Newscaster 2 (Doctor Who and the Space War)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
This topic might have a better name.
Wouldn't it be more conventional for this to be called Newscaster 2 (Frontier in Space) or Newscaster 2 (Doctor Who and the Space War), considering that he doesn't actually appear in the TV story?
Talk about it here.
A newscaster from Earth once introduced a film report about Congressman Brook and his populist anti-Draconian sentiments. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Space War)
Behind the scenes
- Though the newscaster was cast with Bill Mitchell for episode six of Frontier in Space, director Paul Bernard made a last-minute decision to use only the footage involving Congressman Brook at a political rally, calling for war with Draconia. Although the newscaster is mentioned in the novelisation, as well as still being credited both on-screen and in Radio Times, he makes no actual appearance in televised Doctor Who. Incidentally, the novelisation makes no distinction between this newscaster and the one played by Louis Mahoney in episode one. It is possible, therefore, to believe that this character doesn't exist at all in any form of Doctor Who.
