Classic Who - Season 5, Story 40 - The Enemy of the World

====================================
Quotes
====================================
"We're by the seaside, that's where we are. That's all that matters." ~ The Second Doctor

"Come on, you two. No, wait a minute. See if there's any buckets and spades in the Tardis." ~ The Second Doctor

"Come on, run. Don't argue, run. Come on. Come on!" ~ The Second Doctor

"They're human beings, if that's what you mean, indulging their favourite past time. Trying to destroy each other." ~ The Second Doctor

"Depends on what you mean by been safe. They've shot a hole in the fuel tank. We might blow up any minute." ~ Astrid

Astrid: Oh, you're a Doctor?
The 2nd Doctor: Well, not of any medical significance.
Astrid: Doctor of law? Philosophy?
The 2nd Doctor: Which law? Whose philosophies, eh?

"Well to save the world, aye, well it sounds grand, but. Oh, we couldn't turn our back on a chance like this, Doctor. Well at least I know you wouldn't." ~ Jaime McCrimmon

"Disused Yeti?" ~ The Second Doctor

"What a boy, huh? Fariah, see he gets some proper uniform instead of this skirt. And bring him and his girlfriend to see me." ~ Salamander

"Look, if Salamander wishes you to know that, I dare say he'll tell you himself. You'll get no confidences out of me." ~ Jaime McCrimmon

"Astrid and Giles Kent were quite right, Salamander is an evil man. I can somehow sense it from all the people here." ~ Victoria Waterfield

"What you're saying is that Salamander's found a way of harnessing the natural forces of the earth. It's a little difficult to accept. I'm not saying it's impossible, mind you." ~ The Second Doctor

"Maybe they'll shoot me. I won't have to worry anymore. No, they wouldn't do that, the firing squad'd miss me." ~ Griffin

"As I say, sometimes we do what we have to do, not what we want to do." ~ Fariah

"But up there, is terrible still. The war goes on and on, and you never know when the air is clean or when it's poison. We have to fight for a while longer, hmm? Creating natural disasters, monsoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, always in the places where the enemies of truth and freedom gather together." ~ Salamander

"I don't think it's right. Just work, sleep, eat, if there's enough to go round. Like worms under the earth, sightless worms wriggling about without hope, without purpose." ~ Colin

"Holiday Liner Sinks! You say there's a global war, radiation everywhere. How can there be holiday liners? Tell me how? You've lied to us, haven't you? Haven't you!" ~ Swann

"Well, it's true that the war is over, but have you any idea what happens to people who've been involved in a nuclear war? Have you? Those who are lucky enough to escape the annihilation have their bodies eaten away by radiation poisoning. They're deformed in mind and body. They have a kind of society, but it's evil, corrupt. You don't think I could expose you to that sort of thing? Think of Mary and the other women." ~ Salamander

Benik: Come now, you don't think I'm just going to sit here and ask questions, do you?
Jamie: You must have been a nasty little boy.
Benik: Oh, I was. But I had a very enjoyable childhood.

"What's he done? What's he done? He's kept us prisoners. Listen, there are others. There are more people down the shaft. Salamander's kept us down there, prisoners, years of it. Promise you'll bring them to the surface. Swear it. You've got to swear it." ~ Swann

"Rules? Really? You forget, I'm World Security Controller. I make rules and break them. And men, Captain. Come on, you two." ~ Donald Bruce

"You built an atomic shelter, took some people down for an endurance test. The next person they saw was Salamander. Who told them that an atomic war had started." ~ Astrid

"Any man who resorts to murder as eagerly and as rapidly as you must be suspect. You didn't just want to expose Salamander, you wanted to kill him and take his place." ~ The Second Doctor

Trivia
====================================
Patrick Troughton is credited as 'Dr. Who/Salamander' for Episodes 2 to 6. He also appears as Salamander in a 35mm film sequence in Episode 1, but is credited only as 'Dr. Who'. Radio Times credits 'Patrick Troughton as Dr. Who and Salamander' for Episodes 2 to 6, while the actual cast lists – which credit the characters in order of appearance – bill Patrick Troughton only as 'Dr. Who' for Episodes 1 and 6, and as both 'Dr. Who' and 'Salamander' (separate billings) for Episodes 2 to 5.

This marks the second time that a doppelganger of the Doctor has been featured (giving the lead actor a dual role), following William Hartnell's double performance as the First Doctor and the Abbot of Amboise in The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve.

Footage of Jamie and Victoria from episode three appears in the flashback sequence in Resurrection of the Daleks.

Patrick Troughton's son David appears as an extra in Episodes 5 and 6.

Neither Deborah Watling nor Frazer Hines appear in Episode 4, as they were on holiday the week it was recorded.

This is the final story overseen by producer Innes Lloyd.

Episode 3 marked the first use of 625-line videotape in Doctor Who, as opposed to the old 405-line standard.

For the week of transmission of Episode 5, Doctor Who featured — in full colour for the first time — on the front cover of Radio Times (cover dated: 20-26 January 1968): a head-and-shoulders shot of Patrick Troughton as the Doctor examining a control panel, which was taken from the previous story, The Ice Warriors. This was used to introduce a two-page colour behind-the-scenes article in the centre pages entitled The Monstrous World of Doctor Who, written by Gay Search, which opened with the following introductory paragraph: "Daleks, Cybermen, Yetis, Ice Warriors — familiar monster guaranteed to chill the blood of anyone over the age of ten. But where do they come from? Who dreams them up? How are they made? How do they work? We sent Gay Search to find out..." In addition to the origins of the aforementioned monsters, the article not only looked at the creation of the seaweed monster from the forthcoming story Fury from the Deep but also looked at the roles of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the BBC's Visual Effects Department in bringing the Doctor's enemies to life — as well as featuring a brief interview with the Head of the BBC's Visual Effects Department, Jack Kine.
