About this listen

In the 1970s, she travelled the universe aboard the TARDIs. Now, 30 years on, actress Mary Tamm recounts the story of her own, earthbound, adventures.

Born to Estonian parents in 1950s Bradford, her rise to fame took her from a Northern childhood to life in the fast lane: via TV appearances in Coronation Street and Girls of Slender Means to leading roles in feature films – including the cult Tales that Witness Madness, and The Odessa File, which pitched her career into the international arena. In 1978, Mary became part of essential Saturday night television as she joined the cast of Doctor Who, alongside Tom Baker, as the superlative Time Lady, Romana!

Critic reviews

"An excellent read in its own right, this book deserves to find an audience beyond the Doctor Who faithful. Roll on volume two….VERDICT: 9/10 Stirring stuff. There’s definitely something about Mary." (Jonathan Wilkins, Total Scifi)

Profile Image for Phil Butler

wonderful, enchanting and entertaining.

Having met Mary a couple of times, once at a convention, and the other a book signing of this very autobiography. As I wanted to keep my own physical and signed copy in pristine condition, I decided to listen to it in my free time. Never once did I find it boring, or uninteresting. As a fellow Bradfordian, the places described and discussed are very well known to me, and brings things to life. Although Dr Who only plays a small part in this story of Mary's early years, other aspects of her career are certainly of interest also.
