* Brook is a more prominent character in [[Malcolm Hulke]]'s [[Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)|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 (Bill Mitchell)|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 of Earth|president-in-waiting]]. | |||
