The Doctor (The Next 20 Years)

An incarnation of the Doctor was active in 1988. She was the "first female Dr Who". She redesigned the interior of her TARDIS by adding wallpaper and carpet because she believed it would make the place more homely. One decorator at her disposal used pink paint. (NOTVALID: The Next 20 Years)
