Behind the scenes

Trivia

On November 23 1986, Ludo from Labyrinth appeared on a talk show to help promote Labyrinth, on that same show Colin Baker appeared, at the end of the show Colin Baker (representing Doctor Who) cut a birthday cake for the series' 23rd birthday, surrounded by the cast and guests of the show, including Ludo, who all sung "23 today".

  • The book Doctor Who: Regenerations (which goes into great detail about the production of the 1996 Doctor WHo TV novie) stated that Tim Curry (weho played Long John Silver in the Muppet movie, Muppet Treasure Island.) turned down the role of the Eighth Doctor. It also states that most the actors turned down the role as they either weren't too interested, or were unavailable. Since both the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie and Muppet Treasure Island entered production around the same time, it could be possible that scheduling conflicts with Muppet Treasure Island forced Tim Curry to turn down the role of the Eighth Doctor.
