Being Nice to Each Other (30'03")

Christopher H Bidmead reminds us that Doctor Who wasn't science fiction in the strictest sense of the word and Johnny Byrne that the production office felt very upbeat for this brief period.
Byrne talks about how he came onto the show and his history of watching the show. He explains his original idea and how it became The Keeper of Traken.
Bidmead explains how Tom Baker's decision to leave folded into the plans for Traken and how the Master was crowbarred in at the last minute, with very little input from Byrne.
John Black on how much he enjoyed working on Doctor Who, and his work developing the look of the serial. Sarah Sutton describes her costume as "beautiful" and Sheila Ruskin remembers hers with pleasure.
Black discusses the large number of actors involved and the casting difficulties that caused.
Beevers and Black discuss the former's voice and how he worked in rehearsals, Ruskin discusses being evil and Black covers the casting of Ainley. Bidmead complains about Tremas' name.
Sutton explains how she came to be cast while Byrne, Ruskin and Black discuss some of the more difficult parts of the storyline to shoot.
Black and Sutton on working with Tom Baker.
