  • She was also married to Geoffrey Beevers, and no doubt cheered him on instead of the Doctor when The Keeper of Traken aired.
  • As the essential role of the companion in Doctor Who is to ask a lot of questions which the viewers might be asking themselves, incoming producer Barry Letts, who had "inherited" her from his predecessor Derrick Sherwin, considered her character unsuitable and did not renew her contract — thus Liz ended up leaving without a proper departure scene. As Caroline was pregnant at the time, she might have had to resign had Letts exercised his option on her.

abstract
  • She was also married to Geoffrey Beevers, and no doubt cheered him on instead of the Doctor when The Keeper of Traken aired.
  • As the essential role of the companion in Doctor Who is to ask a lot of questions which the viewers might be asking themselves, incoming producer Barry Letts, who had "inherited" her from his predecessor Derrick Sherwin, considered her character unsuitable and did not renew her contract — thus Liz ended up leaving without a proper departure scene. As Caroline was pregnant at the time, she might have had to resign had Letts exercised his option on her. Caroline reprised the role of Liz in the anniversary episode The Five Doctors, where her character's unearthly scream of "Stop him!" is still fondly remembered by Doctor Who fans. Liz later popped up in the special episode Dimensions in Time, part of the BBC's annual Children in Need appeal. Shaw later returned as the star of the BBV spin-off video series, P.R.O.B.E.. Beginning in the late 2000s, Caroline resurrected Liz for a series of five entries in the first seven seasons of Big Finish's Companion Chronicles. A popular story told by Caroline John recounted how, in preparing for her role on Doctor Who, she purchased a dictionary of scientific terminology, then found that all the technical terms the writers had her character use were made up.
