'Arry looks bored because he is only qualified to work on sailors... and not Sarah's or Sontarans!

I thought they looked bored purely because it's The Sontaran Experiment. It bores me.

I saw Ian Marter in a film last night. He had a very brief role as a plain clothes policeman. He approaches Michael Byrne in the street and tells him the chief (Harry Andrews) wants to see him, points across the street to Andrews in a car and then he's gone for good.

The film in question was The Medusa Touch. A film where pretty much everyone is played by a well known face. Even the lesser roles such as 'policeman in street'. Although he's incorrectly listed as Ian Masters.

Could be worse i guess, he could have been listed as James Stoker, Neil Toynay or Leon Ny Taiy.

[Susan Foreman]

As much as we love him...

The bored looks of Ian Marter:

'The abominable Doctor Phibes' (1971)

'Doctor Who: The Ark In Space' (1975)

'The Medusa Touch' (1978)

'Sherlock Holmes: The Musgrave Ritual'

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

He wasn't bored in The Medusa Touch. He put his all into his single six second scene.
