->Everybody laments how Creator/ColinBaker was put in a truly awful position by ''Doctor Who''. There is no disputing that. However, Nicola Bryant suffered just as much. She spent her time on the show being objectified and ogled and taken advantage of. Peri's primary function on the show was to serve as eye candy that could be put in peril... Indeed, the fact that Peri is routinely treated as nothing but a sex object is even treated as a joke here. Discussing an old dying warlord, she notes, "Beams that kill weren't the only thing he had on his mind. Dirty old warlord. Glad we left that place when we did." She is so used to the objectification that she seems [[InsultBackfire visibly relieved]] when Sil refers to her as the Doctor's [[HumansAreUgly "revoltingly ugly assistant."]] At least she doesn't have to worry about Sil, then.

->None of this is because you want it. You had what you wanted, before that damnable [[MascotMook Red Arremer]] swooped down to take her. Your armor sitting there, mere feet away, crumbled in a post-coital heap as she was stolen. Now you have no choice but this endless forward march. No second thoughts or hesitations, compelled by lust or duty not to avert your eyes, you march on, up these horrific towers, pushing desperately for an unnecessary redemption.
