Saw her on Tales of the Television Centre last year and I wonder if she's suffered a stroke as she was speaking out of the side of her mouth and sounded slurred.

I don't think she has- it might just be the way she speaks
On the Terror of the Autons commentary she talks about how her face had been badly injured in a car accident before she started on the show and how she's had many operations over the years. That might be part of the explanation.
I saw her in her Agatha Christie play a couple of weeks ago and she was speaking perfectly well. She's a trooper our Katy. She was carrying on with an injured leg and hernia after falling on ice.
The production is cursed. Co-star Dean Gaffney crashed his car the next night.
She has also had quite a lot of plastic surgery over the years. Hanging around with Liza Minelli didn't help either ! Still, she's a wonderful lady, and always has time for the fans.
Anyway, her speech isn't as impaired as Billy Pipers when she rerturned !
Yes, I opened this thread with some degree of trepidation.
Me too! A relief to see it wasn't news.
I hadn't known about her accident and related operations. But I did about her years in the sun and cosmetic surgery. I liked the Doctor's reaction to meeting her again: "you've been baked!".
She's such a lovely woman and still a favourite companion. Even though her character idea was something of a neanderthal throwback idea by the production team. Still, it was the seventies. Funny decade.
Sorry I didn't want to tempt any kind of fate as she was after Sarah Jane my favourite companion, it was just I was wondering if she had health issues. I never knew she'd been in a car crash.

Just like I did with that Janet Fielding thread a few weeks back

Last time I looked, she was very much alive!

Katy said she loved the photo.
Thats the 90s though.
Yes. But Katy said "Says so much about our time & team", meaning the seventies.
In which Frazer Hines came back with a very cheesy gag!
There's a reality show here ready to be made if you ask me!
I do. She's bloody brilliant on Twitter.
The Brig looks a bit... excited...
