Mary Tamm passed away, aged 62. Mary played Romana, companion to Tom Baker's Dr Who. This was the time I was first watching the show and I loved both Tom and Mary.
Mary passed away, after fighting a long battle with cancer, in hospital in London.
Romana was a different kind of companion to the Doctor as she herself was a TimeLaday, from the Doctor's planet of Gallifrey and they were joined by K-9.
