Talk:Season 26 (Doctor Who 1963)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Recurring[[edit source]]
Currently, Anthony Ainley as the Tremas Master is listed as "recurring cast", but Nicholas Courtney as Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart is listed within the "guest cast". Is there some arcane production reason for this that I'm overlooking? It seems to me that, in both cases, we have actors who had not been in the show for a while reprising their respective roles for a single story in the season each — so they really should be listed in the same way.

- This is what I found from Tardis:Cast lists:
- Characters that appear in more than one episode are "recurring", unless all episodes are part of the same story.
- Characters that appear in only one story of the season/series are "guest". Don't give every single guest star of the season. Instead, give the more significant ones only.
- So it's just a matter of checking their appearances in Season 26 to see where each guy belongs. Shambala108 ☎ 23:19, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, as I said, they're each in one story only. So it sounds like they should both be guests. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 08:24, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
