Liz Shaw (Caroline John)
Originally called in by UNIT during the first Nestene invasion, she stayed on as the Doctor's assistant. Together, she and the Doctor make a formidable research team, the one making up for the shortcomings of the other. Liz becomes quite serious and intense when she has a scientific problem to unravel. Her brilliance is sometimes overshadowed by the Doctor's own genius. Liz has a wry sense of humor and appreciates the Doctor's irreverent and lighthearted approach to UNIT affairs. She is quick-witted and will make the most of any opportunity presented to her. Because she is strong-minded, she seldom takes orders: She usually has to be convinced to the necessity of doing something before taking action. Fair hair, green-brown eyes and sharp-featured face would make anyone stand out in the scientific community, but Liz also has a tendency to wear outrageously fashionable clothes. Her favorite colors appear to pink, cream and brown and she tends to wear pink or cream-colored miniskirted dresses. Her outfits are rounded off by knee-length white boots, a black voluminous short coat for outside wear, and a white, floppy-brimmed hat.
