Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]

(This synopsis is taken from the 1985 VHS edition)

Perpugilliam Brown may well be one of the longest names an assistant has had in Doctor Who. Better known as Peri, the Doctor’s current companion has proved enormously popular with fans of the BBC TV series.

Much of the credit for this must go to Nicola Bryant who is the subject of this issue. Interviewed by Nicholas Briggs, Nicola tells how it has felt starting her career in the worlds’ most most popular Science Fiction programme.

(This synopsis is taken from the 1990 VHS edition)

From her health club to locations used in “Attack of the Cybermen”, Nicola Bryant talks to Nicholas Briggs about her experiences playing the part of Perpugilliam Brown in Doctor Who.

Recorded when Doctor Who was under threat of cancellation, this interview gives an [sic] fascinating insight into Nicola’s fears and hopes for the future at that time.

(This synopsis is taken from the 1996 VHS edition)

"The phone rang and they said, ‘Can we have your comments on the death of Doctor Who?’."

Undoubtedly, Nicola Bryant’s portrayal of Perpugilliam Brown has become one of the most popular characters in the history of Doctor Who.

When Nicholas Briggs first talked to Nicola in 1985, Doctor Who had been cancelled (for the first time) and its future was uncertain.

Now, eleven years later, they met again to discuss her last season in the programme and life after Doctor Who.

Both interviews are combined in this Myth Makers, giving us a fascinating insight into Nicola’s evolving life and career.
