From the Marina web site:-
"Our thanks first of all to Sheridan Smith who spent over 3 hours talking and signing autographs for everyone.
The charity draw was held in the Toy shop and the Dalek was a huge hit with hundreds of children who were at the event"....

After switching on the Christmas Lights,
Sheridan visited the Shop in the
Toy Museum and met Derek

Sheridan was delighted that Derek identified her as "Lucie Miller", the Doctor's assistant she played in Blood of The Daleks.

Sheridan Smith is the actress best known for playing Emma in the sitcom The Royle Family, Janet in Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and Michelle in the BBC3 TV the comedy Grownups.

Doctor Who fans will also remember that she also played Lucie Miller, a companion of the eight Doctor in a series of audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions for BBC7.

She loved meeting Derek so much she proposed to him ! (Now how would that work???)
