Kilt in Dr.Who

**Graham** · 22nd November 04, 06:40 PM

I'm not a great fan but I was watching a re-run of Dr.Who with Tom baker as the doctor.

In an episode called Terror of the Zygons, the leader of an alien race hiding under Loch Ness emerges, keen on a career in politics.(no comment!!)

Anyway, there was a big Highlander wearing a fine looking kilt in the episode, I think it may have been Robert Russell as "The Caber"

It's a fact!
Dr Who was first broadcast on TV on this day in 1963, with William Hartnell playing the role of the Doctor.

I can remember as a kid watching Dr Who from behind the sofa

I hated the Darleks ......Well I did then anyway

It's rather like the way I watch the news these days

Strange but, try as I might, I could never get 'into' "Dr. Who". It all seemed so amateur and childish - like "Blake's Seven"!

mind you, the doctor did have a companion at one stage called Jamie, a highland lad who permanantly wore a kilt. He was a big hit with the ladies apparently.

here he is in the programme,

and as he is today.
