Doctor Who Vs. Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell

Shown on Talking Pictures TV last night, this feature was Hammer's final chapter in their Frankenstein saga. Genre legend Peter Cushing made his sixth appearance as Baron Von Frankenstein, and future Star Wars actor David Prowse again played the scientist's monstrous creation. Here, the Baron works as an asylum surgeon under the alias of Dr. Victor, and is now murdering his patients to acquire body parts in his constant experi- ments. Produced in 1972 but only released two years later, the film performed poorly at the box office and became one of the studio's last horror movies. The thriller featured Patrick Troughton (pictured as the Bodysnatcher) and these ten Doctor Who cast links:

• John [Wilson] Stratton (Director) was Shockeye of the Quawncing Grig in The Two Doctors
• Prowse (the Monster) was the Minotaur in The Time Monster
• Norman Mitchell [Driver] (Sergeant) and [Alfred] Hugh Cecil [born Ware] (Inmate) both appeared in The Daleks' Master Plan, as Police- man (episode 7) and Technix (1) respectively - Cecil was also Priest in The Massacre (2), Worker in The War Machines (3), and Extra in The Silurians (6)
• Philip [James] Voss (Ernst) was Acomat in Marco Polo, and Wahed in The Dominators (1)
• [Clifford] Norman Atkyns (Smiler) was a Guardian in Colony in Space, and the Rear Admiral in The Sea Devils (5)
• Janet [Elizabeth] Hargreaves (Chatter) was Mum in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy
• [Harry] Gordon Richardson (Inmate) was Squire in The Silurians (2)
• Nicholas [John] Smith (Death Wish) was Wells in The Dalek Invasion of Earth
• Roy Hyde was the sound editor on Dr. Who and the Daleks too
