On April 29th 1989, Pertwee fell ill and was replaced for two performances by David, who wore a white suit, t-shirt and Panama hat as the Doctor. In the late 1980s David got involved with Cyber-lore, writing the biographical work Doctor Who - Cybermen in 1988, which he adapted into audio cassettes and narrated as Origins of the Cybermen (1989-90). In 1984 David submitted a script to the Doctor Who production team called FlipBack which was steeped in Cyber-continuity, and was ultimately developed into his New Adventure novel Iceberg in 1993.

ReplyDeleteFrazer Hines's book is full of rubbish in the Childhood chapter! He stole his brother Iain's experiences, and used them...all Iain's history living in Scotland, during which time Frazer was not even born! When Frazer was two, Iain worked at the Guest house age 9 until 15, Frazer never served food, Iain in Hus schooldays worked at the hotel fulltime until age 15, all the time giving his money to Frazer's mother towards mortgage..he continued until he joined the RAF on callup..and sent pay home even then...later, when they lived in Chiswick, Mr Hines Snr wanted to donate a share when that house was sold to Iain, who had always contributed..Frazer screamed out "Over my dead body"..
ReplyDeleteAnother National Treasure faker...
Always remember..your Dr Who icons are often lived as the characters..but in real life the reverse! Just ask Gemma Craven, Frazer's ex!
True. I knew the three Hines boys, Frazer was the darling, but Roy and Ian had much more talent, Roy as a dancer and Ian as a musician, composer, actor. They had no chance, Frazer born two years after Frazer, and he and Ian sent up to Scotland so Mrs Hines had Frazer to herself. Disgusting, and Roy dued aged 40, Frazer refusing to go to see him till Ian threatened to drag him down to London. He never went to Roy's funeral. I read a Gemma Craven comment that her parents detested Frazer. Don't forget, actors like him still act in real life. Gordon
