'''June Hudson''' was the credited [[costumes|costumer]] on several stories of the later [[Tom Baker]] era of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. She was particularly closely associated with the costuming of the character of [[Romana]] — both in her [[Romana I|first]] and [[Romana II|second]] televised incarnations. She was responsible for [[Mary Tamm]]'s iconic and introductory all-white floor-length dress and many of [[Lalla Ward]]'s eclectic outfits. She was so identified with Ward's ever-changing wardrobe that she was a featured interviewee of the documentary, ''[[Lalla's Wardrobe]]'', on the ''[[Warriors' Gate]]'' DVD release.  

She also had profound impact on the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s look. She created his latter-day "plum" outfit and scarf, which was seen throughout [[Season 18]]. She was the first designer to employ the self-referential [[question mark]] on an item of [[the Doctor]]'s clothing — though she did so very reluctantly, at the behest of then [[producer]] [[John Nathan-Turner]].

{{quote|I said, 'No gentleman would wear a question mark. The only way he'd wear it is if were very small, and the same colour [as the shirt], so that you only saw it when it caught the light.' [[John Nathan-Turner|He]] said, 'But June, we want to market this, to make some money.'|June Hudson|DWM 427}}

Although she never finalised specific designs for anything in the [[Peter Davison]] era, her influence was directly felt until ''[[Time-Flight]]'', thanks to her design for [[Tegan Jovanka]]'s air hostess uniform. Also, she did some preliminary designs on the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s costume. She takes credit for putting [[Peter Davison|Davison]] in [[cricket]] whites. She is quick to point out, however, that she was not responsible for the "red edge on his coat" or the "ridiculous pyjama-striped trousers". ([[DWM 427|DWM #427]])
