[color=#000000ost_uid0]By the way, for non-Who fans out there (which seems to be just about everyone), the reference to the controls being written on in magic marker is for real. In the third episode of Doctor Who, the crucial plot point turns out to be that one of the controls is stuck. When we finally get a shot of the control, you can clearly see the label for it, "Fast Return Switch," is [iost_uid0]scrawled on the console in black marker.[/iost_uid0]

I mention this because you laugh about the low budget for Classic Trek (Matt Jeffries spray-painting styrofoam packing and sticking it to the wall, etc.)--well, early Doctor Who wishes it had a Classic Trek budget![/colorost_uid0]
