<> It seems that Remington Steele borrowed more from London than just its scenery in the episode last night (9/24). It also borrowed an actor that appeared in a prominent role in a Doctor Who story. Julian Glover, who played the part of Chief Inspector Lombard of Scotland Yard, also played the role of Count Scallioni in the Doctor Who story "City of Death". Since this Remington Steele episode is a two-parter, you may be able to see him again next week if you missed him this week. To say the least, his role in Remington Steele was not anything like his role in "City of Death". John L.

When Peter Davison was in St. Louis this summer (at TARDISCON 85), he mentioned that he would be appearing on Remington Steele. Unfortunately, I have no more specific information than that.

Another Dr. Who crossover [surprised no one else mentioned it yet!] = Peter Davison was in the new-season-opener of Magnum, PI (set in England). I didn't watch this -- the wife did, and I caught a bit now and then as I passed through the room -- but it seemed that he had a rather small part. I guess the British "repertory" actors don't mind moving from leads to fill-in parts and back again, though, the way I would think American actors would... (Wasn't Dr. Who the top TV show in Britain for at least a while? One would think that the lead in such a big show wouldn't accept lesser roles thereafter...) Will

They take pride in whatever they do well. We, on the other hand, wouldn't think of doing anything 'below ourselves'. In-other-words... American actors are in the business to accumulate honors and thus get more and more money. The British, while they also like the honor, look upon their profession as a job... Any job that helps to pay the rent.

As long as we are finding the Doctor in other productions, I just saw him
in an old Avengers episode entitled "From Venus, With Love". The [bit] part
of Brigadier Whitehead was played by none other than Jon Pertwee. It was
a fairly silly episode (for the Avengers) in which lasers make noise and
emit incoherent white light.

Also saw Patrick Troughton as Perkins (a rich, eccentric country person) on
an episode of Only When I Laugh. He had on enough makeup to make it difficult
to recognize him if you did not notice his name in the opening credits.
The show is a BBC sitcom about 3 patients sharing a room in hospital.

> ...He had on enough makeup to make it difficult > to recognize him if you did not notice his name in the opening credits. This is quite typical of Troughton. He also plays Mr. March in the BBC version of "Little Women," and plays Cole Hawlings in "Box of Delights," on the PBS Wonderworks series. A. G.

For those of you in the S.F. Bay area, Patrick Troughton appears as Anne
Boleyn's (sp?) uncle in *The Six Wives of Henry VIII* (Tuesdays on Channel
54). Other PBS stations may also be reshowing it.
