Never mind The Christmas Invasion or The Waters of Mars, what about him stealing Jo's sandwiches in The Sea Devils? Absolutely unforgivable. She was really hungry, too

Sadly, John Levene's contract stipulates that any recording of John Levene must include 30 minutes of his standup routine per hour of broadcasted footage/audio. Good luck, Big Finish fans!

I love Revelation. Particularly because it was the last classic Who where they used film on location, and Graeme Harper-directed film at that. It's a bit depressing to watch the on location videotape of, say, Curse of Fenric, and think about how much nicer it would look on film. I don't love the horrible freeze frame edit at the very end, though. Only JNT would do something like that, rather than (for example) just asking the script editor to open the following season with a two line explanation of why they didn't end up going to Blackpool after all.

Yeah, the copyright on the characters/monsters in a classic series script would usually belong to the scriptwriter (excepting characters already owned by the BBC, e.g. the Doctor himself, pre-existing companions etc.) If the Dr Who production office wanted a new companion in the show, they would either create the character themselves and ask the scriptwriter to include them (so the BBC has copyright of the new character), or continue to use one of the characters created by a scriptwriter in a pre-existing script (so the scriptwriter would retain copyright of the character rather than the BBC). In fact, this is why JNT insisted on the production office explicitly creating all companions post-Nyssa, due to Johnny Byrne needing to be paid £50 an episode (or whatever) so they could continue to use that character which had originated in the Keeper of Traken script. In the wilderness years, fans found that (e.g.) the estate of Robert Holmes would be much more willing to let them use things like the Sontarans in their productions than the BBC ever would, hence the glut of tenuously linked "from the world of Dr Who" videos that appeared around that time. It's not quite as simple as even that, though, because the copyright of the appearance of the Sontarans still belonged to the BBC (as it was their in-house makeup/costume departments which created that). So after all that, the Sontarans don't even look right, but - hey! - the actual show couldn't be bothered getting them to look right in The Two Doctors, so we shouldn't be too harsh I guess.
