Doctor Who Vs. Trial & Retribution V

Lynda La Plante's acclaimed 
crime drama returned to ITV 
in June 2002, delayed from
 its usual October slot by the
9/11 attacks.
David Hayman (as DCS Mike
Walker), Kate Buffery (DI Pat
 North), Dorian Lough (DS
Satchell), and Paul Kynman
(DI Batchley) were joined by
Inday Ba as DC Lisa West.
Like La Plante's earlier hit
series Prime Suspect, the programme employed its distinctive split-
screen technique. A repeat run of this two-part case began on ITV3
last night - it featured fourteen Doctor Who cast/crew connections:

  • Susan Engel (Sylvia) was Cessair in The Stones of Blood, then voiced Muriel Joy for Big Finish's A Blind Eye (2004)
  • Georgina Hale [born Hole] (Tammy) was Daisy K in The Happiness Patrol
  • Serena Evans (Hannah) voiced Agnes Bates for The Witch from the Well (2011)
  • Martyn Whitby (Prison Officer) was the Drayman in (part 1 of) The Mark of the Rani
  • Greg Bennett (Detective) was Sycorax Warrior/UNIT Soldier in The Christmas Invasion, and Guest in The Lazarus Experiment
  • Paul Courtenay Hyu (Officer) was Haruka Deep Ando in Sleep No More, then voiced Po/Feedback for Neon Reign (2018), Wei for The People Made of Smoke (2020), and Oddiyana for The Secrets of Det Sen (2021)
  • for Simon Callow and Nikki Wilson see Series 2
  • David Mack was also first assistant director on The Rings of Akhaten and The Night of the Doctor
  • Jamie Harcourt was also a camera operator on The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit
  • for Nicholas Blane, Penny Shipton, Leanda Bowden Smith and Sophia Stapleton see Series 4
