Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Brook is a more prominent character in Malcolm Hulke's novelisation of the story. He appears in the chapters that adapt both episodes one and six, whereas in the televised version he is only mentioned in episode one; and appears on-screen only briefly in episode six. There, he is seen on the video screen abruptly and without any introduction because the role of the newscaster was edited out of the finished programme. In the novelisation, he's the Leader of the Opposition and a figure whom many of the public adore. None of this really comes across in the televised version, where his brief appearance makes him seem like an extremist rather than a potential president-in-waiting.
