DR. WHO'S new girl 22-year-old actress NICOLA BRYANT, (above) makes a dramatic first appearance tonight. She is saved from drowning.
Phew! However, the filming of this incident last October on the Canary island of Lanzarote turned out to be a wonderfully dotty introduction for young Nicola to the world of screen make-believe.
