Terry Scott's 1962 record "My Brother" opens with a "Phwoah".

He must have done it on telly at some point by 1972.

The only time Davina McCall was tolerable was when she dressed up as a cat on the Ray Cokes show.

Dedication's what you need....

That's my suspicion. If she's already expressed a problem, perhaps after ep 1. They found a few quid to buy in something else. Or maybe she brought in her own clothes and used those.

Here's her sole costume description, for the filming.

David Brunt @davidbrunt.bsky.social · 1d

There's a few surviving costume sheets for Web, though typically they're only for the filming and ep 1-2.

An episode later and it might have shown if the costume change was planned or not.

And the Cybermen between filming and studio for Wheel.

David Brunt @davidbrunt.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, it's possible she did.

But on a weekly turnaround I wonder if they'd have had time to get a major costume overhaul chosen, fitted and used. Though I suppose it would have been far easier to get an off the peg custume than having a sci-fi costume made.

How much tax did he pay/avoid when he did live in the UK?

Especially when the episode was 22 minutes.

I doubt actors would have had that sort of power.

Given that most of the costumes were old army stock uniforms, the designer would just have had a bit of spare money available.

Time had passed between those two scenes, enough time for her to have a shower and change. She may have had a room there.

The Morgue programme is only 50 minutes, not 55. So there'll be some fudging around there. The news may gain a few extra minutes.
