purplecat: Romana 1 from Doctor Who (Who:Romana 1)

Picture of Mary Tamm (the first Romana) with her hair up under a flat cap.  Taken from DWM where the fold and staples of the magazine are also visit.  Caption says:  Mary Tamm, as herself (left) and as Romana the Timelady (right).  With Tom Baker as the Doctor in The Pirate Planet (top right and below).

I find DWM's claim that this is Mary Tamm, as herself, doubtful. I'm pretty sure this is a publicity still from The Stones of Blood.
purplecat: Romana 2 from Doctor Who (Who:Romana 2)

The three bodies Romana `tried on' at the start of Destiny of the Daleks.  The first is a tall Grecian figure.  The second is slightly shorter in an improbable gold bra kind of outfit - maybe aiming for some kind of Arabian nights feel though with the addition of what looks like a large white feather boa type thing.  The third is small and blue with a headless that conceals any hair.
Once upon a time there was a certain amount of debate about what precisely was going on when Romana tried on various bodies before selecting Princess Astra. I suspect the New Series hand waves about regeneration energy and the Tenth Doctor being able to regrow his hand shortly after regeneration have now settled the question.
