July's Figurines

Three new figurines to add to the collection this month. The extra one is the fourth of the subscription-only special Daleks. This is Dalek Sec. Not much to say about him, as he is obviously just one of the standard bronze ones with a black paint job.
The other two figures are both from the Seventh Doctor era - namely the Doctor himself and the Davros / Dalek Emperor from Remembrance of the Daleks.
The first is a very good likeness of Sylvester McCoy. The accompanying magazine covers his first series story Delta and the Bannermen. At first glance I thought the figure a bit too tall in comparison with the other Doctors, but then I noticed that his hexagonal base is slightly higher than usual.
As Remembrance was already covered in another issue, the magazine accompanying Emperor Davros chooses to look at Dalek incursions in Earth's history.
Whilst I loved Terry Molloy's vocal performance as Davros, I was never enamoured of that 80's mask. Just compared this new figure with the Julian Bleach Davros figurine, and the Molloy one looks quite crude and lumpy.
The next confirmed release will be a Handbot, from The Girl Who Waited. Sadly not the Rorybot...

Know Your Cybermen - Cyberwoman

TW: Cyberwoman (2006).
There was one Cyber-survivor from the Battle of Canary Wharf - Ianto Jones' girlfriend Lisa Hallett. He deliberately ingratiated himself with Captain Jack Harkness in order to get employment at Torchwood Cardiff. Once in place, he smuggled Lisa into the lower levels, and set about finding a way of returning her to normal. For Lisa had been partially converted into a Cyberman. Much of her body had been converted, and her mind had been conditioned. As such, she even killed the surgeon whom Ianto had employed to save her. Lisa spent much of her time dormant, lying in a Cyber-Conversion unit. When this began to drain the power from the Hub, it alerted the others to what Ianto was up to. Lisa broke out and ran amok within the Hub. At one point she killed Jack with an electrical discharge, but of course he could come back to life. Throwing BBQ sauce over her made her a target for the Pterosaur which lived in the Hub. Eventually, Lisa had her brain transplanted into a woman who had come to deliver pizza. Ianto had been ordered to destroy her, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Lisa was shot dead by the rest of the team.
It is claimed that the Cybermen started to make such conversions once the Daleks attacked during the battle, which seems odd as simply inserting the brain directly into a Cyber-form was such a speedy process. Perhaps they had run out of complete bodies.
One also has to wonder how Ianto got her and the conversion unit out of the Tower without anyone spotting them, and where did he keep them before getting his job in Cardiff.

Story Notes:

• This was the fourth episode of the first series of Torchwood. It was written by chief writer Chris Chibnall. Whilst there are Doctor Who references throughout the series, this is the most blatant tie in with the parent programme - being a sequel of sorts to Army of Ghosts / Doomsday.
• Being post-watershed, the body horror quotient is raised, and the Cyberwoman costume is highly fetishised.
• Fans quickly showed their displeasure at this episode. They didn't like the sexualised outfit, thought the plot poor, and wanted Torchwood to concentrate on more original stories. The first series was a bit all over the place. Jack had lost his humour, the others were not particularly likeable, and tonally it looked like the writers did not know where they wanted the series to go.
• Lisa is played by Caroline Chikezie. She subsequently made a couple of appearances in the long-running US series Supernatural. 
• We get to see Ianto's efforts to ingratiate himself with Jack in the Series 2 episode Exit Wounds, where four of the team have flashbacks to how they came to join up.

Series 9 Trailer

10.30pm GMT and the BBC release the first trailer for Series 9. A lot of the images seem to come from the same episode - featuring as they do the same arched corridor.

Our first confirmation that the Daleks are back - apparently a whole city of them. There is going to be new alien race called The Mire.

Also an adventure set under the sea - probably where that corridor comes in as we see it flooded with water. A number of people with blacked out eyes.

There's a big battle sequence that certainly wasn't filmed anywhere near Cardiff - presumably the Lanzarote filming for the opening two-parter.

The chap above appears to be wearing a crown, so presumably this is Odin from the Viking-era episodes.

The Zygon story is described as "a global Zygon uprising".

And what are we to make of Maisie's appearance. The Doctor obviously knows who she is. Has Moffat finally got round to using Jenny from The Doctor's Daughter? He did ask RTD not to kill off the character. If it is indeed her, it would tie in with other things we have heard about the new series - especially why he chose the new face he did. What was so special about Caecilius? He was simply a husband - and a father. A family man...
And the Twelfth Doctor gets to play the Rock Star...
Roll on September 19th.

Story 133 - Resurrection of the Daleks

In which the TARDIS has been caught in a time corridor and is hurtling out of control. The Doctor is able to manoeuvre the ship out of the corridor but is continuing to travel parallel to it so they can discover where it leads to. Their destination proves to be the south bank of the Thames, near Tower Bridge. It is 1984. This area is full of derelict warehouses. Prior to their arrival, a group of strangely dressed humans had appeared out of nowhere - followed soon after by three men wearing police uniforms. The policemen shoot dead the others, as well as an unfortunate onlooker, before vanishing. However, two of the original group have escaped - the cowardly Stien and his friend Galloway. Galloway is killed soon after. The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough find Stien, and learn he has come from the future. He has escaped from the Daleks.
In deep space, in the far future, the crew of a prison station come under attack. The prison is antiquated and its defences are soon destroyed. There is only one prisoner on board, but an attempt to kill him before their attackers can board fails. A new young crew member named Mercer finds himself the most senior officer left alive, along with chief medic Styles and a handful of others. They try to stop their attackers from boarding. These prove to be Daleks. The first assault fails, but then humans wearing Dalek-style helmets use a toxic gas to kill most of the defenders. A second assault sees the Daleks and these human mercenaries access the prison.

In command of the mercenary force is Lytton, an alien from Riftan 5. He leads a party to where the prisoner is being held in cryogenic suspension. This is Davros. He has been captive for 80 years, ever since he was captured by the Doctor on Skaro. He is reanimated. Lytton and the Dalek Supreme, who is on the attacking craft, want him to leave with them immediately, but Davros refuses. He maintains that he may need to re-enter cryogenic suspension at any time, should his life support systems fail. He discovers that the Daleks have been defeated by the Movellans in their long-running war - after the Movellans developed a virus that attacks their insulation. The Daleks want Davros to find a defence against this virus. Davros insists on a lab being set up on the prison station.
In 1984, the Doctor and his companions have encountered an army bomb disposal squad led by Colonel Archer, who is accompanied by a scientist named Laird. Strange blue cylinders have been found in one of the warehouses which were at first thought to be WW2 bombs. These are actually containers of the Movellan virus, hidden here by the Daleks at the end of their time corridor - which stretches from London 1984 to their ship in the far future. It was designed to trap the Doctor. Exploring on his own, Turlough stumbles into the corridor and finds himself on the Dalek ship. He passes through to the prison station where he meets Styles and Mercer. The Doctor and Stien follow Turlough but once they have reached the Dalek ship it is revealed that Stien is really one of Lytton's mercenaries. He is a Replicant - a product of Dalek genetic engineering.

The Daleks intend to drain the Doctor's memories and implant them into a Replicant, which will be sent to Gallifrey to assassinate the High Council of Time Lords. There are Replicants of Tegan and Turlough prepared also. Stien's original memories begin to surface, and the Doctor is able to help him control the Dalek conditioning - at least temporarily. He frees him. Learning of Davros' presence on the station, the Doctor decides that he has no course open to him but to kill him. Styles, meanwhile, has managed to get to the station's self-destruct mechanism, but is struggling to work out how it operates. When Lytton discovers this, he sends a squad to stop her. Davros has plans of his own. He knows that the Daleks will turn on him as soon as he has helped them, so he begins to recondition a number of mercenaries and Daleks to obey only him. They will fetch the Movellan virus from 20th Century Earth, which he can then use as a weapon.
In London, Tegan and Professor Laird find themselves prisoners when the Daleks replace the bomb disposal squad with Replicants. Styles is killed before she can complete the final arming sequence on the self-destruct. Mercer is killed when Stien's conditioning slips. The Doctor finds that, face to face, he cannot bring himself to kill Davros.
A conflict breaks out between the Daleks and mercenaries loyal to the Supreme, and those loyal to Davros. The Doctor decides to use the virus to destroy both factions. He and his companions return to 20th Century Earth, whilst a wounded Stien goes to the self-destruct chamber.
Before he can flee the station in an escape pod, Davros discovers that the Movellan virus affects him as well...
The Daleks and mercenaries are destroyed on Earth - either killing each other or being killed by the virus which the Doctor releases. Lytton manages to escape, along with his two colleagues who are still dressed as policemen. They vanish into the city. Stien destroys the station, along with the Dalek ship which was still docked alongside.
Sickened by all of the death she has just witnessed, Tegan decides to leave the TARDIS.

This two part adventure was written by Eric Saward, and was broadcast between 8th and 15th February, 1984. It is significant for the return of the Daleks and Davros, after a 5 year absence, and for writing out Janet Fielding as Tegan.
The story was broadcast as two 45 minute episodes rather than the usual 4 x 25 minutes due to the BBC coverage of that year's Winter Olympics.
A story called 'Warhead' or 'The Return' featuring the Daleks had been planned for the previous season, but industrial action had resulted in that having to be postponed. It was always going to be written by script editor Saward, who had arranged that he would be able to write it in a gap between contracts - to get round the ban on script editors commissioning themselves. This is the first Dalek story not to be written by Terry Nation since Day of the Daleks back in 1972. Nation had to approve the script, and he insisted that Davros be included - which Saward intended anyway. He vetoed Davros' death and the inclusion of the Emperor Dalek.
There are a couple of nods to earlier Dalek serials in the names of the characters Styles and Galloway, and it links directly back to the last story (Destiny of the Daleks) - with references to Davros' capture and the Movellans.
Had the BBC strikes in 1983 not intervened, Michael Wisher was lined up to reprise the role of Davros. As it was, he was now touring with a play in Australia, so noted radio actor Terry Molloy was brought on board. He would play Davros through to the end of the Classic Series, as well as on a number of subsequent audio adventures. A totally new mask was created for him, considerably different from Wisher's one.

Joining him in the cast were Rula Lenska (best known for Rock Follies and a number of Euston film series) as Styles, and Likely Lad Rodney Bewes as Stien. Considering she is one of the two principal guest artistes, Lenska has no scenes with Peter Davison's Doctor. Playing Lytton in the first of two appearances in the programme is Maurice Colborne. Mercer is played by Jim Findlay, Archer is Del Henney, and Prof. Laird is Playschool stalwart Chloe Ashcroft. In a minor role, playing Kiston - a mercenary who is taken over by Davros - is Leslie Grantham. As a young man in the army he had been imprisoned after killing a taxi driver whilst stationed in Germany. Louise Jameson had taught drama to prisoners, and Grantham was one of her pupils. He would soon find fame and notoriety of a different sort as pub landlord "Dirty" Den Watts in Eastenders - who gets a mention in The Army of Ghosts.
Episode endings are:

1. Arriving on the Dalek ship via the time corridor, the Doctor is confronted by Daleks - and Stien reveals he is one their agents...
2. Having said a bitter farewell to the Doctor and Turlough, Tegan runs out of the warehouse. She returns a few moments later, to see the TARDIS dematerialise. Nearby, three policemen walk nonchalantly off into the city...

Overall, this story is a bit of a mess. Popular, but still a bit of a mess. There are too many disconnected plot points going on - as thought two stories are running side by side. Many of the major characters never interact. The whole "Replicant Doctor will assassinate the High Council" is just one sub-plot too many - though it does allow us a nice archive clip-fest of old companions. It is pretty violent as well. 

Things you might like to know:

• That high body count - more than in The Terminator. It's not just the number of people killed. In the opening moments an innocent old man gets gunned down, after a whole load of unarmed people have been shot. Then the victims of the Dalek toxin are depicted in a really gruesome manner.
• And a couple of the deaths are rather funny - unintentionally. Chloe Ashcroft is no great actor, so overdoes hers. Del Henney and Philip McGough (as Sgt Calder) attempt to outdo each other in histrionics as they are exterminated. Watch and you'll see neither intends to drop to the floor first.
• The director for this story is Matthew Robinson. Had the story been produced for the previous season it would have been Peter Grimwade. He invited the personnel that had worked on the abandoned production out for meal - and neglected to include producer John Nathan-Turner. Always one to bear a grudge, the slighted JNT never employed Grimwade as director on the show again, though he had already committed himself to using one of his scripts.
• Lis Sladen's husband, Brian Miller, makes his second appearance in the programme - providing some of the Dalek voices.
• One of Mercer's crew-mates is Sneh Gupta (playing Osborn). She was famous for being one of the "set dressings" on the notoriously cheap Anglian TV quiz show Sale of the Century (hosted by Nicholas "Bloody" Parsons. She was one of those ladies who draped themselves over and "fondled" the prizes, in a vain attempt to make them more alluring.
• Whilst broadcast as two episodes, it was written as four. The missing part one cliffhanger would have been when a Dalek materialised in the warehouse threatening to exterminate everyone, and the missing part three cliffhanger would have been Davros doing a bit of ranting.
• When broadcast in the US the second half was not dubbed properly, with missing music and sound effects cues.
• Much has been made of the fact that Leela does not appear in the sequence where the Doctor's memories are being drained. All the other companions are shown. Some have speculated that this was deliberate on the Doctor's part - shielding her from the Daleks as she is living on Gallifrey, and might be able to defeat the Replicant assassins.
• It has been reported that had this story been made for the previous season, following directly from The King's Demons, Kamelion would have taken the Stien role. It would have fallen under Dalek influence, with the Doctor having to assert his will over it, and it would have sacrificed itself to destroy the prison ship / Daleks - thus writing it out as it was already known to be unworkable as a regular character.
• If you have read my post "Know Your Daleks - Miscellany" you might actually believe the Dalek-shaped helmets were one of the Cult of Skaro's less successful ideas... Had JNT seen them earlier, he would have vetoed them.
• And so we bid farewell to Janet Fielding as the ever so annoying but ever so popular Tegan. She would not go far from the series, despite being extremely vocal about the sexist elements of the programme. She returns in the Jim'll Fix It segment known as A Fix With The Sontarans, took part in a nationwide bus tour of the USA promoting the series, and came in to act alongside those auditioning to become the Seventh Doctor. She was also Paul McGann's agent. More recently she has reprised the role of Tegan for Big Finish. Inevitably, one of the first things she had to do was be possessed by the Mara - again. She is heavily involved with a charity called Project Motormouth - which has run some wonderful Doctor Who conventions. Details can be found here: http://projectmotormouth.org.uk/. 
• She's also had a personal battle with cancer. Braveheart Janet...

TARDIS Travels No.29

The Doctor has no sooner said farewell to Rose Tyler when Donna Noble suddenly appears in the TARDIS - in her wedding dress.
Journey 443: Unknown region of space, 2007, to London, 24th December, 2007.
Presumably the ship is in the same time zone when the Huon Particles within Donna attract her to it. These particles no longer exist in the universe - except within a TARDIS. Determined not to miss her wedding Donna has the Doctor take her back to London. They are a few miles from Chiswick where the wedding was about to take place. The Doctor doesn't know about the Huon Particles yet - but the TARDIS is clearly affected by their presence.

Journey 444: London, unknown district, to the City via M4 Motorway - 24th December, 2007.
After Donna makes the mistake of getting into a taxi driven by a Robot Santa, the TARDIS travels in real space / time to the motorway to effect a rescue. It then takes the Doctor and Donna to the roof of an office block on the western edge of the City of London.

Journey 445: City of London to Chiswick, 24th December, 2007.
The Doctor takes Donna to her wedding reception - which is still taking place despite there having been no marriage. We do not see where it materialises.
The Doctor, Donna and Lance travel to HC Clements very slowly by car (as seen in a very funny deleted scene).

Journey 446: Chiswick to East London (Thames Barrier), 24th December, 2007.
Not a conventional journey by any means. In the same way the Huon Particles within Donna attracted her into the TARDIS, they do the same to bring the ship to her, at the Torchwood facility built beneath the Thames Flood Barrier.

Journey 447: Torchwood facility, East London, 2007, to birth of the Earth, 4.5 billion years ago.
The Doctor and Donna travel back to the origins of the Earth to find out what the Racnoss buried at the centre of the planet. It transpires that the planet formed around a Racnoss Webstar.

Journey 448: Solar System, 4.5 billion years ago, to Torchwood facility, East London, 24th December, 2007.
The Doctor uses the Extrapolator, in its final appearance, to make sure the TARDIS lands some distance away from the Racnoss Queen.

Journey 449: Torchwood facility, East London, to Chiswick, 24th December, 2007.
Donna asks the Doctor in for Christmas dinner - though it ought still to be the same night as the wedding - Christmas Eve. The TARDIS is able to fire a flare into the sky which creates its own mini weather system. The switch is just above the door, and the flare emerges from the roof light.

Journey 450: Chiswick, 24th December, 2007, to Lambeth, May 2008.
The Doctor parks the TARDIS outside the Royal Hope Hospital on London's Albert Embankment -across the Thames from the Houses of Parliament. We know the rough date as a General Election is imminent.

Journey 451: Lambeth to unknown district of London, May 2008.
The TARDIS materialises in an alley near the pub where Martha's family have gathered to celebrate her brother's birthday.

Journeys 452 & 453: London - same day.
The Doctor pops back to that morning to prove to Martha that the TARDIS is a time machine.

Journey 454: London, May, 2008, to London, Southwark, 1599.
The Doctor takes Martha back to Elizabethan Bankside, materialising near the Globe Theatre.

Journey 455: London, 1599, to New New York, New Earth, 5,000,000,053.
The Doctor next takes Martha to New New York, arriving in the squalid Pharmacy Town district. It is 30 years since he last visited. An arrow fired into the ship by one of Queen Elizabeth's bodyguards survives the journey.

Journey 456: New New York, 5,000,000,053, to New York, 1931.
After the new version, the original. The TARDIS materialises at the foot of the Statue of Liberty. A newspaper states that it is November 1st.

Journey 457: New York, November 1931, to London, May 2008.
Martha is less than pleased to find that the Doctor has brought her home to her flat, the morning after she first traveled with him.
Journeys 458 & 459: The Doctor leaves, but returns immediately because of something he heard Professor Lazarus say on TV.

Journey 460: London, 2008, to SS Pentallian, Torajii System, 4108.
The TARDIS becomes trapped in a chamber due to extremely high temperatures, as the spaceship is spiraling towards the nearby sun.

Journey 461: SS Pentallian, 4108 to unknown planet, date unknown.
The Doctor and Martha encounter the Family of Blood at an unknown location.
Journey 462: Date and location unknown to England, November 1913.
The TARDIS is left dormant in a barn after the Doctor uses the Chameleon Arch to become human. The Arch is in the console room, descending from the ceiling.
The school where he works as John Smith is called Farringham, so this may be the name of the village. Father of Mine moves the ship to the school after its location is discovered.

Journey 463: England 1913 to date and location unknown.
The Doctor takes Mother of Mine and leaves her suspended on the edge of a Black Hole. We do not know exactly where Father and Daughter of Mine were imprisoned - may have been within the TARDIS itself.

Journey 464: Date and location unknown to England, November, 1913.
The Doctor sets up Son of Mine as a scarecrow, and he and Martha bid farewell to Tim Latimer.

Journey 465: England November 1913 to England November 2008.
The Doctor and Martha witness the elderly Tim Latimer attending a Remembrance Day ceremony.

Journey 466: England 2008, to London, 2009.
The Doctor and Martha are hunting for an alien when they meet Sally Sparrow who gives them a file of information they will need shortly. It is a year after the subsequent events. This appears to be suburban London - judging from something Kathy Nightingale will say.

Journey 467: London 2009, to London, 2008.
The TARDIS arrives at an old house named Wester Drumlins. The Doctor and Martha are sent back to 1969 by the Weeping Angels. The TARDIS is found by the police and moved to the police station, but the Angels move it back to the house.
Journey 468: London 2008 to 1969.
A control disc inserted into the control console sends the TARDIS back to 1969 to be reunited with the Doctor and Martha.

Journey 469: London 1969, to Cardiff, May 2008.
The Doctor decides to refuel the TARDIS from the Rift running through Cardiff. He spots Captain Jack running towards the ship and makes a hasty retreat.

Journey 470: Cardiff, 2008, to Malcassairo, year 100 Trillion.
Jack jumps onto the TARDIS shell and his presence causes the ship to hurtle forward to the end of the Universe. This proves fatal to Jack, but then he just happens to be immortal. The TARDIS is later found by a patrol and moved to Professor Yana's laboratory.

Journeys 471 - 473: Malcassairo, 100 Trillion, to Earth 2006. Earth 2006 to Utopia, 100 Trillion. Then Utopia 100 Trillion to Earth 2006.
Three known journeys for the Master in the stolen TARDIS. However, we do not know how many times he popped back and forth. The ship can only travel between 100 Trillion and 2006 as the Doctor managed to lock the controls. The ship is eventually transformed into a Paradox Engine and stored in the UNIT vessel Valiant.

Journey 474: Valiant to London, May 2008.
The Doctor takes Martha to her family home, and she decides to stay behind to look after them - and track down Tom Milligan - a doctor who might actually notice and return her affections.

Know Your Cybermen No.12

Army of Ghosts / Doomsday (2006).
In a way it is part two to Rise of the Cybermen / Age of Steel. These are the same Cybus Cybermen that we saw half a series ago. We saw the London army destroyed, but mention was made of other Lumic factories across the globe where other Cybermen would be waiting to emerge. (There is no mention of Cybermen anywhere other than London being activated). Mickey and Jake were last seen heading off to France to deal with the Cybermen there.
From what we can gather from this new story, the Cybermen were sealed in their factories whilst an ethical debate raged over what to do with them. Then, it was found that they had all vanished. Somehow they have managed to find a way of crossing over to this Earth, travelling through the Void between universes, thanks to a passing Void Ship. They followed it. The activities of Torchwood London allowed them to partially break through into this world, though a couple managed to get through fully. They hid themselves within Torchwood Tower and they are tasked with partially converting some of the personnel. These staff members will open the Void fully and allow the whole Cyber force to come through.
The only design difference is the built-in weaponry in their right arms. This can disable Daleks momentarily, but not destroy them. The Cybermen are susceptible to Dalek firepower, however. The parallel Torchwood have developed weapons that are also effective against them.
The Cyber-Leader is reintroduced - once again denoted by black handlebars on the helmet. We learn what we have always thought - that the knowledge and memories of a Cyber-Leader are downloaded into a new unit when it is destroyed.
These Cybermen are all sucked back into the Void when it is reopened - unable to return to the parallel Earth.

Story Notes:

• As mentioned above, this forms the second half of an epic four part Cyber-story. Both pairs of episodes were filmed back to back under the direction of Graeme Harper. This is the earliest a series finale has been filmed, so added to the pressures of maintaining secrecy.
• Two clues were available to fans that the Cybermen would be back for the finale - a clip in a trailer showing a Cyberman lurking behind plastic sheeting, which did not appear in the first two episodes, and a photo of Neil Gorton's studio in the Radio Times - with a Cyber-Leader helmet sitting on the shelf behind him.
• We also knew that the Daleks were back as one of the props was used at the BAFTAs awards ceremony. Unfortunately they used the black painted Dalek Sec one.
• When I first visited Cardiff Bay I was able to walk over the bridge where the battle sequence early in Doomsday was filmed. It has since been replaced with a trendy new one. You cross it on your way to the Doctor Who Experience. 
• Producer Phil Cillinson wanted Mickey to be the one who saved Rose at the last minute, as this would finally dispel the "Mickey the Idiot" thing. Julie Gardner opted for it being Pete - showing that he accepted her as his daughter (even though she wasn't).
• Rose being sucked into the Void was a combination of wire work - and being wheeled along on a tea trolly.
• When one of the Cyberman extras failed to turn up, concept artist Peter McKinstry got to play the part - being the right height for the costume.
• Dalek Jast was originally going to be called Rabe - but it sounded too much like Ray.

"subtle tributes to the 60's" - and Edward Burnham

Apologies if you have been waiting patiently for the 12th installment of my Cyber-Odyssey. I was going to post it tonight but I spent so much time documenting the history of London Underground's District Line on my other blog that I ran out of time.
One thing I would just like to mention is something Peter Capaldi said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly - prior to his appearance at San Diego's Comic-Con. When asked about the two-part Series 9 finale - to be directed by Rachel Talalay - he said it contained those subtle tributes to the 1960's? Presumably 60's Doctor Who, as opposed to the decade in general.
Will be interesting to see how subtle these references are.

Also just like to mark the passing of actor Edward Burnham, who appeared twice in the series - playing scientists of varying eccentricity both times. He was Prof Watkins in The Invasion in 1968, and Prof Kettlewell in Robot, in 1974/5. He died on Tuesday 30th June, 2015, at the grand old age of 98. If you have seen his appearances on the DVD extras for both stories, you'll know he was a bit like Kettlewell in real life.
