Louise Jameson, in Interview


Twas sunny and a blue sky day. Instead of moving straight at the roundabout and the road to West Kirby seafront, we took the left and the road to Heswall and, a road with shops that seemed set in the Victorian age, with wrought iron and glass awnings, many of which sold 'antique' knickknacks and fish 'n chip shops and a sewing shop and others of such ilk.

At the end of the row of shops, a series of dwellings follows, on the right flats of a newness that does not belong, whilst those on the left are of the same age as the shops and, of a different time, an earlier time.

A road was crossed as I'd walked on the right side of the road and then found my destination, a one story pub, quite big yet, not quite big enough for a doctor who convention, at any time, any place and took about two hundred and fifty people, who drank good beer, as they listened to Louise Jameson speak, crossed legged and, with the distinctive dimple that fanboys recalled from her days on seventies teevee.

Louise Jameson had played the part of Leela, a chamois leather bikini-clad warrior woman of the seventies; who had aided the Fourth Doctor in many of his adventures and been the wet-dream of many a fourteen year-old boy of the time.

She had spoken with her interviewer awhile, speaking of her time on the show Doctor Who and more recently the teevee show Eastenders, as well as her love for her friend, the recently lost Mary Tamm, another former companion of the Fourth Doctor.

After the interview had ended, she had looked at her audience, as the interviewer asked of us, “Do any of you have any questions?” No-one had had answered.

So, I'd spoken up with my question, “What was it like to be a sex symbol in the Seventies?”

Louise Jameson had looked at me, a child of the seventies and responded, “I don't know, why don't you tell me?”

Her question had left me floored and caused ribald laughter for a moment or so, before other questions had begun to follow.

I always liked watching Dr.Who and still watch it time to time.
