Random Doctor Who Picture(s)

The recording of "Doctor in Distress" (from the back of DWM 101) because, obviously, if an idea is appropriate for raising money for the starving in Ethiopia it is equally appropriate for protesting BBC decisions about which shows it wants to make.

A distasteful episode which made all concerned look silly, and then point fingers at each other saying it was someone else's idea.

I have sympathy with Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant and Anthony Ainley all of whom, presumably, were asked specifically by JNT to take part.

What bemuses me slightly is the pre-eminence given to Faith Brown in all the publicity (presumably at JNT's behest) who I had not heard of at the time, and haven't since, compared to members of Bucks Fizz and Ultravox who I was aware of.

But yes, sympathy for regular cast members aside. It makes everyone who participated entirely voluntarily look silly.

I should have been more specific about the finger-pointing - I was largely thinking of the instigators. The Faith Brown angle is interesting - I'd not thought about it but you are right; she came from the area of LE with which JN-T was most comfortable, I think.
