Manning is famously short-sighted. A story regarding Manning's short-sightedness is often related about ''Terror of the Autons'', her first ''Doctor Who'' story. Manning had not informed anyone of her limited vision, and the script called for her and Jon Pertwee to run across a field. Manning ran straight into a [[tree]], and knocked herself unconscious. From then on, whenever a story called for the Doctor and Jo to run across quarries or down corridors, Jon Pertwee could be seen leading Manning by the hand.

She played the part of Jo from 1971 to 1973 alongside [[Jon Pertwee]]'s [[Third Doctor|Doctor]]. Manning struck up an immediate rapport with her co-stars, Pertwee, [[Nicholas Courtney]] ([[the Brigadier]]), [[John Levene]] (Sergeant [[Benton]]), [[Richard Franklin]] ([[Mike Yates|Captain Yates]]) and [[Roger Delgado]] ([[the Master]]). Fans of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' often refer to these characters as the [[United Nations Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] family (UNIT being the fictional [[United Nations]] squad that the Doctor worked for) and Katy has very fond memories of this period of her life.

RealWorld

Catherine Katy Ann Manning[1] (born on 14 October 1946[2][3] in Guildford, Surrey, England) played companion Jo Grant in Doctor Who beginning with Terror of the Autons and ending with The Green Death. She has also provided the voice for Iris Wildthyme in several of the Big Finish Productions audio dramas, and made many theatre appearances.

Manning is famously short-sighted. A story regarding Manning's short-sightedness is often related about Terror of the Autons, her first Doctor Who story. Manning had not informed anyone of her limited vision, and the script called for her and Jon Pertwee to run across a field. Manning ran straight into a tree, and knocked herself unconscious. From then on, whenever a story called for the Doctor and Jo to run across quarries or down corridors, Jon Pertwee could be seen leading Manning by the hand.

She played the part of Jo from 1971 to 1973 alongside Jon Pertwee's Doctor. Manning struck up an immediate rapport with her co-stars, Pertwee, Nicholas Courtney (the Brigadier), John Levene (Sergeant Benton), Richard Franklin (Captain Yates) and Roger Delgado (the Master).

In 1975, she married Raynor Burton, but that marriage lasted only two months. She gave birth to twins in 1978 with Dean Harris.
