Then have 10% of my indignation...

thisbluespiritSince I apparently have no brain whatsoever for anything that isn't Public Eye still (sorry!), I might as well amuse you with a couple of screencaps of things that entertained me:
Brian Croucher. Who dunnit, obviously. (I think he's actually talking about Marker being a funny little hen, pecking around, but never mind...)
And then Marker goes shopping. Which is fine when on location in Brighton, with real shops with real names. He even decides against a garish floral shirt, unlike other Thames TV heroes we could mention.
It's just the second they get back into the studio and you leave things up to set designers that things like this happen:
(This made me laugh the most of anything in the entire series. I hope you appreciate my forays into the TV archives, solely to find you things like this.)
Also Mrs Mortimer (Pauline Delany) totally knows how awesome she is, because she is. She's also thanks to the reuse and recycle policy of 1960s TV casting, as I have just now learned, the spitting image of the woman who (I sincerely hope) is the scariest woman Marker ever met. No wonder he was a bit wary when he first saw her...
As for the rest, I'm still at a defensively incoherent state. Can I have someone up on charges of negligence or wilful damage or something for burninating the other 1960s episodes? asdfghjk again. fghjkl. Anyway, I'll try and make sure I screen cap Carole Ann Ford as a prostitute for you, though. (Yup, this is totally the sort of thing I have been watching. I'm not a bit sorry, although I would quite like my brain back now, please. Or at least some sort of explanation as to how this show managed to run off with it, because I don't have one.)

I've heard of this infamous Carole Ann Ford as a prostitute scene before (and not just because you were mentioning it). Apparently a concerned parent called the BBC to complain after because they thought that any children watching might think it was Doctor Who and be confused and corrupted by Susan's activities. And the fall-out of this basically killed Carol Ann Ford's acting career.

I'd have thought her dodgy Yorkshire accent in it would have been more detrimental to her prospects. After all, she does not end well! Also, this surely has to have been a post-watershed show, so what conscientious parents would be letting their child watch a downbeat adult drama that quite often featured difficult topics? (However, I have to say, the fact that it's Philip Madoc trying to get hold of her does lead to the idea of it being some twisted up dark Susan fic in which she's gone back in time, embittered after being dumped on Earth in the future, and is being pursued by the War Lord, who wants to use her against the Time Lords. Probably not, though. ;-D)
