Just how many of you have jerked off to Peri?

I want to see how many members have blown their load to Peri. I certainly have.

I never saw the big deal with her, tbh. There are far cuter companions in classic.

Indeed. She's pretty, but I think the likes of Polly, Zoe, Tegan, Mel and Ace are much nicer.

Nyssa and Romana too

Nicola couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. I'm really surprised that Bonnie gets shit on more despite being ten times more talented.

I thought she was good in Star Trek Continues recently.

Overacted rubbish. The bald cap is only slightly more convincing than the one Gene Hackman wore in Superman II. Most of the time her acting was just awful:

Hardly her fault though, Maxil.

Most of the time her acting was just awful:

The only problem I think is that (a) the fact she was made to put on an accent was grating, and (b) often there was not enough good writing or character for her to work with.

Not since I was 14. And it wasn't Peri because it was 1977.
When I found my Dad's stash of porn mags I didn't watch so much telly.

In response to Tannman's last post above ...

It also didn't help that Nicola was required to continually keep bickering with the Doctor. That got better in her last season but i didn't much care for the season itself although i would have liked to have seen her in the Vervoid story.

I thought she was fine. And i preferred her work on the show to what followed assistance wise. I just found Ace and Mel much less convincing in their roles.

Mel works a lot better in the audios 'coz you can't see her.

You can always imagine her in the shower in The Juggernauts though

Was it really funny enough for you to include two laughing faces? I really need to add a wanking emoticon at some point. That would have been more appropriate to use in a reply to his comment.

I dont think i have heard any of the audios with her in but in principle at least I can understand what you're saying.

That said I have heard some of Sylvester's and his performaces were a lot better than in his televised stories. Specifically the Dalek story "The Genocide Machine". Aswell as one or two others.

I was gonna add 3, but I held back to spare your sensitivities.

I never really knew what you were supposed to do while you listened to those audios. Do you lot exercise while you listen to them or do you reserve them for journeys?

I reserve them for journeys, walks on the beach or woods, train journeys.

These days I generally reserve them for insomnia.

At one time I actually thought the audios were the pinnacle of Doctor Who, and as good as the franchise ever got.

I haven't cared about them much recently though, I must admit. I think the last ones I listened to were The Rani Elite and Masters of Earth, with Colin and Peri.

I remember thinking they didn't really live up to more than the average blander Smith episodes, let alone their golden age.

There's a few others I've bought that I keep meaning to give a try, but I just haven't been enthused to for a long time.

I really liked them too early on, but I started getting bored with them around No.50.
I still think some of earlier stories and spin-offs are great. In fact I prefer some of the spin-offs like Dalek Empire, Cyberman, I Davros and others more than the main range, to this day.

She looked ridiculously good in Varos.
