This was not just a simple interview, it's an interesting discussion. Lucky you, Mike, and congrats for being able to get her truthful reactions.
This is easily the best interview with Janet I have watched. It has the bespoke touch, taking a genuine interest in her. It would have made a supreme Blu-ray bonus feature.
Thanks so much, John.
Just found this video. I loved her is the 80s, hearing an Aussie in the Tardis was amazing for a little Aussie kid. Such a nice video, thanks Retroblasting
Glad you enjoyed it
She's a diamond and great to interview, your a fantastic interviewer.
It's great to see another Doctor Who fan who enjoys the Big Finish audios. I've been following them since the first release back in 1999, and they make a great companion to the TV series. Great interview with Janet! I was really glad when she finally decided to join Big Finish and complete the 5th Doctor team.
Yes!! Classic Who!! You're a very good interviewer, very professional and relevant on each question and commentary,
Thanks so much, Daniel. I do my best to prepare with relevant questions and stay focused on the interviewee's contributions and experience rather than take big detours.
"If I stop enjoying it, I'll stop doing it"
She IS Tegan. That's exactly why the character left.
Oh my gosh, that's amazing. Thank you for doing this.
Ms. Fielding appears to be an interviewer's dream. What a delight!
Thank you for a great interview and, as ever, your wonderful editing.
Ahhh, brings me back to the day when Doctor Who was Doctor Who. Great interview !!!
Janet seems a lot like Tegan. lol
TEGAN!!!!! Wow, I've met loads of actors but I don't think she's going to a comic con anytime soon

She is there along with Mark Strickson, Carole Ann Ford, Bernard Cribbins, Peter Purves, Katy Manning, Anneke Wills, and Bonnie Langford as well as alot of the crew.
She's crazy in the best possible way. It makes for not the easiest subject of interview, but you smashed it Michael, and looked like you both had a blast too. Nice work!!
Thanks!
WoW!! Fantastic video/interview Michael. They say that you should never meet your heroes or heroines but in this case she sure didn't disappoint. It's so refreshing to get an actor that speaks so honestly and isn't afraid to tell it how it is. Very funny and intriguing look into the background of one of my favourite shows. Thanks for the upload my friend. Also I know how much this would have meant to you personally having met her, let alone to sit down and have a one to one conversation. Proud of you Michael, well done mate.
Thanks Matt. It was a true first for me. - Michael
Wow - to hear that voice again after so long. Love Janet Fielding; thanks Mike.
Great interview. It was tough for me to get into the 5th Doctor's time in the TARDIS as a kid since Tom Baker was my first Doctor, but it was nice having Tegan there as the companion who went through the regeneration with us to help with the transition.
Awesome! One of my favorite companions from the classic Doctor Who era. Even though I really like the current run of Doctor Who, IMHO the classic era had the best companions: Tegan being one of them! :)
She is still so adorable! Love this! ❤️
man I have been watching Classic DR Who and Tegan has become one of my favourites, and seeing her in the present blows my mind
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Love janet, wish the interview had been longer but still fantastic 😊
They limit the amount of time you have
Did love the has anyone ever shouted you made it back to Heathrow 😂
This was fantastic! Not a big doctor fan but Michael killed this and she was so funny. I loved the humor, almost felt like Eric Andre show meets retro blasting except it’s no scripted lol. Great episode
Fantastic interview!!!!🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a lovely lady! Great interview!
Well done Michael!!!
that was FUN . one of my teenage Crushes Tegan Jovanka . but lets not forget Sarah Jane, ACE, Lalla Ward,Nicola Bryant,Karen Gillan,enna-Louise Coleman :)
Like that Retroblasting Tardis /4th Doctor logo there as well as the interview.👍.
Very cool, Tegan, Turlough and 5 are my all time favorite Tardis Team.
I wish I could give this 8500000000 thumbs up!
Nice interview.👍 Look at you hob nobbing with celebrities. 🤗
The way she's changed her hair and her with her age I wouldn't be able to recognize her on the street before I saw this. I own the DVDs of the entire 4th doctors set. Are these Blu-rays worth getting?
I think they are, but then again I don't have a huge DVD collection of them to replace so there's that advantage.
They are if you like new speciel features like I do and certain stories with new speciel effects 😊
Michael, you’re a very good interviewer. And she was giving you a tough time, too. Messing with you continually.
Thanks. It was touch and go there a few times and I was focused entirely on not getting rattled.
RetroBlasting She seemed intent on rattling you. I like when you reminded her of your credentials.
Very Nice!
Queen Janet.

So great to see Janet Fielding! The Peter Davison era of Dr. Who was my favorite.
Maybe not Adric but he died so it's all good. The character only, much love for Matthew Waterhouse the actor.
"The Peter Davison era of Dr. who was my favorite."
LMFAO
@@MichaelM28 Srry but he was my favorite Dr. Who. A doctor who could play cricket. :)
had a massive crush on Teagan as a kid
Oh god, You gotta Love her.
I met her,she,s so sweet.
Now thats what i am talking about i love your videos do you ever collect the toys?
I think Janet would be the Doctor Who actor I'd be most nervous of meeting. I've heard she doesn't like large men and dislikes beards.
So just get a shave.
Maybe slap on some Aqua Velva.
Thanks for the quick response. It's hard to tell what is a joke and what is not without facial expressions.
Do you know if it's true that JF doesn't like large men or beards??
@Scott Stalcup
I can understand that seeing that JNT was a bit of a jerk, but despite the horrid costumes, I was always attracted to JF's portrayal of Tegan as she seemed to be the everyday earthling thrust into an extraordinary situation, trying to make sense of it all. I too hate inequality in all forms and try to treat people on the same level as I am. If I ever get lucky enough to meet her, I hope I don't make her uneasy as I am a large man and have a beard (LOL).
Thanks for your help with this.
Kindest Regards,
Robert Espinosa Lee
I see why they say never meet your heroes. She was bitter, and jaded. Men should die at 30 so women can have all the good acting roles? Women have taken over the star wars and marvel universes. Has anyone informed her of that?
You did a great job, Michael. Keep up the good work.
It's just how she is. Don't take it too seriously.
I really didn’t think she wanted Logan’s Run style genocide, but she certainly lacked class in saying that. Let a white male say that, then see what happens.
@@Vincent-396 It was sarcastic Oz humour. Banter. Clearly she felt comfortable with michael as I can imagine her talking to friends like that.
She's joking for goodness sake. She actually has a sardonic sense of humour.
Though not my favourite companion I'm more a fan of Leela Romana and Liz Shaw I do like the audio commentaries on the 5th doctor DVDs especially funny Kinda, Terminus and Snakedance.
16:20 Michael: "The correct answer is Kylie".
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
She said the 5th doctors mean she should have met the 6th doctor and then say that lol
The good old days of the jhon nathan turner and Peter davison era. The state of the show now with chibnall proves that it should just go away like classic who.
LMFAO. The John Nathan Turner era was to the classic series what the Chibnall era is to the modern series
Never wash that hand.
What I find amusing is that DW was never a hit in the US until recently....I do not even know if the BBC tried to sell DW abroad during the 70s or 80s...
They did. Was on PBS in the 80s
Scott Stalcup prettt sure her tits were enough to get people watching
I always said she has a pair of the best legs EVER!
and he never washed that hand again
She had such great legs...wow
She's still awfully cute. :)
Michael should beware of interviewing Australians they are straight talking and love colourful language
Janet has a point. This is why to this day, 5 is my least favourite doctor.
Davison was a good actor, but was sadly stuck with playing a version of the Doctor who was clueless, unfit for purpose, and essentially an avatar for the incompetent JNT/Saward production team.
Horrid interview, with the worst companion ever. Her attitude in the role was obviously not acting and is still in high gear. Such a shame her role ran so long in Doctor Who and she gave you nothing to work with. Reminds me why I hated Tegan during the first run and I avoid anything with Janet from Big Finish. (And I came into this video with a totally open mind!)
It's lovely, not awesome. It sounds so british, so educated
I don't know what you're talking about.
@@retroblasting 😠👍
Oh, Janet.....stop talking bollocks...the reason you refused to play Tegan anymore in the 90s and suddenly did a U-turn when it came back on television is because it regained its former high prestige and you were getting paid!
Not her fault it lost its former high prestige. Blame JNT for that.
@@sadako24 Funny she stayed for 4 years in its prestige less state... JNT was well dead when she was spouting her Germaine Greer-esque bullshit so no, I'll blame her.
Disliked Tegan as a companion. Nothing but whining about going home.
