Too Much Information 1.4 - The Firemaker

Another instalment of this painstaking attempt to dissect each episode of Doctor Who, sometimes on a day-to-day basis. The TARDIS crew probably get as grubby as any TARDIS crew ever does in the series, the Doctor takes centre stage, and Ian gets the episode title as the series' first ever adventure comes to a close. Along the way there is ridiculous BBC demarcation about fire (it's not fire that will get us all in the end but red tape), a fight scene directed by the production assistant and the story of two people involved with the making of the episode - one of whom would return to Doctor Who, whilst the other would emphatically not.
