Lost episode[edit]

Just a question: here, the article states that the request to trim down the serial from four to three episodes was made by Sydney Newman (BBC Head of Drama), whereas Outpost Gallifrey's entry on the story credits it to Donald Wilson (Head of Serials beneath Newman). Can we verify where the actual request came from, be it one, the other, or both of them? – Sean Daugherty (talk) 00:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

I know this page is not on many whatchlists anymore but if anyone can put a picture more representative of the serial in the infobox it would be much appreciated. The current one looks like it could come from any cop series of the era and has little to do with what this story is about. Thanks ahead of time to anyone that can improve this.

Excellent work. Many thanks. MarnetteD | Talk 13:42, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to RedRose64 for the caption update also. So many pictures are being deleted and I know nothing about NFCC so if either of you could check to make sure that all the t's are crossed and the i's dotted that would be great. If you've already taken care of this then again thanks. This pic represents the episode much better so I appreciate the time that you both put in on this.
