Happy Birthday Doc, you celebrate your birthday with two people from the world of Who.
Daniella Danby-Ashe who
played Mary in Greeks Bearing Gifts, and Alethea Charlton who was in episodes
2, 3 and 4 of An Unearthly Child in 1963 (9 Aug 1931 – 6 May

Did you know on this day
in 2002, the second episode of Big Finish audio play Real Time was broadcast? It starred Colin Baker as the Doctor with
companion Evelyn Smythe played by Maggie Stables. It was written and directed by Gary Russell
and produced by James Goss and Jason Haigh-Ellery, and produced for BBC
Worldwide by Jacqueline Rayner.
The story was originally
a webcast for BBCi and was released on CD on 12th December 2002, but
originally broadcast in 6 x 10 min episodes between August 2nd –
September 6th, 2002.
The story began on the
desert planet of Chronos in the 33rd Century. Survey teams working for a university had
vanished amongst the pyramids on the planet.
Amongst those who have disappeared, one is an expert on
cybernetics. It isn’t long before the
Doctor and companion Evelyn learn the deadly truth, that the planet is being
used as a base for....Cybermen!
