And Caroline John (Liz Shaw)died recently too. Well known Who people do seem to be dropping on a regular basis at the moment.
This is just appalling news.
Coincidentally both assistants were in the show for only a season but they're probably the two best remembered and loved of the short-run ones. I think they both left to have babies too which is another co-incidence, although there were plans to write Liz Shaw out. Her character was slightly ahead of its time and was replaced by a dolly bird (Jo Grant).
Caroline's stories are not the best (Inferno anyone?) but she's great in all of them and it's a shame she didn't do more, I could watch her all day. She also comfortably out-acts Pertwee and all the U.N.I.T. hams.
