Theresa Nisha Nayar played the female programmer in the Doctor Who stories Bad Wolf and The Parting of the Ways and voiced Zanzibar in the Big Finish Doctor Who audio story Harvest of the Sycorax. She had earlier played an uncredited Red Kang in Paradise Towers. (DWM 326) She was the first female actor to appear in both main versions of Doctor Who.
