Last Chance Saloon

Val, the department store clerk in 'Closing Time' who thinks the Doctor and Craig are an adorable couple, looked familiar; so green_trilobite looked her up on IMDb and found she'd worked on Dr Who twice before - in the Davison era as Captain Wrack (over-the-top Eternal pirate lady)in 'Enlightenment;' and in the Hartnell era's notorious 'The Gunfighters' (she sings the endless ballad that accompanies the narrative.)

We rewatched both this evening - 'Enlightenment' was still good; 'The Gunfighters' was actually not as bad as I remember, despite the wonky accents. I like it that the Doctor basically makes them leave at the end because Dodo is 'shipping Doc Holliday/Bignose Kate way too hard.
