Maureen O\u2019Brien, who last appeared in Doctor Who<\/a> on-screen in 1965, has reprised her role for a special new scene.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien reappears as Vicki, formerly companion to the First Doctor (William Hartnell), in a new trailer to promote the release of the Doctor Who \u2013 The Collection: Season 2 Blu-ray set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the sequence, scripted by Doctor Who writer Pete McTighe (Kerblam!<\/a> and Praxeus<\/a>), Vicki recalls her amazing adventures with the Doctor and friends, which ended in the story The Myth Makers<\/a> when she\u00a0opted to depart the TARDIS having fallen in love with the Trojan warrior Troilus.<\/p>\n

We eventually see that it\u2019s Vicki\u2019s granddaughter who\u2019s being regaled by these tales of trips across time and space, establishing that Vicki remained in 12th century BC and had at least one daughter.<\/p>\n
