The BFI database lists another Mary Maxted (MM's married name) active between 1985 and 1994. Might this be the Doctor Who actress rather than "our" Mary?

You seem to have misread the post.

"After months of internet rumour and gossip, the BBC finally revealed in October that nine hitherto presumed ’lost’ episodes of Doctor Who had been re-discovered, gathering dust in a storeroom at a TV station in Nigeria. The two Patrick Troughton stories – The Enemy of the World and The Web of Web (sic) – had been unseen for 45 years, but within hours of the restored episodes being released commercially they had leapt to #1 in the iTunes chart around the world. And Doctor Who fans across the globe are being teased that more is yet to come.

Obviously an announcement of ‘new’ Mary Millington footage isn’t going to set the world alight like the Doctor Who treasures but, for me personally, seeing any previously-thought-lost archive of Mary in action is a thrilling prospect ... In the past few months I’ve made two major Mary discoveries – the first of which I’m going to exclusively write about here. What’s more, I didn’t have to travel as far as Nigeria to retrieve it. I only had to go to Leeds.
... there is one solitary instance when Mary did appear on tea-time telly, presented to a ‘family audience’."

He isn't saying that Mary appeared in Dr Who, he's just comparing the re-discovery of old Dr Who episodes with his own finding of Mary's short TV appearance on "Calendar" back in 1978.

Sorry to disappoint you but nowhere does he say Mary appeared in Dr Who (or on any TV show apart from this one instance)

In fact, there have been claims that Mary appeared in the Doctor Who story "The Talons of Weng-Chiang", as an extra. This is the story I thought you may be referring to, hence my reply about the "other" Mary Maxted.
