"This is Enlightenment. ... And this is Persuasion", "Friendly, I hope", Monarch and the Doctor, "Four to Doomsday" There's a lot of wandering around in these episodes so far - but on the other hand I think it's one of the few stories with a "Choreographer" credit so that's fun for people who are into dance. My mind goes back to Roslyn De Winter who designed the insect movements in "The Web Planet" but this story clearly has a "dance" choreographer. This was Peter's first filmed story. The usual explanation is that they filmed so Peter could get used to his character and would be better prepared for the post-regeneration crisis in "Castrovalva". But, I believe that another script was shelved at the last moment and that "Castrovalva" hadn't been written yet, so that could explain it too. BTW: We find out that Tegan was originally trying to catch a flight on 28 February 1981 - which was the actual date when Part one of Logopolis was broadcast. I am reminded of the 11th Doctor's "The Big Bang" story which was set on the day that it was broadcast. I have been really looking forward to your reaction to Tegan's fashion drawing and the creation of Persuasion and Enlightenment from it. And what a great reaction! Tegan gets a key! Rose had to wait for her 4th story, Martha on her 7th, and Donna on her 4th (or 5th depending on whether she was a full companion in "The Runaway Bride"). Did Amy get ever a key? Clara took several seasons and River was, well, a special case. Lovely to see Burt Kwouk in a Who. He was most famously in the original Pink Panther films and was also in a James Bond. He was a regular in some of the later "Last of the Summer Wine" seasons. But, I remember him as the Commandant in "Tenko" (also staring Louise Jameson - our Leela). Re: Tegan knowing the Aboriginal dialogue. Janet requested that the writer consult with the BBC language department to get the language correct. That's really nice.
