Remember that he had originally met the Doctor in the guise of Patrick Troughton when the Yeti invaded London (he was a 2nd Lieutenant then, if memory serves). After I've seen the show or checked up in my "Dr Who - a Celebration" I will retract if necessary. Re NJN's claim to be first with these episodes: I had heard earlier that Lionheart only just got hold of these episodes (I think the BBC copyright had expired and they had to renew it (or something) so they couldn't sell them before). Whether these stories are true I don't know, I'm just reporting... "Celebration" says that some master prints were deliberately destroyed when the copyright expired, but that later on the Beeb went round searching for extra copies to sell them. Perhaps English Law changed so that copyright didn't expire after five or ten years? Does anyone remember which story had the Doctor trapped inside the Tardis while the Daleks outside were raying it trying to get in? Then a time-accelerator bomb went off but of course it didn't effect the Tardis and the Universe was saved (again). Bring back the Mechanoids! Jonathan Clark [NAC]!hou5g!jhc
