Margaret Thatcher inspired some unflattering portrayals in the Whoniverse. The misguided dictator [[Helen A]] from [[DW]]: ''[[The Happiness Patrol]]'' is widely supposed to be based upon her, whereas the villainess [[Rehctaht]], the female villain of ''[[Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma]]'', has the name Thatcher, spelled backwards. | Margaret Thatcher inspired some unflattering portrayals in the Whoniverse.
