Consider the curious case of one Richard E Grant, what we here at THT Omniversal have called our Mystery Guest. Banished to an obscure corner of the western spiral arm of the Tour, he sits there uncomplaining. Happy for any attention that can be drawn his way. Now that the dust has settled from the last major Tour update, attention can be paid to some of the lonelier parts of the Tour.
Now for those who don't know… as part of it's online ambitions with Doctor Who, BBCi produced late in 2003 as part of the 40th Anniversary celebrations a new online story starring Richard E Grant as some future incarnation of the Doctor in Scream of the Shalka. This BBC sanctioned event made him Tour-worthy, and by extension was touted for the new Doctor Who series starting in 2005. Along with the Big Finish audios, this production served as a vital bridge for fans during the closing stretch of the wilderness years.

But the Moff as a student of Who history knows that, especially during the sixties, companions were changed as often as socks (Katarina of Sara Kingdom anyone?). It's with this in mind that we welcome
Welsh actually. Still it is with a heavy sigh to learn that Philip Madoc has died, aged 77. Strange how some actors cast such a long shodow over a program such as Doctor Who. The art of acting for many of the best character actors is to suggest menace rather than show it out-right. In that regard Philip Madoc was masterful.

Today we celebrate the 12th Anniversary of possibly the most unusual episode of Doctor Who in the program's history. 12th Anniversary you say? The math simply doesn't work in the context of nu-Who doesn't it? On February 29th, 1964 episode 2 of the William Hartnell historical
