QUICK CHANGE ACT BY LALLA
ACTRESS Lalla Ward has everything to smile about —although she is going to age by 348 years in the next two weeks.
For Laila is to take over the role of Dr Who's assistant, Romana, in the BBC television serial.
She already plays a space princess in the current story and is used to the eccentric Doctor played by Tom Baker (left).
Lalla, 27, is best remembered by viewers as the daughter in The Duchess of Duke Street, and when she takes over from actress Mary Tamm as 375-year-old Time Lord Romana she will be Dr Who's eleventh girl assistant.
