[edit]

LYNDA BARRON has been reading up on women pirates. "They were terrifying," she says.

"Every bit as wild and wicked as their crew and bare chested with it."

Lynda, lately the cuddly nurse Gladys Emmanuel in Open Au Hours, is a pirate captain in the new four-part adventure of DR. WHO (BBC-1, 8.55). "But fully dressed," she says.

Prints

"We've based what wear on old prints. Women buccaneers were extravagantly dressed and always wore the best hand-made boots, probably stolen."

Tonight the Doctor (Peter Davison) materialises on an Edwardian yacht which is taking part in an unusual race for which the prize is "enlightenment."

Lynda, who makes her swashbuckling bow in tomorrow's episode, says: "People do expect me to fly and rotund but frankly, I'm not as big as Nurse Gladys' navy-blue mac might lead you to think.

"I am not a bit like her, or your average district nurse or, come to that, your average pirate."

Her second in command is played by London-born Leee John (and he does spell it with a triple "e"), lead singer of the group Imagination.

He lived in New York during his late teens and took up acting in off-Broadway plays.

The group Imagination have been in the charts regularly for two years.
