JANET FIELDING

'Janet Fielding' (born 'Janet Mahoney', 1957, Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian actress known for her role in the BBC science fiction television series ''Doctor Who'' as Tegan Jovanka, a companion of the Fifth Doctor.
Fielding played the part between 1981 and 1984. She made a guest appearance on ''Jim'll Fix It'' in a Doctor Who related sketch alongside Colin Baker's Doctor in 1985 (''A Fix with Sontarans'').
In 1982, Fielding married ''Daily Mirror'' foreign editor Nick Davies, who later became notable for allegations of being an arms dealer and Mossad agent.^[1] They divorced in 1991.
In the 1990s, Fielding worked as a theatrical agent, at one point representing Paul McGann when he took the role of the Eighth Doctor.
Despite distancing herself from ''Doctor Who'' for many years and being vocal in her criticisms of the programme, she returned to the role of Tegan for a Big Finish Productions audio play titled ''The Gathering'' released in 2006, once again alongside Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor. Fielding has also provided audio commentary for several DVD releases of Tegan's ''Doctor Who'' stories.
Fielding now works as the head of finance for a major charity organization.
