About this episode

Peter Purves chats with Wendy Padbury about her journey from ballet to the BBC and her experiences in the entertainment industry.

This time we speak to fellow Doctor Who companion and favourite of the convention circuit Wendy Padbury. Going from the dancefloor as a ballerina, to the studio floor of the BBC, and taking time to be a theatrical agent; this was a lovely chat with someone who I genuinely look forward to seeing out there on the convention circuit. Be a fly on the wall of our catch up and I think you’ll enjoy it as much as me.
