Another bit of Pyramid of Mars trivia for dv:

George Tovey, who played the poacher, was the father of Roberta Tovey, who played little Susan in the Dr who & Daleks films starring peter Cushing.

Interesting. You made me wonder whether Russell Tovey (who was in DW eps Voyage of the Damned and The End Of Time and has been cast in the spinoff series The War Between The Land And The Sea) was also related, but as far as I can find out, he ain’t.

I saw Roberta Tovey on the big screen in Dr Who and the Daleks at the Reading Odeon in 1965. I was six years old and didn’t realise that she was six years older than me.

I watched Dr Who and the Daleks on the BBC either very late 1964 or early 1965, around the time of Churchill’s state funeral, which I also watched on the BBC, somewhere in Dorset (I forget where). We were staying with one of Mum’s school friends, I think.
