It's rather amusing to pick out actors who have been in other Doctor Who stories and play the 'where do I know them from?' game.
If you watch almost any British TV and get into this, it becomes a neverending source of amusement. All the typecasting (oh, look, David Collings breaking down again; Peter Jeffrey is always evil, why are you trusting him?), random coincidences (I've seen two actors play three different variations on being related by marriage in different ways within the space of about 4 years in real time) and the directors who really love that actor. Sometimes the TV is entertaining, too, of course. And I do hope you'll be inspired to more dw_allsorts fanworks, for purely selfish reasons, because the world can always use more good Ian & Barbara.
