I absolutely loathed the one in the Creature From The Pit which was no fault of our wonderful designer. We actually shot that first - we didn't do Destiny Of The Daleks first which was my first story, we sort of jumped in the middle for some reason - and because I hadn't worked out what I wanted to do it was a Mary Tamm [style] costume.

Mary looked gorgeous in that sort of thing and I looked like hell on wheels, and I felt completely miserable, I just didn't know what I was doing. Fortunately everybody was worrying far more about that blob who played the monster so I don't think anybody was looking at me.

I got over it but then after that I started thinking about what I wanted to do and what the character really was and got it right. It was just totally not me.
