In Hollywood 1926, the Doctor is at a celebrity party under the guise of many celebrities such as [[Tom Cruise]] and [[Tom Hanks]]. [[Kato]], the [[butler]], interrupts him by introducing him to filmmaker [[Archie Maplin]]. After speaking to Archie, the Doctor also meets young actress [[Emily Winter]] and then [[Matthew Finnegan]], a runner at the United Actors' studio. Eventually, the Doctor notices a man called [[Maximilian Love]] walk in. The Doctor tries to talk to him, but his assistant, Mr [[Leo Miller]], bars him. Undeterred, the Doctor makes an appointment with Maximilian.

== Notes ==
== Notes ==
Silver Scream was originally intended to include [[Charlie Chaplin]], however it was found out late that there were rights problems in using him, and so he was replaced with a character named Archie Maplin. If it had been Charlie Chaplin, then it would have fit in with Donna's reference to him in ''[[Journey's End]]'' similarly to how the Doctor mentioned a desire to meet [[Agatha Christie]] in ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]''. The story contains a veiled reference to Chaplin, establishing that "Maplin" is a different individual.

* Writer [[Tony Lee]] placed these stories prior to the [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)#Specials|2009 specials]].
* This story was reprinted in the trade paperback ''[[Fugitive (graphic novel)|Fugitive]]''.

* In ''[[Journey's End]]'' when [[Donna Noble]] is about to get her memories wiped by the Doctor. She suggests going to meet Charlie Chaplin. As noted above, rights issues prevented the use of Chaplin for this story, however the Doctor does make an oblique reference to "the fellow in the bowler hat", indicating that Maplin is intended to be a different individual existing in the same universe as Chaplin (which preserves continuity should Chaplin ever appear on the TV series).
* The Doctor makes an oblique reference to "the fellow in the bowler hat", meaning [[Charlie Chaplin]]. [[Donna Noble]] previously suggested going to meet him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')
