Another WhoCulture video. Several of these are random and usually brief intrusions by crew members, but I don’t feel like I’m spoiling much by noting that #1 is the justly legendary incident with Malcolm Terris’ splitting pants in “The Horns of Nimon”…
…but I’m more intrigued by an item lower on the list, that being an episode of “The Chase”…
…in which a camera can be seen for a few seconds in the background of this shot. As the narrator says, this probably wouldn’t have been noticed back in the days when the show was shot in b/w 405-line (and being viewed on much smaller screens than we have now) compared to PAL colour… but then never mentions the time the same thing did happen in colour…
…that being “Planet of the Daleks” episode five where you can indeed just about see the camera lurking, and also one of the extras playing a Spiridon, standing at the right of the shot with his fur covering hanging slack and making bugger all effort to move out of shot. A bit odd they brought one up but not the other, and I didn’t see any of the commenters bring it up either (though I did discover a new favourite error, that being a random stagehand’s hand in “Pyramids of Mars”)…
