"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour."

"The quest for the grail is not archeology, it's a race against evil. If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth"

Other than shock and surprise as her passing awa I was also shocked at how old she was. It's strange when the person isn't a media hound and always popping up on the red carpets, on chat shows and game shows etc you only really know them from their work. Whenever I think of Liz in my mind she looked like she did when she appeared in "The Five Doctors." Realistically I know that was almost 20 years ago and she would be a lot older, but that was the last image I have of her.

I met Nicola Bryant many many years ago when Michael Grade axed the show. I'll be at an event to see and will see her again for the firs time since her time on Doctor Who. i think I'm going to get a surprise how much older she looks and as a consquence I'm likely to feel really old myself as we are quite close in age.
I have met:

Colin Baker, Sarah Sutton, Nicola Bryant, Sophie Aldred, Sylvester McCoy, Nicholas Courtney
Brian Croucher, Gareth Thomas
Michael Sheard, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Sally James,  Linda Lusardi, Captain Sensible, Doc Cox, Janet Ellis,  Lennie Bennet, Jim Davidson, Russell Hunter, Angus Lennie, Philip Madoc
Leslie Grantham, Anita Dobson,
Rene Auberjonois, Holly Marie Combs
David Taylor, Henry Cooper, Kathy Taylor, Lennie Lawrence
Mickie James, Nick Dinsmore (WWE- Eugene), Drew Garroway (WWE -  Drew McIntyre) Britani Knight (WWE -  Paige) Rowdy Ricky Knight, Mark Haskins
