Pertwee's daughter features in Bill

Fans of the classic Doctor Who series should tune in to The Bill on Wednesday, October 3, if they want to see a rare TV appearance by Jon Pertwee's daughter, Dariel.

The actress's career has been somewhat overshadowed by that of her younger brother, Sean, but she gets a chance to shine in an episode in which her character, Gail Quigley, is arrested by Phil Hunter, Stuart Turner and Terry Perkins for selling stolen jewellery.

Dariel has spent much of her career on the stage, but has cropped up in episodes of Doctors and Silent Witness.

Her father played the Time Lord from 1970 to 1974.

Ex-Coronation Street actress Elisabeth Sladen, who is one of The Doctor's most well remembered assistants, returns to the small screen in spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures on Monday, September 24 on BBC One.
