Teenage Crushes - Part TwoFreddie Woo writes: I've still got weird feelings for a well-known female TV presenter from the 1980s. I'm now in my forties, work in the same building as her and she follows me on a number of social networking sites. And now, she knows about it.
Tell us about the teenage crushes that still make you go wobbly.

I expect I'll have a few of these this weekand this one's probably more of a pre-teen crush, but anyhoo: Katy Manning, who played Jo Grant in the Jon Pertwee-era Dr Who.
Now these were originally broadcast long before I was born, but the BBC had the foresight to release them on VHS. And, watching my VHS copy of Day of the Daleks, I seem to remember being too young to fully understand the plot, and too young to really understand why I seemed to be so fond of the Doctor's petite, blonde, female companion.
I found that tape, with a few others, back at my folks' house recently and re-watched it. In hindsight, her acting's pretty terrible, but her skirt is very, very short, and I'm fairly sure there's at least one shot where you can see her knickers. (At least, I'm sure it's not just me fantasising that they were red...)

Lol, she caused a few pre-teen stirrings in me too!
