Yes a great pic Sticks. Maybe someone will post a detailed account of this event for us? Gary and Marcus were indeed very enjoyable at last years EBS day. Anyone know if they are attending this year?

Well, my contribution to this thread, is a link I've found that points to a page, where there are pictures of Marcus and Gary at a fan meeting in 2004.

Keith.

I saw your post, where you mention Jon Pertwee's portrayal of the 3rd Doctor. I was very sad, when Jon Pertwee passed away in 1996, at 76 years of age. Jon Pertwee's Doctor, is also the first of The Doctor's I saw, as well. I still remember being scared by the Keller Machine, in The Mind Of Evil.

Hasn't Gary written some Dr Who epidsodes?

Also Moonraker did the episode you mention have a scene where someone has to take the 'sting of the scorpion' and the man replies 'no, master. no'. I remember play acting that scene with friends at the age of 5 or 6 :D

Gary has written some Doctor Who books, I know that, Belly.

It may indeed, have been The Talons Of Weng-Chiang. Sorry, it's been several years since I last saw it.

Deffo 'The Talons of Weng Chiang. Available on DVD, and one of the very best Who stories ever.

Well, I've got my own list of the best Doctor Who adventures, Gary. 10 quid says that we'll have to agree to disagree over what it contains. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the link Steph, just had a look, noticed the Torchwood connection too. I wonder if he knows John Barrowman :D

Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.
