[edit] Idea rediscovery
Later, assistant script editor Terrance Dicks found the story in the production office files when clearing a backlog, and decided to develop it with Holmes as a personal project, in case other scripts fell through.
My DWM collection is miles away, but my recollection of the 1994 Winter Special (devoted to Holmes) is that it reproduces Holmes' 1968 attached submission letter and that a) the story may have been submitted to Donald Tosh rather than Gerry Davis; and b) it was Holmes who rediscovered it in his own files and decided to resubmit it (with a "if it's not suitable, don't bother returning it"). Can anyone check for sure? Timrollpickering 14:55, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Story replaced
According to Frazer Hines in an interview on the CD of The Invasion, the episode that was replaces later evolved into The Worm That Turned on The Two Ronnies.
The story was "The Prison in Space" by (IIRC) Dick Sharples and a synopsis appeared in two issues of Doctor Who Magazine in the late # 190s. Is there any evidence that Sharples took the idea to The Two Ronnies? A future where the gender power balance has been inverted is a relatively common feature in fiction and I wonder if Hines based his comments on anything other than the similarities.

- According to the interview, Frazer received information (I think it might have been in a form of the revised script) that the original storyline had been utilised in The Prison in Space. He does not quote the source exactly (and at the moment, I cannot remember the exact phrasing he used), but it does sound like the the source was a reliable one. He never mentioned the magazine. Has anyone got a copy of The Invasion CD to hand so that they can listen again to the interview? StephenBuxton 13:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kroton (doctor who).jpg
Image:Kroton (doctor who).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
