#I'd suffer a full series of tecteun being an immoral monster to the doctor

[mariocki]

Tecteun might be a real Bad Egg, but Barbara Flynn is an angel, and her appearing in DW has been a long time coming (and she has form with previous Doctors...):

She first found fame in WW2 drama A Family at War (Granada, 1970 - 1972), which featured Patrick Troughton among the supporting cast

She and Peter Davison starred together in A Very Peculiar Practice (BBC, 1986 - 1992), as did fellow DM alumnus (and son of Patrick) David Troughton

Peter Capaldi and Barbara in the first series of Chandler & Co (BBC, 1994) - neither returned for the second series

Barbara had a recurring role in Cracker (Granada, 1993 - 2006), as did a young Christopher Eccleston

I can't find any decent images, but both Barbara and David Tennant pop up in He Knew He Was Right (BBC, 2004)

And although I don't think they share any scenes, Sylvester McCoy and Barbara both have supporting roles in The Christmas Candle (2013)

That's not to mention a long career of incredible performances (she will always be the brilliant, unflappable, immovable Mrs. Jill Swinburne to me) opposite just about every major modern star you can think of. So while we might all agree that her character in Who is a rotter (to put it mildly) this blog remains a Barbara Flynn celebration zone!
