The pretty assistant in DR WHO (7.0) is Elisabeth
Sladen who, before she went to drama school, had a strong Liverpool
accent - just like Cilla Black's - and has been known to shout "Geroff!" when
she accidentally bumps her shin on a Dalek. "I don't mind monsters like the
Daleks," she says, "...it's the little moving things that frighten me. I hate
creepies." Tonight's episode, the last of the Death to the Daleks story, has
lots of creepies - a space plague - and the antidote is on Exxilon.

The BBC has always gone to great lengths to fashion
impressive costumes and fearsome physiognomies for the monsters in DR WHO
(6.35). The Monster of Peladon is no exception, umbilicus and all, in
the six-part story continuing tonight when civil war threatens and the horrific
ice warriors are on the march.
