Page "City of Death" Paragraph 13

Tom Baker found filming in Paris to be a very different experience to what he was used to in the UK where crowds would gather to watch the filming and meet the stars.

Doctor Who was not shown in France at the time and so the cast and crew were largely ignored.

Lalla Ward found City of Death the most challenging Doctor Who serial she worked on but was pleased with the final outcome, saying, " We had to film loads of scenes in the rain and cold ... there was no glamour in it at all ... it was different from the ordinary stories too and I like the finished result ".

Seeing her costumes as an important part in creating the role of Romana, Ward clashed with costume designer Doreen James, rejecting the silver catsuit James had designed for her for the story.

Ward came up with the idea for the schoolgirl costume she wore in conjunction with Baker, recalling, " I thought it would be fun to wear something that little girls probably hated wearing because it might cheer them up ...

I didn't bank on the fact that I'd also get loads of letters from their fathers saying ' Cool School uniform!

'".
