Deborah Watling | January 2, 1948 - July 21, 2017
My heart breaks to learn that Deborah Watling passed this summer.
Deborah was a firecracker, a sassy lady (one of the few people I’ve seen put Frazier Hines in his place!), and truly one of the kindest people I’ve met through Doctor Who.
“Let’s take a picture!” - I will always remember her as in this photo of us from Chicago TARDIS 2014, taken Saturday night after talking over wine (always a dry house white for Deborah).
I take solace knowing she’s in heaven with her daddy and with Patrick Troughton, but it’s still a sad shock to know she’s gone.
You can’t understand, being so ancient.
Eh?
I mean old!R.I.P. Deborah Watling, 2nd Jan 1948 - 21st July 2017
A month and a half late, but I did not know until I saw this post that Deborah Watling had passed.
My heart breaks for Deborah’s family and for her co-star and close friend, Frazier Hines.
“Oh, Victoria don’t hit me!”
From Salamander to Doctor in 0.000001 seconds.
gotta love how victoria, normally example number one of the “shrieking damsel” trope, was fully prepared to jump on a grown man she believed to be a murderous dictator and elbow-slam him in the neck
