This is interesting. On Disc 4 (The Story and Interstellar discs) there’s a feature called Reality War Companion Catch-up. It’s interview with Varada and Carole Ann that was posted on YouTube. But it’s telling it was originally made for The Reality War.

Just arrived and it’s the hardback versions of the Terrance Dicks book rather than the paperback depicted on on the Zavvi website.
£10 for the three books + £2 postage. An absolute bargain.
The paperback of just 1 Dicks volume alone cost £13 on Amazon!!!!

Based on your suggestions, I've expanded my original list for potential candidates.
I decided not to include anyone who is deceased who may have possibly be banked.
I also feel it's a shame Matthew Waterhouse missed out on one, so I shoe-horned him in with S21.

Let’s try something different. I’ve always enjoyed the James Bond films but I’ve only seen about half a 8 or so in full and never in order. It’s about time I try watching the films in order properly. From Dr No to No Time to Die. I’ll let you know my thoughts on each one.
