She didn't die, how could she, she just popped back to her Tardis, regenerated and went to the 17th Century that she so loves. Well, at least in my imaginings she did. A beautiful wonderful actress, so sorely missed.
This brought so many feels. I miss Kate and her character The Rani. They should bring back the Rani in her memory. The Doctor Who fandom will keep her memory alive. Rest in peace Kate O'Mara, you will be missed.
They'll never bring her back, because according to Steven Moffat, 'She's not a memorable character', because to him, that is the only reason to bring a character back, despite the fact that people have been asking for her to return for ages.
It's such a shame she'll never get her chance to be part of the current series. She was a wonderful actress. I am honored to have two of her stories she was a part of. The Mark of and Time of The Rani. She should've been Missy or at least given a chance to pass her role on to a new actress. Rest in Peace, Kate. We miss you.

Am I the only one who liked Time and The Rani? I mean, slapdash regeneration and giant brain aside, I still found it to be a fun story (especially when The Rani was pretending to be Mel, which was a spot on impression!) I would have also liked to have seen a story with her against The First Doctor. I imagine their characters would really mesh on screen together! R.I.P Kate O'Mara
In my opinion, it is the absolute worst thing ever written in the entire history of television. Without hyperbole. Kate O'Mara is great as The Rani though.
Yeah, I will agree it's definitely not great, but I still enjoyed it. Then again, I had watched The Twin Dilemma shortly before which is without a doubt the worst thing to be associated with the show in it's 51 year history! Maybe I just needed something really campy and silly after that disaster! lol
I love the ranis stories its a shame they didnt make more, rip kate omara I think there is only one person who can bring the rani back in the current series and do her as much justice as kate omara did and I feel that is jaime murray
Thank you, Kate, that would be my fantasy episode that will never come true in this uninspired reality. Kate O'Mara as The Rani and Peter Capaldi as The Doctor was certainly an egregious missed opportunity but somewhat soften by the fact that we got Michelle Gomez as Missy. RIP, Kate. You were brilliant and so truly missed.
Thanks! I was actually able to watch the first part today (busy) and was blown away when I saw the Doctor regenerate. Didn't know that was the first Sylvester McCoy episode. Excited to watch the rest.
It woulda been a whoppa if Kate's Rani had an encounter with Peter's 12th doctor! R.I.P. to a Who icon, Kate O' Mara (The Rani) #LongLiveTheRani Plus I'm pretty sure the Rani, like the Doctor & Missy can regenerate.....#WhoKnows?
It's a shame she was only used twice and that Kate O'Mara isn't still alive to at least do a regeneration sequence. I still hope they bring the character back and dedicate the story in her memory.
Tecteun should eventually become the rani, that would be a great backstory for her of how she was the one who found the only timelord (the doctor) and experimented on her eventually creating all the time lords on galifrey and making herself one in the process as essentially the rani was also created from the same experiments as the master. Yo science 🧬 🧪
Wish new who would use the classic villains; The Rani. She would be such a good character and with the New Who way of taking a character and developing them into something which is so fantastic. Like there is so many actresses that would just be a perfect Rani. And it would be a great tribute to Kate O’Mara
The person in the crowd staring at Kate O'Mara while s/he has his/her hands down his/her pants is creepy as hell. They're in the same spot the entire video - how did security not notice?
The Line I know everybody now is with the modern series is not true I grew up with Nu Who yet 2 of my favourite Doctors are classic and generally prefer the Classics.
The Rani needs to return with Kate O'Mara in the role and then she regenerates into a younger Rani to be a new advisory for the current Doctor it's time.
Jack Lewis With computer graphics being as good as they are today, they actually could do that quite easily. Render up some old images of Ms. O'Mara, find some old audio, or maybe even hire a "sound-alike," and BOOM! Reboot Era Rani. :)
Would have been nice to see the Rani again/ A lot like Six in general, she was a good character shafted by some dreadful stories on the original series.
It's publicly unclear: papers say "a short illness", which could mean anything. For whatever reason, her doctor(s) and her family have chosen to keep it private.
Such a shame they really missed their opportunity to bring her back before she passed away. They could've easily brought her back as fan service before giving her a regeneration scene!
RIP Kate O Mara :( while Time and the Rani was probaly the worst thing Ive seen she gave a great performance with some of the most cringe worthy and pantomime lines ever her cemetery with Mcoy was great even with the awful script.
She didn't die, how could she, she just popped back to her Tardis, regenerated and went to the 17th Century that she so loves.
Well, at least in my imaginings she did. A beautiful wonderful actress, so sorely missed.
It's a shame that The Rani didn't have more stories in Classic Who. I think the Rani is a fascinating villian and Kate was amazing in the part.
This brought so many feels. I miss Kate and her character The Rani. They should bring back the Rani in her memory. The Doctor Who fandom will keep her memory alive. Rest in peace Kate O'Mara, you will be missed.
She's come back in the audios :)
"I'd like to work with Peter Capaldi, that would be quite good."
But she can't D=
RIP Kate :(
They'll never bring her back, because according to Steven Moffat, 'She's not a memorable character', because to him, that is the only reason to bring a character back, despite the fact that people have been asking for her to return for ages.
tellymad649 'They'll never bring her back, because according to Steven Moffat'
Because Steven is going to run the show forever.
Well, he clearly isn't showing any signs that he's going anytime soon, sadly.
It's such a shame she'll never get her chance to be part of the current series. She was a wonderful actress. I am honored to have two of her stories she was a part of. The Mark of and Time of The Rani. She should've been Missy or at least given a chance to pass her role on to a new actress. Rest in Peace, Kate. We miss you.
It's sad how she really wanted to come back
they all do... It's that kind of show.
dangerouslytalented jo cane back
Alex Robinson
you mean Sarah Jane?
yes
Jo came back for one episode in SJA in which she met the 11th Doctor
Thank you for uploading this! She was brilliant as the Rani and it's great to see more of Kate as she answers the questions. A true Doctor Who legend!
Bless you Kate, you still looked elegant, dramatic and wicked.
Style.
Ali CG Agree. She sang a Finnish song in Finnish the way you just described. /watch?v=K7SA_xUVdNY#t=161

R.I.P Kate O'Mara
personally it's one of my least favourite classic stories, but i can definitely concede that kate o'mara's performance was endearing
In my opinion, it is the absolute worst thing ever written in the entire history of television. Without hyperbole.
Kate O'Mara is great as The Rani though.

Lets not get into that.
Rest in Peace Kate.
She truly was an incredibly actress, and those eyes! wow! She is very much missed.
RIP Kate O'Mara :(
It would be brilliant to bring the Rani back. I wish of course that they had gotten Kate to reprise the role in the new series before her death. RIP
Please have the Rani regenerate! I was kind of hoping Missy was going to end up being the Rani. Kind of sick of The Master now.
She has regenerated. Look up 'The Rani Elite'.
3:15 Awww, it feels so sad when she says that. Rest in peace, Kate O'Mara.
When was this interview recorded?
November 2013, 4 months before she died.
Before we knew who Missy was, I seriously thought she was gonna be the Rani- they need to bring her back
WHAT A SHOW THAT WOULD HAVE MADE- RANI AND MISSY IN THE SAME EPISODE!!
God Bless her what a lovely lady, and a very talented actress
Scientist 😮 Tecteun was like a scientist, I hope she eventually becomes the rani
I'd like to have Big Finish audios with the Rani during the Time War
Ohhhh that's smart
@@cjdoesart ☺️

Kate O'Mara as The Rani and Peter Capaldi as The Doctor was certainly an egregious missed opportunity but somewhat soften by the fact that we got Michelle Gomez as Missy. RIP, Kate. You were brilliant and so truly missed.
Such a shame she's gone I met her a few months before she passed away such a nice funny lady
She died 4 months later after this interview was made R.I.P
RIP. Now it's time to watch some Rani episodes!
Thanks! I was actually able to watch the first part today (busy) and was blown away when I saw the Doctor regenerate. Didn't know that was the first Sylvester McCoy episode.
Excited to watch the rest.
Should have returned for the 50th anniversary.

EVERYONE PLEASE! She has already regenerated in the world of Big Finish!!!!
Rip Kate.
I vouched for the Rani, more than I did for Davros.
Tecteun should eventually become the rani, that would be a great backstory for her of how she was the one who found the only timelord (the doctor) and experimented on her eventually creating all the time lords on galifrey and making herself one in the process as essentially the rani was also created from the same experiments as the master. Yo science 🧬 🧪
I mean sure
"Which I'm not apart of... yet" :(
It would've been great to have her return to the show... :/
On the bright side, we finally have Peter Capaldi in the outro!
I don't think this is going to be a regular outro. Doctor Who has uploaded another video and they've gone back to the Silence outro.
Well,@#$%.
Andrew Chapman I don't remember seeing any Silence?
Wish new who would use the classic villains; The Rani. She would be such a good character and with the New Who way of taking a character and developing them into something which is so fantastic. Like there is so many actresses that would just be a perfect Rani. And it would be a great tribute to Kate O’Mara
Great interview, thank you for sharing it with us.
The person in the crowd staring at Kate O'Mara while s/he has his/her hands down his/her pants is creepy as hell. They're in the same spot the entire video - how did security not notice?
RIP Kate. :(
RIP Kate O'Mara (Shame we can't just regenerate)
This was made a year before Kate’s death
I think the Rani should make an appearance in modern DW one day, and her TARDIS.
Is Capaldi in that chair replacing the Silence at the Doctor Who Experience now?
Oh, it would be awesome to see The Rani back.
I keep looking for myself in the background of these interviews. Were any made on the Sunday?
What a shame they never brought her back in the show. Did hear RTD did think about having the rani in the new series.
The Line I know everybody now is with the modern series is not true I grew up with Nu Who yet 2 of my favourite Doctors are classic and generally prefer the Classics.
They should bring her back
Kate passed away sadly :(
Rest In Peace
Wait what? I thought Kate O'Mara died in 2010??? My entire family did?!
Bless her.
They need to bring back this character already!
I personally think it would be hilarious if The Rani came back to the show as a man since The Master is now a woman. :p Just my two cents. XD
Hilarious and very different as well.
TrueImmortality it's possible you never quite know what you'll get with regeneration
Especially as we now have a female Doctor.
Oh how we should have the Rani in series 9
tell moff
I just can't see another actress portraying the Rani though
oh dear
Mumble5557
Same.
In Rassilon's name! If only she had worked with Peter Capaldi or any of the new Doctors (not the Aus TV series!)
Cuanto talento actoral,ademas de ser hermosa,siempre me impacto.
She won't be able to work with Peter Capaldi tho D=
love the rani, it would of been so much better and wouldve made more sence if they used the rani a disguise of missy
well i have never seen the rani in action but it seems good , maybe would work again
The Rani needs to return with Kate O'Mara in the role and then she regenerates into a younger Rani to be a new advisory for the current Doctor it's time.
Well she's dead so good luck with that idwa
Jack Lewis With computer graphics being as good as they are today, they actually could do that quite easily. Render up some old images of Ms. O'Mara, find some old audio, or maybe even hire a "sound-alike," and BOOM! Reboot Era Rani. :)
Or they could pull a "Colin Baker" and just get someone In a wig
which I'm not part of. yet.
will forever regret not meeting the ultimate bad girl!
When in the doctor time line she appears? which doctor? which season? unfortunatly i don't know her :(
6th doctor season 22 and 7th doctor season 24
She's The Rani she was in with the 6th/7th doctor as a villain sorta like the Master but not
Oh thank you so much!
she died a year prior to this video
I think they will bring back the rani in this season (10th season).
Bring Back The RANI!!!!!
Amazing
I'm confused. When did Kate die? Cause I remember her death being at a date way before this.
March 30th, 2014. This interview was from way back in November 2013 during the 50th Anniversary Celebration at ExCeL I believe.
Wow, what other footage are you sitting on from the 50th Celebration?
...yet.
Would have been nice to see the Rani again/ A lot like Six in general, she was a good character shafted by some dreadful stories on the original series.
Does anyone know why Kate O'Mara died?
It's publicly unclear: papers say "a short illness", which could mean anything. For whatever reason, her doctor(s) and her family have chosen to keep it private.
Ovarian Cancer
Under 301, number 195
Number 247 wooo
Do you think she missy she regenerate to missy missy pretend to be a master
Such a shame they really missed their opportunity to bring her back before she passed away. They could've easily brought her back as fan service before giving her a regeneration scene!
RIP Kate O Mara :( while Time and the Rani was probaly the worst thing Ive seen she gave a great performance with some of the most cringe worthy and pantomime lines ever her cemetery with Mcoy was great even with the awful script.
