Nothing against Lalla Ward (or Mary Tamm), but I'm not a fan of the character of Romana. IMHO, The Doctor needs a companion(s) of a different race to him.

I adore Mary Tamm's Romanadvoratrelundar, but Lalla Ward was 'the noblest Romana of them all'. Her upper-class but other-worldly character worked well with the larger-than-life Fourth Doctor, creating an odd, yet special friendship. Having a companion from the Doctor's own race was a clever move and made a pleasant change - the Doctor's adventures were shared with someone as intelligent, cultured, eccentric (and almost as bizarrely dressed) as himself. This would never happen in the modern series. The Fourth Doctor, Romana II and K9 are without doubt, my favourite Doctor/Companion line-up.

Must confess I prefer Mary Tamm as Romana, but it may be because most of Lalla’s first season isn’t that great.
Or maybe I prefer Mary Tamm because I recently rewatched the Key to Time season.
Who knows.
Started to warm to Lalla a bit more in her second season, but then she’s gone.
I can’t get that drippy Princess Astra out of my head either I’m afraid.

I like both Romana's, I couldn't pick one that I prefer above the other. Whenever I see Mary Tamm's season I always think it's such a shame that she didn't stay longer. It feels too fleeting. But then I think the same with Liz Shaw and Harry Sullivan. I love listening to Mary Tamm on the Big Finish audios, particularly Phantoms Of The Deep and The Justice Of Jalxar. She seemed like a lovely lady. Romana II was my first companion, and her first season is just great Servo, lol
