=== Baker's Casting === | |||
According to [[Colin Baker]], after appearing as [[Maxil]] in three of [[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity's]] four episodes, he and his wife were invited to the wedding of an assistant floor manager a few weeks later. [[Eric Saward]], [[John Nathan-Turner]] and [[Gary Downie]] also attended. | According to [[Colin Baker]], after appearing as [[Maxil]] in three of [[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity's]] four episodes, he and his wife were invited to the wedding of an assistant floor manager a few weeks later.

Both [[Eric Saward]] and [[Ian Levine]] would later admit that they doubted the wisdom of casting Baker based on how he acted at a party. | Both [[Eric Saward]] and [[Ian Levine]] would later admit that they doubted the wisdom of casting Baker based on how he acted at a party. | ||
=== Costume === | |||
[[Pat Godfrey]] was asked to design a costume that was "totally tasteless", in line with how Nathan-Turner imagined this Doctor. [[Eric Saward]] offered the idea, in his interview, that Nathan-Turner wanted to see his own style of dress reflected in this Doctor - a nod to his penchant for Hawaiian shirts. Godfrey struggled to meet the brief, with many of her designs being rejected by Nathan-Turner. Saward puts this down to her years of experience leading her to instinctively make the costume less tasteless, with more complementary colours. Eventually, according to Baker, Godfrey would create a design so tasteless that she did not expect Nathan-Turner to acccept it but, to her surprise, he did. | |||
