I expect those paying attention noticed anyway, but just in case:

CALAPINE MADE A BARBARA TRIBUTE VID! (I may have squeaked. In a good way). And, yes, it is of course as gorgeous as this combination of calapine's vidding skills and Jacqueline Hill/Barbara Wright's awesome would lead you to expect.

"Doctor Who's Matt Smith Talks Tea - Victoria Wood's Nice Cup of Tea - BBC One" (Watch on YouTube)

(Not that I wish to sound annoying, but if anyone really thinks there weren't any strong DW female characters and/or actresses before New Who - and I'm sure no one here does - watch this, and see how wrong a person can be. :-p)

I don't know who this vidder is, but I am about to go introduce myself and declare myself her number one fan. Thank you so much for point this out to us!

If you've not come across them before, calapine makes the best DW vids ever (imo!) and you should definitely check out her amazing multi-era celebrations while you are there - What About Everything, The Black Parade, and The Adventure.

:-D

Ooh, here's a late comment, pardon me -- remember how "The Black Parade" got yanked from YouTube? I was really startled tonight to find it back there again -- I watched a video, and got pointed to that one, so I happily put it in my favorites very quickly indeed!

Aw, thank you! (late comments are always nice!) I realised a few weeks ago, actually - jjpor was talking about it and I was all "But it's not there any more!" and he said it was... and it had come back. (I'm not sure he totally believed me about its vanishment.) I'd forgotten we were both talking about it a while ago, too, sorry!
