Hint: The Dr. Who character was a member of UNIT or one of the Doctor's companions during the Pertwee era. I recognized the face as being familiar, but it wasn't until I saw the name at the end that I realized who it was. Mike Davis Real man's trivia question: Howmany times was it said in Pertwee episodes "...reverse the direction of the neutron flow..."? Don't send me answers, I don't have the patience to count them.

Real man's trivia question: Howmany times was it said in Pertwee episodes
"...reverse the polarity of the neutron flow..."?

{ slightly different from a previous posting,
it said direction of neutron flow }
