“Throughout the Nineteen-Seventies and Eighties, Lethbridge-Stewart’s unit was characterised by many within the government as having an over-reliance on what one MP described as “a revolving-door of dubiously qualified ‘scientific advisors.’” All of whom he would go on to note, were directly financed by the General Public. In some instances these concerns were evidently fuelled by bigotry and prejudice; Doctors Jensen, Williams, and Shaw are all particularly suited to this category for a number of reasons. However, even ‘traditional’ figures such as Dr. Adam Royston -whose short time with the group was almost expressly designed to placate Westminster- found themselves unfairly hounded due to involvement in incidents well beyond their control.
However when examining official documents it is hard to pretend that the Government's concerns were completely baseless A number of the listed advisors would raise-eyebrows even without the spectre of Michael Magister hanging overhead and it is difficult to understand exactly what possessed Stewart to recruit them given the ready availability of less overtly questionable figures. Blatant aliases such as John St.Myth, L.Z. Sundae, and Capt. C are difficult to excuse, even with Lethbridge-Stewart’s unambiguous praise of Sundae’s decisive actions during the so-called ‘Wenley Moor Incident.’ But these pale in comparison to his inexplicable, and infamously public recruitment of glam-rock icon Vince Cosmos.
For tabloids it was a goldmine, for the government it was an embarrassment, and for fans of the musician it was a sign that he had sold out. Within a month Comos was back in the charts, Lethbridge-Stewart however was not so lucky.” - Extract from James Stevens’ “A Post-War History of the SCS”
