N is for... Norna


Norna was an inhabitant of the human colony established on the planet Frontios, in the far distant future. Her father was Mr Range, science officer. She assisted him in his work, as well as working in the infirmary. She and the Doctor's companions, Tegan and Turlough, broke into the colony ship to collect an acid-filled battery to help light the hospital.
With Turlough, she helped explore the subterranean tunnels - which proved to be the work of the alien Tractators. She cared for him when the sight of the creatures triggered a traumatic race memory in him. She was later captured by rebels who believed that their leader, Plantagenet, had been killed, and was able to tell them this was not true.

Played by: Lesley Dunlop. Appearances: Frontios (1984).
  • Dunlop returned to the series to play Susan Q in The Happiness Patrol
  • For a time she was married to Christopher Guard, who played Bellboy in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, and was therefore sister-in-law to Dominic Guard (Terminus).
