Well I am getting on and my memory has often been accused of
being faulty, but I am sure that it was Nicholas Courtney in
the shot with Jon Pertwee. 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!
