Newly-Released Kate O’Mara Interview

Philip Bates is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Here’s a lovely treat: the late, great Kate O’Mara spoke about her time in Doctor Who in a video recently released by the BBC.

O’Mara of course played the Rani in two serials, Mark of the Rani, and Time and the Rani, the latter of which never garnered much praise but Kate was nonetheless excellent opposite the new Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy. In that story, she’s probably most famous for two things: i) dressing up like Bonnie Langford; and ii) that line, “leave the girl – it’s the man I want.”

In the above video she’s asked where and when in time and space she’d go in the TARDIS, how Doctor Who has lasted so long, and if she’s a fan of anything else. The most affecting part, however, is that she would’ve liked to have returned as the Time Lady. This interview was conducted at the Doctor Who Celebration, an event revolving around the 50th Anniversary of the show, shortly before her passing in March 2014.
