Matt ToffoloGuestAndrew TealGuestShaneHostso obviously um just a little bit of info obviously the the episodes of these figures are based from uh from season seven uh the solarians which was first broadcast on the 31st of january 1970 just a couple of years ago and the last episode was on the 14th of march 1970.
And a little fun fact that I was reading, six Silurian costumes were made for the story, apparently.
And episode one was $8.8 million and averaged over $7 million for the remainder of those episodes, being the seven-parter.
Pretty impressive.

yeah
Yeah, and so with Inferno, that was first broadcast on the 9th of May 1970 and finished off on the 20th of June 1970.
Written by Don Horton, produced by Barry Letts and directed by the wonderful Dougie Canfield.
