Paul Darrow

We will encounter the replacement for one of those rejected scripts next time, though.

Now, the other story behind this one, and we've sort of touched on the Moloch puppet already, the cast and crew actually found the puppet totally ridiculous when it was unveiled and all fell about laughing at its appearance, to the point that Paul Darrow, when delivering his, yes.

that is how i reasoned you would look apparently couldn't do it without corpsing and blew several takes while he and all the others burst out laughing they thought it looked like sort of a plucked chicken basically the problem with that was that unfortunately inside the tube thing that moloch sits on top of was poor deep roy who'd been stuffed in there to operate the puppet now he unfortunately had quite badly injured himself.

He had a broken collarbone during the location filming for Terminal, which we'll obviously get to in a couple of episodes.

Another wonderful line.

I mean, Paul Darrow just gets the best

one-liners, doesn't he? That line is from another movie.

That's actually from The Magnificent Seven.

Michael Keating.

Paul Darrow.

Yeah, true.

Where did I start? That's just a given every week.

But yeah, apart from we sort of conceptual niggles like that, I think you're so wrapped up in it and the momentum of it that it's, you know, you just can't help but love the thing.

I think that's pretty much all the things I have to say about it, except just, yeah, what a way to end it.

What a way to end a season and it is, as you were saying, Gareth, a handing over of the torch into what will be, what hopefully will still, when I revisit it, be my favourite half of the overall show when Paul Darrow takes over and it goes to new heights of extraordinariness in all sorts of ways.

So, yeah, looking forward to that.

I, I started to go down the same, uh, z- the same, uh, thought experiment route, particularly, uh, when there was some, um, a bit of dialogue that I just thought was so arch it was straight out of a Carry On film.

And then I'm thinking if we'd had Paul Darrow is the sole saving grace of "Time Lash" in many ways.

If, if, if you'd had someone really boring playing that role in "Time Lash" it would be, it would be e- even more un- it would be truly unbearable.

Uh, so I started thinking Kenneth Will- the two, we've got the two S- Asquivar and Abatan.

Most people depart with a scream.

They sure do, Paul Darrow, from the episode Timelash, which where we look back at the week that was.

This, of course, is the thing that we started doing again because we feared that Doctor Who would be out of the news for a whole year.

And so we needed to fill the time somehow.
