    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
