Don't worry - only one more entry for this story to go

I was surprised how small Ingrid Pitt's film and television-ography was. I was expecting it to be huge, but it's tiny compared to some of the other people who have appeared in the show

She's fairly unknown to mainstream audiences. Where Eagles Dare being her claim to fame, but of course we know better.

From what i'm aware it was her voice and accent which meant she didn't get parts in the UK and US. She was overdubbed more often than not, even in her starring role in the decidedly average Countess Dracula. That film could be another reason why she remained unknown.

Same goes for Ursula Andress - Always had to be overdubbed.

Oh and nos42 - The Time Monster. You aren't missing out having not seen it. In my opinion it's Pertwee's worst story.

I've nearly finished watching the third season, the second with David Tennant as the Doctor (I have the two-part Utopia and The Sound of Drums to watch this evening), and have enjoyed many episodes. The last one I saw, Blink, was a highly engaging and smart piece of science-fiction storytelling.

I can understand why it's such a popular show which was watched by millions of people, though I am pleased there won't be many more episodes with Daleks – they are very irritating!

You wouldn't find Daleks irritating if you'd been scared out of your wits by Destiny of the Daleks as a child.

Pleased that for the most part you've enjoyed it, Nos.
