Doctor Who has finally answered a question that\u2019s been plaguing fans for almost 40 years \u2013 what really<\/em> happened to Peri?<\/p>\n Nicola Bryant played companion Peri Brown opposite Colin Baker\u2019s Sixth Doctor in the 1980s, but the character appeared to meet a dark fate in her final appearance as a series regular.<\/p>\n In the 1986 story The Trial of a Time Lord, the alien Kiv appeared to transplant his brain into Peri\u2019s body, effectively killing her. It was later suggested, however, that Peri had survived, that the evidence of her death had been faked, and that she was now living as queen to the warrior king Yrcanos (Brian Blessed).<\/p>\n Fans never actually saw<\/em> this happen, however, with some remaining convinced that Peri had died, while others were just curious as to what exactly her life with the eccentric King Ycarnos would\u2019ve entailed.<\/p>\n 36 years later and we\u2019ve finally got our answer, as part of a trailer for the next classic Doctor Who<\/a> Blu-ray set \u2013 The Collection: Season 22.<\/p>\n
