Very sad news indeed.
Apart from Doctor Who (one of my all time favourite TV series), Deborah, also appeared in Danger UXB, one of my favourite Wartime TV series.
A great shame, that many of Deborah's Doctor Who episodes, are missing.
I can remember meeting Deborah, in a Store, in Norwich.

Yes, very sad.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Debbie in 2014 (it's on video somewhere) and although it wasn't my best effort, it was good to be talking to someone who was there during the true 'Golden Age' of Doctor Who. I've got a copy of her autobiography which she signed to me. I made the mistake of saying that she played 'Sandra' in 'The Invisible Man' TV series, when of course she played 'Sally'. I confused this and her role in 'That'll Be The Day'. She wasn't too impressed. But, hey, 'Sandra', 'Sally' - easy mistake to make! We also chatted about Cliff Richard (in the lift) and she was adamant that all the accusations against him were nonsense. Anyway, I shall probably watch a bit of Tomb of the Cybermen later... sadly one of her few stories that exists in complete form.

Just bought the 4 disc DVD set of DANGER UXB. I was going to sooner or later and now seems the right time...

Quite a contrast between her character in that and in Doctor Who. It does demonstrate her acting ability. She was pretty good in HG Wells' Invisible Man. As a little kid acting she was more natural and didn't suffer from a case of the cutes as too many child actors did/do. |

Hadn't heard about this. When you see her in late 60s 'Doctor Who' she seems so youthful. Hard to believe she is with us no more.

Currently watching Arthur of the Britons again and she was a guest star in the episode "Slaves" which I watched yesterday. She played a sympathetic Saxon who aided Kai.

She appeared in the unbeatable series 'Web of Evil' with Patrick Troughton and her father.

Thought the funniest line in 'The Invisible Man' was when she said " I'll just go upstairs and fetch your invisible clothes." !!! (TWO HOURS LATER... "Haven't you found them yet?!!!") No; she didn't find that funny either. |

In what MUST have been a blonde wig! Yeah, I thought it looked like a blonde wig too. I guess she dyed her own hair blonde for Danger UXB. |

She also appeared with her father in the Doctor Who story, The Abominable Snowmen. The Web of Fear is a sequel to that story. I agree that Web of Fear is a great story. It's too bad her time on Doctor Who suffers so heavily from lack of episodes. Only two of the stories she appeared n are complete in their original form.

They also appeared together a 3rd, playing a the same characters in DOWNTIME, a doctor who spinoff in 1995, a direct to video low budget offering, that featured the yeti as well as the brigadier and sarah Jane Smith. The only thing missing was the doctor, who could not even be mentioned, due to copyright |
