Beautiful Bessie.


 This bright violet friend of the Doctor is so much missed. True, she will forever be inextricably linked with the Pertwee era but it certainly eased the transition from Mr Pertwee to Mr Baker at the sight of The Doctor and Sarah Jane holding onto their hats as they raced to confront Professor Kettlewell's giant Robot. The badge ad is from the back of an old Lion and Thunder. Oh how easily pleased we were in those days to see our hero in any other format. Back then my brain almost exploded at the sight of a set of Doctor Who jigsaws in a local shop. Alas my poor ma and da could not afford to buy me any...oh the trauma...He even cruelly suggested home made jigsaws which would basically involve him cutting up magazine pictures for me to reassemble...

            Bessie was such a Whoish optic and I miss her so. Can see The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) taking Missy for a drive and a picnic, to best aid her change her mischievous ways.
            Toot!Toot!
