@Watson I knew they'd considered her for a smaller part in one of the Fourth Doctor's stories (Keeper of Traken if memory serves) but wasn't aware she was considered for an actual Doctor role.

@Watson except, possibly, Joanna Lumley.
Nope: she was on the list, too, as a candidate for the Fifth.
Just saw her in a Netflix series called "Fool me Once". I haven't seen her since Absolutely Fabulous.
Oh fuck that was 30 years ago.

Joanna Lumley, in character as Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous, as The Doctor.

@Gern_Blaanston In fairness, half the reason for her casting in The Curse of Fatal Death is a setup for the final punchline of the Doctor's companion (Julia Sawalha, aka Saffy from Ab Fab) that was implied to be a romantic coupling, only for "Sorry Doctor, you're not the man I fell in love with!" and for the Doctor to walk off into the sunset with Jonathan Pryce's Master.
Bonus fact: Curse of Fatal Death was written by Steven Moffat (!)
