Lalla:My favorite who girl ...Continue »
I fell for Lalla Ward in the mid 1980's for the first time on Dr. who. I never see such a beautiful woman such as Lalla Ward. I can't help it. I'm in love with her. In the Dr. Who Magazine, the magazine I get in the mid 1980's, I see every picture of her. I can't help it she's very beautiful I'm in love with her. It's too bad that she spent a few years on Dr.Who. a few years isn't good. I want to see more of Lalla. I don't care about her talent, she is a beautiful woman. She is the real reason why I watch Dr. Who.
