Janet Fielding (born Janet Claire Mahoney, 9 September 1953) is an Australian actress, known for her role in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who as companion Tegan Jovanka.
Early life and career
Fielding was born in Brisbane. As 'Janet Claire Fielding' she made her UK TV debut in the Hammer House of Horror episode "Charlie Boy", which aired in October 1980 as it was announced she had been cast as the next Doctor Who companion.
In 1991 Fielding gave up acting to take up an administrative position with Women in Film and Television UK. While she maintained the position for only three and a half years, she has continued to work with the group since then, managing the Skillset study on successful women in television in 2009. After leaving her position with the group, Fielding worked as a theatrical agent, at one point representing Paul McGann when he took the role of the Eighth Doctor.
First seen in the serial The Daleks, the outward manifestation is portrayed as a powerful, technically advanced travel machine in which a hideous and malevolent mutant, the Dalek creature, resides. Although the general appearance of the Daleks has remained the same, details of both the casing and the mutant creature have changed over time. Alterations were made to accommodate the requirements of specific plot elements in various serials and episodes or at the request of producers, designers and directors to revitalise the Dalek appearance. On other occasions design changes have been the result of practical considerations when filming the Dalek props on location or the mixing of components acquired from different sources.
The episodes "Asylum of the Daleks" (2012), "The Magician's Apprentice" (2015) and "The Witch's Familiar" (2015) feature many of the Dalek variants seen in the Doctor Who programme since its inception. Four 1960s style Dalek props were recreated by Titan Props for the British television docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time (2013), commissioned by the BBC to celebrate the Doctor Who programme's fiftieth anniversary.

Doctor Who Convention - A disaster in the making! (Peter Davison, Janet Fielding & Sarah Sutton)
It doesn't matter how big the event, sometimes things just don't go to plan and I imagine the organiseres of this Panopticon convention from back in 1987 were cringing inside as this panel unfolded.
Whilst you may not be too bothered about seeing guests smoking on stage anymore, hopefully we won't be seeing them bleeding for fandom again any time soon.
VIDEO TRADING - I have quite a large collection of video footage (71 edits, conventions, location, studio footage, documentaries, interviews etc) and am always happy to hear from anyone who might be interested in trading footage privately. I'm ESPECIALLY keen to hear from anyone who has a copy of the 5 Doctors studio tapes - not the bits from the DVD release but many hours worth which found its way into fan circles.
