== Why is this connected to "Dr. Who"? == | |||
It certainly is clear from the sources that Cushing was to be the lead in this radioplay, but why have we connected it to the incarnation from the Dalek films? Nothing in the script as published in Bignell's magazine suggests this, and it does rather set things up in an alternate direction. And to even cite this page itself "it's decidedly certain that he would not actually have been playing the same version of the character in this series." - so I'm just curious as to what people think. | |||
Personally, I think we would be more accurate and better served by creating a section on Cushing's page about this produced but ultimately never released portrayal, and redirecting to that for the incarnation links here.

Hi, just a minor reply to the statement that there has never been a character in Doctor Who known as "Mike." Captain Mike Yates was a recurring character during the Pertwee-UNIT era (also Rose's boyfriend in C21 Doctor Who is "Mickey.")
Although, it seems unlikely that either character would be featured in an adventure set in 19th Century America. (It would be a fun fan-fiction foray if they were, however.)
