Career: Cole made her TV debut in an episode of Z Cars in 1968. She went on to make guest appearances in several TV shows but her big break didn't come until she was cast as Dr Beatrice Mason in Tenko in 1981. She played the kindly doctor for three series and a one-off special. Other notable roles include Mrs Featherstone in Open All Hours, Betty Sillitoe in A Bit of a Do, Diana Trent in Waiting for God and Joan Norton in Doc Martin. More recently, she played Sylvia Goodwin in Coronation Street and revived the role of Mrs Featherstone in Still Open All Hours.
Quote: 'I laugh like a drain at most jokes, but then instantly forget them.'

Early TV credits included Z Cars, Emmerdale and Space: 1999 but her big break came in 1977 when she was cast as Leela, the leather-clad barbarian warrior companion of the fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) in Doctor Who.
Career: In the early 1980s, Jameson had a lead role in the first two series of popular BBC drama Tenko. She went on star in Bergerac as Jim Bergerac's girlfriend for five years. In 1998 she began an association with EastEnders that ran to more than 200 episodes as Rosa di Marco. More recently she has appeared in River City, Doc Martin, Doctors and Holby City. When she is not gracing the small screen, she can usually be found on the stage.
Quote: 'When I was Leela I was surprised I became a sex symbol. I thought Doctor Who was just a children's show.'
