Peter Davison is best
known for playing the 5th Doctor, but Peter’s career spans
decades. In 1975 he appeared as Elmer in
The Tomorrow People since then Peter has been involved in comedies, dramas, sci
fi, horror and children’s programmes. In
2013, during the Doctor Who 50th Celebrations he wrote and starred
in the short film ‘The Five(ish) Doctor’s
Reboot. Best piece of telly that
was. I am still waiting for it to become
a DVD.
Peter is also David
Tennant’s father in law!
Happy
Birthday Peter

sails near the North Pole in 1983, during the Cold War, a nuclear weapons
launch drill is interrupted as a block of ice in the cargo hold begins to
defrost. It isn’t as Grisenko believes –
a frozen mammoth – it is a strange creature who attacks the professor before
escaping and running amok on the submarine now beginning to sink.
