Okay! To celebrate my finishing the original run of Troughton-era serials, it's time to throw the first of two parties!

This party, more or less, is dedicated entirely to the ladies of the Troughton era - the three gorgeous, kickass, feisty & brave companions that stepped into the TARDIS between 1966 & 1969 - Polly Wright, Victoria Waterfield & Zoe Heriot. Each of them brought something special to their Doctors, to their other companions & of course, to all of us that love & adore them.

& this is also partly, my way of saying 'screw you!' to everyone who thinks all original series companions were just whiny, helpless little girls who always needed to be saved by the Doctor or their other companions. BULLSHIT. Watch a few recons & serials & you'll find out just how wrong that conception is.

My first offering - a fanmix, just for the three of them! While the proper picspam is here, my mix is housed over at my personal community [livejournal.com profile] teasplash. Clicking the fake cut will take you right to it!

(One's a slayer of Cybermen. One kills mutant seaweed with her voice. One blows up computers by talking to them. Together, they fight crime as Troughton's Angels!)

& now to the picspam of our lovely Angels! Loads & loads of Polly, Victoria & Zoe behind each cut, with liberal dashes of Anneke Wills, Deborah Watling & of course, the darling Wendy Padbury at the very end. I do hope you enjoy it & if you've got caps, or anything you feel like sharing, share away! This is a party, after all!

*some of you may be wondering about the name of this picspam - it was inspired by an icon I saw of Three, Liz, Jo & Sarah Jane with the text 'Pertwee's Angels' on it. I LOVE that icon & I thought that it actually fitted for Two's companions - he too had three lovely girls for companions, who were just as brave, after all! & it's also a bit of an in-joke between myself & [livejournal.com profile] nentari - any gal from Two's era, that should have been made a companion is an honorary Angel! & there are at least four that should have been, but sadly, they aren't included here. Maybe one day I'll give them their own picspam.

(& yes, I will be making a mix for the ladies of Three's era - there might not be a picspam for them, but there will be a mix for them! I'm already working on it, actually!)


SO. NOT. DIAL-UP. FRIENDLY.

Starting at the beginning, we have the most glamorous Cyberman slayer in seven galaxies - my personal style icon & fashion inspiration, Polly Wright!





(& look! Bonus Dodo!)







(HOW she can stay so pretty after a fight with Ben, I do not know. But she can!)





POLLY IN THE TARDIS!





(ARGH, I LOVE THIS SHOT SO MUCH. ::waves the Ben/Polly flag happily::)



































(I think Polly wore a pixie cut nicely, but I love her longer hair!)









Next up, we have the glamorous, exceptionally brave, & quite fierce miss Victoria Waterfield!











































(is it wrong of me to be lusting after both Victoria in this shot & her legs? She was quite the leggy thing!)













(I absolutely love this picture of them - it may not be as good of quality as the black & white one, but I think it's just beautiful. Jamie & Victoria were so much in love, weren't they?)













(not the best shot yes, but look! MORE VICTORIAN LEGS!)

























All good things come to an end, sadly.

& our last part brings us to our third & final Angel - Zoe Heriot, the logician with the mind of a computer who likes to wear miniskirts & sparkly catsuits!

















(our miss Heriot is also, apparently, a bit of a demolitions expert!)























Zoe: Yay, I blew up a computer!

Isobel (thinking): O my god, my girlfriend just blew up a computer.

















(all stories have an ending, sadly. But at least Zoe was dressed smartly for hers.)

& as promised, a rather liberal dashing of Anneke, Debbie & Wendy, right behind this cut! Loads of glamour from our girls!



(usually I wouldn't include signed things, but this is a picture of Anneke I've never seen before & I thought she looked amazing in it. So in it went!)









(being a neo dolly bird myself, I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SNAP.)







(this snap for the tenth anniversary of Doctor Who, I think, rather amuses me - Ben, why are you & Polly running into the ocean?! Why does the Cyberman look like he's flipping the two of you off? WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS PICTURE. ::giggles::)

& these are some caps that [livejournal.com profile] nentari shared with her flist of Anneke in The Saint. Doesn't she look fab?









(Ireallywanthereyesomfg)





Anneke with bonus David Tennant!



& now she's in his TARDIS! ::giggles::

Okay, that should last any Anneke fanbunny a while . . . so how about some of the lovely miss Deborah Watling?







(she really does look like Alice here, I think. It's the hair & the eyes, I'd say.)



(damn watermarks! But it doesn't detract too much from Debbie's beauty, does it? I think not!)





(::kicks watermarks:: But DUDE, I WANT THAT SKIRT SHE HAS ON! Hell, I just kind of want HER. This one's my favourite, in case you couldn't guess.)



(as the Kinks would say, she's so dolly! & yes, all the fellows would agree.)

::sighs:: I know, I know, NEEDS MOAR DEBBIE. But alas, that's all I've got of her, so how about some of our sixties space nymphette Wendy Padbury?







(SO MUCH ADORABLE. & I love her little white boots!)







(yes, that is Wendy wearing her yellow leather laced outfit from The Seeds of Death - she & Frazer were so fond of their laced outfits that they both kept them after filming was done. Exquisite taste, the both of them!)



(::dies & is happily dead:: Can I have this for Christmas plz?)





(& you wondered why I called her a space nymphette. No wonder she got goosed so often during filmings! ::giggle::)





(in these two, I thought she looked a hell of a lot like Françoise Hardy on her first album cover. Which is amusing, because miss Wendy now lives in France, I think.)





(::bounces with fangirlish joy:: FRAZER & PADDERS ARE NEVER NOT CUTE TOGETHER. EVER.)



(nope, don't know what she's got next to her, but she's adorable as ever, so who cares?)





(back to the Françoise Hardy looks! ::swoons::)



(yes, the quality of this is just GODAWFUL, but PEOPLE. BATHING SUIT. ::falls over:: I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS FROM, THANKYOU.)

& those are our lovely ladies, then, now & in-between, but I have one final picture for all of you.



That's right - all three of Troughton's Angels together! & I think they still look quite lovely myself.

(caps & snaps all snagged from The Tragical History Tour & some from my own collection. The caps of Anneke in The Saint were done by [livejournal.com profile] nentari.)

Phew! Now that was an epic picspam & possibly more epic than my Jamie one! But it sure was fun & I'm glad to finally have it up! Worth the sadness of The War Games, possibly.
