[edit] Clip at end of The Wheel in Space

Okay, so that clip of Kennedy getting exterminated that's used to introduce the repeat showing at the end of The Wheel in Space -- is it really from the end of episode 1? Maybe it's just that I've got the old 1992 issue of the Evil of the Daleks soundtrack, where it stops after the Dalek says "Answer!", that I assumed you only see Kennedy actually get killed in the episode 2 reprise... in the "real" version, does it still have him get killed in the episode 1 cliffhanger? Or do I need to get out more and stop asking inane questions like this? :-$ Dave-ros 11:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

My source is Restoration Team's article on the Lost in Space DVD which states:

Credits remade. (during which it was discovered that the clip of The Evil of the Daleks comes from the end of episode one rather than the start of episode two, as there are three extra frames of Kennedy at the start of the shot).

I've not seen Wheel 6 for a while - are there perchance two clips from either side of the episode break used? Timrollpickering 13:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

The remastered 2003 CD (with Frazer Hines narration) also stops at "Answer!", and I'd imagine Mark Ayres would have added Kennedy's death onto the end of Episode 1 if it had actually ended like that (some audio recordings started late or stopped early, to save tape space). In short, I don't know either. BillyH 13:28, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To Skaro...

I thought the Doctor and co. travel to Skaro in episode 6 using the Daleks' own short-range time machine (the one they used to travel 1866-1966 that we see in Waterfield's secret room), since the mirror cabinet had been disabled? Mind you, it's impossible to tell just from the soundtrack, and I don't have the photonovel with me to confirm or deny... anyone? Dave-ros 16:40, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Found the BBC online photonovel -- the images don't confirm it, but the narrative does here. I'll edit the article to reflect this... Dave-ros 10:35, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arthur Terral

Probably not the best place to ask this, but here goes anyway: What is the deal with Arthur Terral? Has he been converted by the Daleks? Was he an experiment by Maxtible and Waterfield? I only have the audio CD, and it isn't really explained as to what he is actually up to, other than getting people to do things, and then forgetting that he did. That, and not eating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by StephenBuxton (talk • contribs) 12:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Well since it's a point of confusion I guess it's not totally beyond the boundaries to get it clear here. Terral hasn't been converted but rather a control device has been placed on him (which the Doctor later removes). It seems that the Daleks were experimenting with a way of controlling humans who could pass for normal (and not require processing). Maxtible says he told them the device would never work properly.
