If you're allowed, I think you can play episode two. Lots of England-centred culture references from the 1990s that I barely remember, so good luck. As far as I can make out, a pair of crazed museum curators from the future are interfering with great art and achievement in history so that the only place you can get that culture is their museum. They pick on their victim just as their gifts flower, and wreck things for them. One of their first victims was Chesney Hawkes. This is in the story, I mean.

Across the pond, though, she was the Bionic Woman in the short-lived remake... Which I'm guessing is where most folks here will know her from.

As to Pitch Black, that was pretty much my first thought on seeing this. Particularly given the prominent soundbite about "Three suns". I'm betting the Doctor won't be shanking any monstrosities with a personal grooming appliance, though...
