A star returns to Doctor Who

[Scaroth of the Jagaroth]

Weren't you played by that bad guy in Indiana Jones and the last crusade?

Julian Glover I think

Oh yes. I was also one of the bad guys in The Empire Strikes Back and For Your Eyes Only.

Bizzare that Bernard Cribbins was in it, seeing as he was an assistant in the 60s movie, DR Who and the Daleks, staring Peter Cushing as Dr Who

Not bizarre. Quite deliberate IMO. Russell T Davies is the ultimate Doctor Who geek.

I seem to recall in Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. that Cribbins blinded a dalek by putting paint on its eye. And so he did again in the last episode. And made a quip about it not working. I must watch the film again to check.



P.S. I forgot to point out that the film was "Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D." not "Dr Who and the Daleks". The latter featured Roy Castle, not Mr. Cribbins.
