his shoulders. The writing would indeed have to change, but really the Doctor is an all-purpose vessel, able to dynamically adjust to *anything*. Additionally, in every incarnation, the essential quality of the Doctor remains the same - but the style of writing changes for the lead at the time: the same can happen for a female lead, to my mind there is no difference (assuming good writers, of course). I have enormous respect for Katy Manning as a huge fan of her and Pertwee's era, but I think she is simply not thinking big enough - which is a shame. The Doctor can be *anything* he or she wants to be - that's why I'm a fan of the character, and there is no reason on Earth or beyond that that couldn't - or shouldn't - extend beyond gender.
@rassilontdavros30048 жыл бұрын
Granted (pun totally unintentional), I read it more as her saying that there shouldn't be a female Doctor just for the sake of having a female Doctor, and that it should be about the actor. I could be reading it totally wrong. I'm on the fence about the issue, myself. It certainly shouldn't be done just to be done. While I have no issues with it myself, and I don't think it's a fundamental change to the character, I worry that others would perceive it as such. The biggest pitfall is if the writers treat it as a fundamental change- throughout all 52 years, the Doctor has always been the Doctor, and tampering with THAT would be a big mistake.
@madeleine55614 жыл бұрын
Katy says quite a few insightful things here. In particular saying that the Doctor shouldn't be a woman for the sake of it being a woman. I wish the BBC had realized that (or at the very least cast an actress who can portray more than two emotions and cares about the show.) Another good thing she says here is that doctor who was a show families wanted to sit down and watch together. Now almost nobody wants to watch. Man I miss when the show was good.
