In November 1963, the time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 1) and his granddaughter were surprised when two of her human teachers followed her home from school and snuck into the aliens’ TARDIS (a space/time machine). Annoyed, the Doctor took the two teachers back to 100,000 BC where they ended up getting mixed up with an early human tribe that had lost the knowledge of fire.

Derek Newark

Stunningly handsome and a great actor as well. He played in everything from violent action (Bellman and True, 1987) to sitcoms (Rising Damp, Only Fools and Horses).

Another of those men who got more attractive as he aged.

A shot from Bellman and True, where he plays an armed robber to perfection.

He didn't always sport a moustache, and was still handsome without one, but why waste time on a clean-shaven Newark when there are so many moustache pictures available.

Beautiful eyes, by the way, and I'm rather partial to his voice as well.

Man in a Suitcase: Blind Spot (1.20, ITC, 1968)

"You know what I have in here?"

"Your lunch?"

"A confidential report concerning you."

"Confidentially, I don't care."

I'm not exactly saying that's the case with this episode (i don't have a specific example of this exact plot being used #previously) but it certainly Feels a little off... it doesn't really have the feel of a MiaS ep‚ and the vibes are more like the kind of #case The Saint may have been involved in. the plot may be a little strung out but it does afford Bradford some moments to shine in a more #playful performance‚ as McGill trades quips and snarky put downs with pretty much every other character; he's also rather sweet in his #dealings with young Felicity Kendal (a newcomer at this point but soon to become sitcom royalty and a tv icon). Goring had been a pretty #successful film star in his day‚ and was still a well known household name; in the 50s he'd both produced and starred in The Adventures of #the Scarlet Pimpernel for ITC‚ and soon after this guest spot he'd land a long running role starring in The Expert for the BBC

“So that’s the contraption, is it?”

The Offence

Released in 1973, to my mind this is not only one of Sydney Lumet's best films but one of Sean Connery's best performances.

To start with, there's the moustache and cigar combo.

You also get the brilliant and handsome Derek Newark (in the background and who's about to get his own post).

As social commentaries go, it pulls no punches and has stood the test of time. In fact, it's as relevant now as it was then - on both sides of the Atlantic - as far as police brutality goes. Brilliant.
