Doctor Who Vs. The 39 Steps

Published in 1915, John Buchan's 

classic espionage novel has been 

dramatised many times since 

Hitchcock's film version in 1935.
Produced by BBC Scotland, this
feature-length TV serial was first
 shown at Christmas 2008.

Here, on the eve of WWI, Richard
Hannay (played by Rupert Penry
Jones) is framed for the murder of

a British spy and flees London. The

romantic subplot with Lydia

Leonard was incorporated for the
Scottish scenes.

Shown on Drama last night, the

adventure also featured Patrick

Malahide, Eddie Marsan, and six Doctor Who cast/crew connections:

• Alex Jennings (Kell) voiced Lord Hawthorn for Big Finish's The Hunting Season (2021)
• David Haig [Collum Ward] (Sinclair) was Pangol in The Leisure Hive
• Steven [William Thomas] Elder [born Lawrence] (Wakeham) voiced Siy Tarkov for Dalek Empire, Farrow for Jubilee (both 2003), Eric Rawden for Something Inside (2006), Rudolph for Blood on Santa's Claw, and Lord Lycaon for I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day and Brightly Shone the Moon That Night (all 2019)
• James Hawes was also director of The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, The Christmas Invasion, New Earth and School Reunion

Doctor Who Vs. MGM's Marple

Between 1961 and 1964, Dame

Margaret Rutherford (1892-1972)

portrayed Agatha Christie's Jane

Marple in four features for MGM

(plus an uncredited cameo in The

Alphabet Murders in 1965).
George Pollock directed the
quartet of films, which all co-
starred Charles Tingwell (as DI
Craddock) and Rutherford's husband, Stringer Davies as a

comic foil akin to Nigel Bruce's Dr. Watson.

Murder She Said (actually
referenced in the third prod-

uction as a play), the first and

finest of the series, was the only

one based on an actual Marple mystery, 4.50 From Paddington

(published in 1957 and known as

What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw! in America). Guest star Joan Hickson went on to play the definitive Marple

for BBC1's acclaimed adaptation from 1984. The works of another

Christie creation, Hercule Poirot, actually inspired the next two films.

Murder at the Gallop was based on After The Funeral (US: Funerals

Are Fatal), and Murder Most Foul (which even referenced The
Mousetrap and The Ninth Life, a fictional Christie work) was adapted
from Mrs. McGinty's Dead (US: Blood Will Tell). 

The Queen of Crime dedicated her 1963 novel, The Mirror Crack'd from
Side to Side, to Rutherford, who later won the Best Supporting Actress
Academy Award for The VIPs. An original screenplay was then provided
for Murder Ahoy, but a  proposed fifth instalment (based on The Body
in the Library) was never filmed.

The friendship between Christie (1890-1976) and Rutherford was
explored in Philip Meeks' play, Murder, Margaret and Me, first staged
in 2015.

Date With History: 1912

April 15th, 2.20 am: Five days into her maiden voyage to New

York, the White Star Line's newest and largest luxury liner RMS

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic, just 160 minutes after colliding

with an iceberg, about 375 miles south of Newfoundland.

The disaster claimed over 1,500 lives, and stunned the world,

inspiring many tales of both heroism and human frailty.

The Cunard ship Carpathia arrived at the site of the sinking at 4

am, and rescued over 700 survivors (from 20 lifeboats, but with

the capacity for a thousand) - 497 passengers, and 216 crew.

Despite an extensive search, only 333 bodies were ever

recovered - 150 victims were buried in Halifax, Canada.

The broken wreck of Titanic - discovered in 1985 by Bob Ballard

- remains on the seabed, at a depth of 12,400 feet, but leaves

an unsinkable legacy.

Doctor Who Vs. The Quatermass Xperiment

Image courtesy of Zeroroom

Professor Bernard Quatermass

was introduced to television

audiences seventy years ago

by Cumbrian-born screenwriter

Thomas Nigel Kneale in The

Quatermass Experiment.

Quatermass II followed in 1955,

and both serials were quickly

acquired by Hammer studios.

The subsequent productions,

The Quatermass Xperiment and

Quatermass 2, were released

in 1955 and 1957, and starred

Irish-born Hollywood actor

Brian Donlevy (1901-1972) as

the eponymous rocket scientist.

Kneale had always been critical

of Donlevy's interpretation of the

lead role and requested the part

be recast for the next sequel,

Quatermass and the Pit.

The first film remake (marketed in America as The Creeping

Unknown) was screened on the Talking Pictures TV channel last

night - it featured five future Doctor Who cast/crew connections:

• [Ernest] Edward Dentith (Constable) was Major General Billy Rutlidge in The Invasion
• Michael Godfrey [born Collins] (Fireman) was Captain Samuel Pike in The Smugglers
• Paul [Alfred] Phillips (Bystander) was Guard/Prisoner in (episode 2 of) The War Games, and Miner in The Monster of Peladon (3)

The 50 Greatest TV Episodes of All Time

The Independent have published the latest television survey,

which includes the second Doctor Who serial - the poll's oldest

entry. Dominated by British drama, the diverse list featured ER,

Cracker, The Simpsons, and It's a Sin, but is topped by This is

England '86. Culture reporter Chris Harvey writes:

31) Doctor Who - Series 1: The Daleks (1963)

"British TV had already experienced a science fiction phenomenon

with The Quatermass Experiment a full decade before this episode

of the fledgling [series]. But the opener to the second adventure

saw the introduction of an element that was crucial to the show's

success as it had been to the works of Shakespeare: enemies that

are more compelling than the forces of good. The Daleks were the

creation of Terry Nation, who had the Nazis in mind for his

merciless cyborg mutants, and the BBC's costume and special

effects' departments did him proud."

Doctor Who Vs. Fairy Tale: A True Story

This British film told the compelling,

true story of the Cottingley fairies.

Cousins, Elsie Wright (1901-1988)

and Frances Griffiths (1907-1986)

photographed fairies at Cottingley

Beck, near Bradford in Yorkshire, in

1917.

The cast, led by Peter O'Toole (as Sir

Arthur Conan Doyle) and Harvey

Keitel (Harry Houdini), included Paul

McGann.

Hungarian-born escapologist, Houdini
(1874-1926), a known sceptic, was
determined to expose fake phen-

omena, whereas Sherlock Holmes

creator, Doyle (1859-1930) was a famed spiritualist, who believed in

the existence of the Cottingley fairies. 

Two photos were originally published with an article by Doyle in The Strand magazine at Christmas 1920, but the story continued to attract

fresh interest from 1966, and just before the cousins died, they finally

exposed the fairies as a hoax in 1983.

The Whoniverse has seen numerous mentions of Houdini and Doyle in

many media. Tim Beckmann voiced Houdini in Smoke and Mirrors, and

the illusionist appeared in The Space Cuckoos (both 2013). Doyle

(voiced by Steven Miller) starred in Big Finish's The Monstrous

Menagerie (2014). In the Torchwood episode, Small Worlds (2006),

Gwen Cooper is seen examining a Cottingley photo.
