Clod - Dawn French was the other part of French and Saunders. As in the fat girl. Jennifer Saunders was Edina, whereas Dawn ended up as The Vicar of Dibley (which many people I like found funny; just not me)

Beryl Reid was also suggested as the Doctor - at the time I was fully supportive. But she could never have moved the Doctor on. I loved her because I loved Mooncat (children's TV show I can't properly trace, booo!)

RTD brought the series back in the best possible way. He was a long-term Whovian. He worked outside convential series (and Dr Who is Saturday teatime viewing, up against Ant and Dec, it should be as conventional as possible!) He is gay (in terms of difference and equality this matters).

And more I can't think of right now - something banging and bashing outside, need to investigate!
(Hope it's not Daleks)
