Essentially looks to be her own Myth Makers kinda thing, only not as good probably because that lovely Robert Dick isn't on it Lalla is emigrating to Hong Kong (hence why they've banked some stuff from the S17 set with her for the blurays!) and is releasing this herself, an hour long chat about her life and career. Anyway, some of the proceeds are going to the home for retired actors so it's in a good cause. Can be bought here: mail5535.wixsite.com/mysiteI must admit, I didn't even realise she'd split up from Richard Dawkins a couple of years ago after decades together but when I saw this, I googled as I couldn't picture Prof. Dawkins moving to HK. So, that's sad but a fresh start for Lalla, a DVD that Romana 2 fans might fancy, a few quid for charity....thought it worth mentioning.

I too had no idea about their split. Wishing her all the best, especially given the political climate in Hong Kong at the moment.

The Fourth Doctor and Romana II are my all time favourite partnership, so I hope that Big Finish have plenty of Lalla Ward in their catalogue of banked audios with Uncle Tom.

Seems she does not need the royalties and has guaged that she can raise more from an independent release than what she may be entitled to via an official interview ala Tom in conversation with Mathew Sweet on the BBC Blu-Ray sets, as a means of donating to something of worth to her interests. No doubt she will not stick to the usual blandishments of "everyone got on famously and it was a fantastic time" anecdotage. I should hope though that things are still complementary given how some commentators can sap ones sense of nostalgia, thinking of some audio commentaries by a few noted cliques. As an aside, its rather fascinating that Richard Dawkins is credited as the originator of the Meme - not that he approves of course. The selfish 'meme'?
