"A lot of my growing up, a lot of the input into those very important years to me as an actress came from Jon and Roger my actual mentors, were these two men and they were as important to me as my own father, and that meant so much to me, because I lost my father and so I had these two people who supported me, who cared and believed in me as an actress" - Katy Manning

There are absolutely no parallels with the Master. None.

I do love the way Roger very occasionally showed up his Cockney origins.

(Also, random person yawning in the background is amusing me.)

Oh, go on, have a trailer…

Yeah, there’s a trailer for that too.

I don’t have time to post much original content yet, but let’s get the ball rolling with some Delgado.

Don’t mind me, I’ll just be in the corner sobbing.

Of course you are, dear!

“Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.”  ― H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds
