Any chance of spillover to Dr Who?
Peter Cushing played eccentric inventor Dr Who - actually his name in these versions - in two films for producer Milton Subotsky in the mid-1960s (
Doctor Who and the Daleks and
Daleks' Invasion Earth AD). In the 1970s Subotsky also produced
At the Earth's Core, in which Cushing played eccentric inventor Dr Abner Perry in a performance very similar to his Dr Who. It's Dr Perry who forms the basis of Professor Cushion. Some
Doctor Who fans consider it almost a second sequel.
I think that's as good a Leela as I've seen!
Perhaps not Leela, but the costumes (such as they were!) from
One Million Years BC were reused in the 1966
Doctor Who story "The Savages". Sadly, those episodes are among the ones missing from the BBC Archive.
- Steve F, boring in a different way from Dr Perry's big drill.
