Fact: Doctor Who was responsible for the BBC's first merchandising boom!
Yes but not with the TARDIS Tuner.

I remember that strip / ad. Turgid summed up the Tuner quite aptly.

Going off the strip it seems Romana regenerated into someone else prior to becoming the Astra look a like. Because that doesn't look remotely like Mary Tamm or Lala Ward. It amuses that she nods off when the Doctor is showing off his toy.
