Alright... one is "Blake's 7's The City on the Edge of For..." no
wait... um "City on the Edge of the World." Gosh.. its a terrible
coincidence how simular those titles are. :-)

As for the second... the mighty IMDb is unable to help me. I'll make a
wild stab in the dark and say ... not the Avenger's episode. Probably not
the Sapphire and Steele episode. Juliet Bravo? Oh, I don't know. What
is the second one?

Which one was in the Sapphire and Steel episode: Valentine Dyall or Colin
B? I hope it's an episode I actually have.

He's a radio voice in Adventure 5. I think he was also the voice of Time
(or whatever that voice was) in Adventure 3, but there was no credit for
it.

Correct.

I'm not so sure about this. The voice sounds similar to Dyall's, but not
identical. Not to my ears, anyway.

Now, what other DW/S&S personnel crossovers can we think of? Of course,
David Collings (Silver) had prominent roles in "Revenge of the Cybermen,"
"The Robots of Death," and "Mawdryn Undead"...and then, Edward DeSouza (Marc
Cory, from "Mission to the Unknown") was in the final S&S adventure, playing
a character who is purportedly a human from 1946, but turns out to be
something else entirely...

And on the production side, Don Houghton ("Inferno," "The Mind of Evil") and
Tony Read ("The Horns of Nimon") co-wrote Adventure Five, the only S&S
serial not to have been written by P.J. Hammond (and which, as a conseqence,
is unusally bright and cheery by S&S standards, despite the series of
semi-gruesome "murders" that are depicted). And PJH himself was to have
written the third segment of "The Trial of a Time Lord," until JNT decided
to give the job to his buddies Pip 'n' Jane. So instead of "Paradise Five,"
we got "Terror of the Vervoids." Yecch.

Just imagine if Hammond had been given the job of writing episode 14, after
R. Holmes had died and E. Saward had quit...it would've been Surrealism
City, with nary a megabyte modum in sight!

I deny this reality. The reality is a computation matrix.

Well, it _was_ surreal, but you're right, an absence of mm's _would_
have been nice...

On a related subject, my story in PERFECT TIMING 2 is a 4Doc and Romana
heavily influenced by S&S ...

And then there's.......

Charles Pemberton, the briefly seen policeman in Story 1 (nursery rhymes)
was a Cyberman in 'Tomb' and an Alien Technician in 'War games'.

Tom Kelly, Pierce in Story 2, was in 'Face of Evil', 'Sunmakers' and
'Invasion of Time'.

Philip Bird, 'face' in Story 4 (pictures) was a Swampie extra in 'Kroll'.
Bob Horney in the same story appeared as the Pilot in 'Nimon'.

Jeffrey Wickham from Story 5 (murder mystery) was the dying Webster in
'Reign of Terror'.
Story 5's Peter Laird was Chang in 'Wheel in Space'.
