Doctor Who - Time-Flight/ Arc of Infinity
"Emergency! We have lost contact with Concorde Golf Victor Foxtrot!"
Heathrow Airport tracks the loss of one of it's Concorde aircraft by radar. Affected by the same disturbance the Tardis is forced onto Heathrow's flightpath and then into the terminal buildings where the Doctor uses his UNIT credentials to explain their presence and is co-opted into the investigation. He has the Tardis loaded onto a second Concorde flight which also vanishes from Heathrow's radar but the crew find they have landed at the airport. The Doctor proves it is an illusion and they are in fact in a barren prehistoric landscape with the original Concorde. While the Doctor & Tegan investigate a spaceship wreck the Tardis is seized by passengers from the first flight and taken away to the citadel of the wizard Kalid who is observing proceedings. Two of the crew of the Doctor's Concorde pursue their colleagues but are surrounded by grey alien creatures and teleported away. When the Doctor returns the creatures come for him too....
You know what this is ? It's "we've done a deal with Heathrow Airport to use it and a Concorde in a program. Look everyone - it's Concorde!"
The location work at Heathrow, aided by a layer of snow, looks fab but the moment a Doctor Who fan sees an Airport they're going to think "Gatwick Airport" & "Faceless Ones" which automatically invites a comparison.
And while the locations are good the alien landscape in the studio is poor, looking like it's a studio!
The script is by first time writer for the show Peter Grimwade, who over the last two years had been a very successful director fronting Full Circle, Logopolis, Kinda and the previous story Earthshock. This isn't his first TV writing work as he'd been writing sice the late 60s, with several episodes of Z-Cars, but it is somewhat pedestrian.
It's nice to see the events of the last episode referenced as the Doctor tries to explain why he couldn't go back for Adric..... but fails completely:
DOCTOR: Crew of the freighter safely returned to their own time.
NYSSA: Cyber fleet dispersed.
TEGAN: Oh, great. You make it sound like a shopping list, ticking off things as you go. Aren't you forgetting something rather important? Adric is dead.
NYSSA: Tegan, please.
DOCTOR: We feel his loss as well.
TEGAN: Well, you could do more than grieve. You could go back.
NYSSA: Could you?
DOCTOR: No.
NYSSA: But surely the Tardis is quite capable of
TEGAN: We can change what happened if we materialise before Adric was killed.
DOCTOR: And change your own history?
TEGAN: Look, the freighter could still crash into Earth. That doesn't have to be changed. Only Adric doesn't have to be on board.
DOCTOR: Now listen to me, both of you. There are some rules that cannot be broken even with the Tardis. Don't ever ask me to do anything like that again. You must accept that Adric is dead. His life wasn't wasted. He died trying to save others, just like his brother, Varsh. You know, Adric had a choice. This is the way he wanted it.
TEGAN: We used to fight a lot. I'll miss him.
NYSSA: So will I.
DOCTOR: And me. But he wouldn't want us to mourn unnecessarily.
My point from the last episode stands: There's a considerable gap in time between the escape pod launching and the freighter being destroyed, how does the Doctor know what has happened on the bridge during this time? Why doesn't he land the Tardis on the bridge the moment the escape pod leaves and rescues Adric? Still it's good to know Scott, Briggs, Berger and the remaining Trooper don't get marooned on prehistoric Earth forever.
Still it is rather amusing that having spent half the season trying to get Tegan back to Heathrow, the Doctor finally manages it when he's not trying to!
DOCTOR: Seems to have done the trick.
NYSSA: Where are we?
DOCTOR: Somewhere above Hyde Park. The view should be spectacular.
TEGAN: That's not Hyde Park, that's Heathrow Airport!
DOCTOR: You're right.
TEGAN: Well, I never thought I'd say this, but let's get out of here! We could be in the path of an oncoming aircraft!
Once they're inside the Terminal Building Tegan can see more problems:
TEGAN: You've landed us right in the middle of a Terminal building.
DOCTOR: So I have.
TEGAN: The authorities'll go mad.
DOCTOR: Well, we'll only be here a moment. I hope.
Sure enough they get their collar felt quickly ....
ANDREWS: Are you responsible for this box, sir?
DOCTOR: Well, I try to be.
NYSSA: Doctor, you've done it again.
DOCTOR: Nonsense. We'll be away from here in no time.
ANDREWS: Would you be so good as to open it up, sir?
DOCTOR: Is that a good idea?
ANDREWS: I must insist, sir. Security.
DOCTOR: Yes, of course. Security.
ANDREWS: You have the key, sir?
DOCTOR: UNIT.
ANDREWS: Sir?
DOCTOR: You'd do much better to check with UNIT, department C19. Sir John Sudbury is the man you want.
ANDREWS: And who exactly are you, sir?
DOCTOR: Oh, just tell him it's the Doctor. And do send my regards to Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart. Unless, of course, he's a General by now. You see? What did I say. We'll be gone in a couple of shakes.
It's nice to see the Doctor's connection with UNIT being given it's first mention in the series for donkeys years. UNIT would have been relatively fresh in viewers' minds following the repeats of The Three Doctors during the Five Faces of Doctor Who the previous November.
SHEARD: A doctor with a police box. Really, Sir John, I hardly. Yes, yes, of course I appreciate the political ramifications, but.... Yes, but surely that's all the more reason for not wasting time with this doctor. Yes, I. Yes, I beg your pardon. Of course, if you insist, Sir John.
ANDREWS: The party with the police box in Terminal One have full security clearance from C19.
SHEARD: That was UNIT. We are obliged to brief this doctor on the disappearance of Victor Foxtrot. Jim, I've had these Whitehall jokers up to here.
.... and that's the Doctor involved in the investigation into the missing Concorde!
Management have some concerns about The Doctor's plan though:
SHEARD: But why does it have to be another Concorde?
DOCTOR: We must follow the same route, same height, same speed, and with my equipment on board I can identify what I believe to be an exponential time contour.
SHEARD: And you really believe that Victor Foxtrot flew into a time warp?
DOCTOR: Exactly. And we can't have a navigational hazard like that hanging about the galaxy.
SHEARD: Yes? Thank you. Golf Alpha Charlie is ready for boarding.
And, to be fair, The Doctor doesn't exactly say why it needs to be a Concorde!
The Tardis being loaded into Concorde sideways initially causes problems, which are partially solved by the Doctor reorientating the interior against the outside.
NYSSA: I wish I'd known about that when we were on Castrovalva.
DOCTOR: So useful when you want to maintain a dignified attitude.
On Castrovalva the Tardis landed at an angle and, with The Doctor indisposed, the interior remained sloped for the rest of the story.
There's a couple more lovely nods to previous stories after they travel back in time.
DOCTOR: Definitely Jurassic. There's a nip in the air, though. We can't be far off the Pleistocene era.
TEGAN: The ice age?
DOCTOR: It's times like this I wish I still had my scarf. Better watch out for the odd brontosaurus.
The Fourth Doctor famously wore a scarf while the Third Doctor encountered a brontosaur in Invasion of the Dinosaurs.
On first viewing in 1982 I found the figure of the Kalid (poor choice of name considering there's a significant alien race in Doctor Who called the Kaleds) an interesting figure, surrounded by technology in the middle of the prehistoric landscape. He must be a survivor of the crashed spaceship the Doctor and Tegan found. The Kalid's credited actor is Leon Ny Taiy.....
Right, lots of cast to get through here. We'll start with the first Concorde. It's Captain, Captain Urquhart, is played by John Flint who was William des Preaux in The Crusade. He'd been in Quatermass and the Pit as a Journalist in The Halfmen and in Paul of Tarsus, which starred Patrick Troughton as Paul, as Saul's companion in The Road to Damascus & Simon Peter.
The Flight Engineer on Speedbird Concorde one nine two is Richard Bonehill who had been a Security Guard in Logopolis.
He returns a an Officer in Enlightenment, a Guardolier in Timelash, a Guard in Revelation of the Daleks and a Hyperion III Loader/Guard in The Trial of a Time Lord: Terror of the Vervoids.
He was a stand in in Edge of Darkness, in Robin of Sherwood he was a Swordsman in The Children of Israel and a Driver in Cromm Cruac while in Gormenghast he was the sword master.
He played multiple roles in both the last two Star Wars films: a snowtrooper, a stormtrooper, and Rebel officer Palo Torshan in The Empire Strikes Back; and a stormtrooper, a Mon Calamari, an X-wing pilot, a TIE pilot, and named characters Nien Nunb, Ree-Yees, and Mosep Binneed in Return of the Jedi. He was also an extra in Flash Gordonand Buck the Hotel Clerk in Highlander.
The first Concorde's First Officer in the film sequences is David Rogue who will return as a Buccaneer Guard, Wrack Deck Crew & Striker Deck Crew in Enlightenment, a Guard in Planet of Fire and an Alphan servant The Trial of a Time Lord: Mindwarp. In the studio the First Officer is Clark Stephens who had been a Citizen in Full Circle. He's also a passenger during this story.
Air Steward Dave Culshaw is played by Barney Lawrence so we finally get to find out what he looks like! He had been a Marshman in Full Circle, a Guard in State of Decay, a Foster in Keeper of Traken, a Kinda Hostage in Kinda and the Male Android Silhouette in Earthshock.
He returns as Tanha’s Bodyguard in Snakedance,
a member of Striker's crew in Enlightenment,
a Marine Guard in Warriors of the Deep,
and
a Trooper in Resurrection of the Daleks. He was in Blake's 7 as a Federation Trooper in Time Squad & Bounty, a Guard in Traitor and Zukan's Technician in Warlord.
Stewardess Angela Clifford is played by Judith Byfield who also provides the Tannoy Voice.
Onto the Heathrow staff.
When I saw Horton, the radar operator played by Peter Dahlsen, all I could think of was how much he reminded me of Fred Mumford, the original lead character in Rentaghost played by Anthony Jackson.
It doesn't help that his superior Sheard, played by Brian McDermott pays more than a passing resemblance to Edward Brayshaw (Reign of Terror/The War Games) who was Mr Meeker in Rentaghost!
McDermott can be seen in The Sweeney episode Stay Lucky Eh? as Ken Algar and in The Professionals as Miller in Backtrack. He's one of a few Doctor Who actors with Babylon 5 on their CV playing Durhan in Learning Curve.
Jim Andrews, the head of security at Heathrow, is a familiar figure to sit com viewers in the 80s: he's played by Peter Cellier who was in Yes Minister and it's sequel Yes, Prime Minister as Sir Frank Gordon, the Permanent Secretary to HM Treasury. He'd been in The Professionals as Walton in Long Shot, is in Chariots of Fire as the Head Waiter at the Savoy and in Clockwise he plays a Headmaster. He appears in the Midsomer Murders episode A Talent for Life with a scene stealing performance as Peregrine Slade, the man who takes charge at the funeral.
Airport Management: previously seen leaning over Horton's shoulder as the Concorde goes missing then seated next to him at the management conference is Ken Sedd
a Wheel Crewmember in The Wheel in Space,
a Bi-Al Member in The Invisible Enemy,
should have been a Young Scientist in Shada,
and was
an an Argolin Guide in The Leisure Hive and
He returns as
and
a Guest Gambler in Enlightment.
He's also in Doomwatch as a Man in You Killed Toby Wren, Flight Into Yesterday, The Inquest & The Logicians, a Barman in High Mountain and a Man in Club in The Killer Dolphins. He appears in our favourite Adam Adamant Lives! episode D for Destruction as a TA Soldier and in A Sinister Sort of Service as an S.S. Guard. He was a long term associate of comedian Benny Hill appearing frequently in his programs.
The member of management on the other side of the conference table is Douglas Stark who was
a Sorenson Monster in Planet of Evil,
a man in Image of the Fendahl,
a Guide in The Leisure Hive,
and a Cricketer in Black Orchid.
He returns as
a Soldier in Caves of Androzani,
Mercenary in Dragonfire
and a
Pallbearer in Remembrance of the Daleks.
The Chief Terminal Duty Officer is the man wearing the security guard's uniform who spots the Doctor's party and he's played by Ron Gregory - I had to look at his Aveleyman page to work out who the Chief Terminal Duty Officer was! He had been a Guardian in the first two episodes of The Ark, a UNIT Soldier in Ambassadors of Death and a Priest in Androids of Tara.
He'd been in The Prisoner as a Pub Customer/Boxing Fan/Man at Fairground in The Girl Who Was Death and in Doomwatch as a Computer Technician in The Plastic Eaters and a Guard in Train and De-Train.
In Monty Python's Flying Circus he's one of the many Gasman in Dinsdale! and in Jeeves and Wooster he's a Man in Court in Bertie Takes Gussie's Place at Deverill Hall. On the big screen he's in the Sean Connery
James Bond films
Diamonds Are Forever as a Casino Patron and
Never Say Never Again as a Clerk. In Superman II he's a Presidential Advisor while in Morons from Outer Space he's a the Minister's Dinner Guest.
Onto the the group he summons to deal with the Doctor's party made up of four securityguards, two policeman and featuring a whole load of familiar faces.

More characters I can't locate, this time referred to as Americans. Again they're marked as Film Only in the DWAS Production File so that could mean they're in the terminal building or on the plane
