After a four year absence, Davros made his return today in 1979, in the second episode of Destiny of the Daleks. With Michael Wisher unavailable, David Gooderson stepped in (or, rather, sat down) to portray the evil Kaled scientist.
In 2012 the Doctor and his companions encountered Dinosaurs On A Spaceship. This set the Silurians up as a space-going race - which totally undermined the whole point of their having to hibernate on Earth, as established by their creator Malcolm Hulke.
Torchwood: Miracle Day was nearing its conclusion today in 2011. Its penultimate episode was entitled The Gathering.
Today we remember actor Ray Barrett, who played Bennett / Koquillion in The Rescue. He died in 2009 aged 82. Among his other genre roles were numerous voices for Gerry Anderson series - including Commander Shore and King Titan in Stingray, and John Tracey and the Hood in Thunderbirds. He was also the male lead in one of my favourite Hammer films - The Reptile.
