Janet's longer-lasting impact on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' may well have been her [[1983]]-[[1987]] stint as the 13th ''[[Blue Peter]]'' presenter. She was the host who conducted the introductory interviews with newly-cast [[Doctor]]s, [[Colin Baker]] and [[Sylvester McCoy]]. The latter interview was particularly notable, as ''Blue Peter'' had exclusive rights to announce McCoy's casting in the role. She was also instrumental in ''Blue Peter''{{'}}s celebration of the twentieth anniversary special, ''[[The Five Doctors]]'' and the unusually heavy coverage they gave to ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s return-from-hiatus, ''[[The Trial of a Time Lord]]''. | |||
She is the daughter of [[Mike Ellis]], the uncredited [[visual effects]] designer who was also the operator of [[Drathro]] in ''[[The Mysterious Planet]]''. | She is the daughter of [[Mike Ellis]], the uncredited [[visual effects]] designer who was also the operator of [[Drathro]] in ''[[The Mysterious Planet]]''. | ||
