In [[1970 (production)|1970]] he auditioned for the regular role of [[Captain]] [[Mike Yates]] in the [[Season 8 (Doctor Who 1963)|eighth season]] of ''Doctor Who''. Although he was offered the part, he was unable to accept due to other commitments. He sufficiently impressed the production team to be kept in mind however, and was cast in a supporting role in the [[1973 (releases)|1973]] story'' [[Carnival of Monsters (TV story)|Carnival of Monsters]]'', broadcast as part of the [[Season 10|tenth season]] of the programme. | In [[1970 (production)|1970]] he auditioned for the regular role of [[Captain]] [[Mike Yates]] in the [[Season 8 (Doctor Who 1963)|eighth season]] of ''Doctor Who''.

In [[1974 (production)|1974]], he was cast as companion Harry Sullivan, a character developed by the production team when they thought the [[Fourth Doctor]] might be portrayed by an older actor who would be unable to handle the more physical action scenes. However, after [[Tom Baker]] was cast and proved himself capable of said scenes, this was no longer an issue. Harry was written out after just one season, despite being a popular character and gelling well with Baker and other lead [[Elisabeth Sladen]]. Marter was the third ''Doctor Who'' regular to be cast following a guest appearance; the first two were [[Peter Purves]] and [[Nicholas Courtney]]. | In [[1974 (production)|1974]], he was cast as companion Harry Sullivan, a character developed by the production team when they thought the [[Fourth Doctor]] might be portrayed by an older actor who would be unable to handle the more physical action scenes.
