  1. Paul Shelley, Doctor Who #117: Four To Doomsday, TV, 1981.        Warwick was not persuaded to play the Minister of Persuasion. Nor were Colin Baker, Michaels Cashman and Cochrane, Tom Chadbon, Jack Galloway, Martin Jarvis, Paul Jerricho, Clive Merrison, Martin Potter and Malcolm Tierney. This was Doc5 Peter Davison’s second outing. “And I didn’t know what I was doing!”
  2. Michael Cochrane, Doctor Who #120: Black Orchid, TV, 1982.     Not a rehash of Sophia Loren’s 1958 Hollywood melo, but an adventure (with cricket!) in 1925 England for for Doc5 Peter Davison. In the baker’s dozen list for Lord Cranleigh were Warwick, Cochrane, Nicholas Ball, Michael Cashman, Christopher Cazenove, Keith Drinkel, Peter Firth, Nigel Havers, Paul Jerricho, Martin Potter, Jeff Rawle, Patrick Ryecart – and Simon Williams, invariably a lord or knight.

  4. Peter Firth, Lifeforce, 1984.
  5. Chris Sullivan, Lifeforce, 1984

  7. Tom Chadbon, Doctor Who #143: The Trial of a Time Lord, TV, 1986.       While the franchise was as much on trial as Doc6 Colin Baker in the season -ong investigation, 16 actors were flagpoled for Merdeen...
