This beautiful gown was first seen on Maggie Smith as Portia in the 1972 adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice for BBC’s Play of the Month. The costume was used again in the long running television series Doctor Who, where it was worn by Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith in the 14th season episode The Masque of Mandragora in 1976.

Tom Baker: Where-ever our adventures were there was a special law of gravity that kept skirts down. Liz Sladen: We used to have such fun in the canteen…we had a Doctor Who table any everybody used to want to join it. Tom Baker: Fan love is superior to human love. We get tired of each other, bored. But the, the dedicated fans never get bored. Liz Sladen: I always trusted Tom Tom Baker: Darling, that has been the downfall of a lot of women. Liz Sladen: *laughs*

Richard Arnold, GMTV Live, when welcoming Elisabeth Sladen and Freema Agyeman onto a set that has an occupied Dalek on it said :

“How are you feeling in the presence of greatness? Clearly not my good self, but the Dalek.”

Freema, nervously : “Uh, well- well-

Sladen, casually : “Well, we have to be a bit careful of him.  We’ll just keep an eye on him I think.”

Dalek, screaming : “EX-TER-MI-NATE!!”

Sladen, chuckling and grinning with eminence confidence.  “Oh, no you don’t.”

Everyone laughs.
