Behind the scenes
Although there have been many occasions in which married couples have been involved with Doctor Who and related productions in front of and behind the lens or microphone, a few real-life marriages worth noting include Jon Pertwee and Jean Marsh (who were married in the 1950s, years before either appeared on the series); Tom Baker and Lalla Ward (who wed during a break in production on TV: The Keeper of Traken but divorced a year and a half later); and David Tennant and his TV: The Doctor's Daughter co-star Georgia Moffett (also the daughter of Peter Davison). Caroline John was also married to Master actor Geoffrey Beevers until her death.
