ONE FOR THE DADS: LEELA, a chamois-leather clad tribal warrior who appeared to have stumbled off the set of 1,000,000 Years BC. Apparently named after Palestinian hijacker Leila Khaled, she was part Emma Peel (with a knife!), part Tarzan's Jane, and was almost certainly responsible for single-handedly awakening many millions of young boys' sexuality. Behaved as violently as the programme would allow and talked without using grammatical contractions or apostrophes ("Doctor, these 'taxes' they are like sacrifices to tribal gods?"), mainly in order to ask plot-idiot questions. This lent her an air of vulnerability, although the grown-up males watching probably fancied taking their chances in a one-on-one wrestling smackdown.
