Thank you, Darren, Jasper and M! Incidentally, Stratford Johns and Phillip Locke would appear opposite one another again some 21 years later, in the Doctor Who story Four to Doomsday . There, as here, Johns is practically Locke's boss in both stories... About 18 months ago, I began collating a list ...

I'd be very surprised if the S4 artwork stayed the same. There are far better photos of Emma available! The S2, 3 and especially 6 artworks are stunning , however. Purple's one of my favourite colours, but the choice of shot just helps to make it magical! The other part I think could be tentative is...
