She joined the show in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis Logopolis]]", the final serial to feature Creator/TomBaker's [[Characters/DoctorWhoFourthDoctor Fourth Doctor]], and remained on the show for almost the entirety of Creator/PeterDavison's run as the [[Characters/DoctorWhoFifthDoctor Fifth Doctor]], departing two stories before Davison in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks Resurrection of the Daleks]]".

4	Since leaving ''Doctor Who'', [[CreatorBacklash she has often been critical of the show during her time on it]], frequently complaining about the way she and her fellow companions were treated. This reached its highpoint with a notorious on-stage outburst at Panopticon 1993 when she told a room full of fans that any show that treated its female characters as badly as ''Doctor Who'' did deserved to have been cancelled.

6	She has also blamed ''Doctor Who'' for killing her acting career; having achieved limited success in the years since leaving the show, in 1991 she gave up acting to become a theatrical agent. Her clients included Creator/PaulMcGann, who was cast as the [[Characters/DoctorWhoEighthDoctor Eighth Doctor]] while represented by her.
