(Far) Too Much Information Bonus Episode – now with pictures!

If you enjoyed my podcast on the Class of ’63 – the schoolkid extras in Doctor’s Who‘s untransmitted pilot and the first episode of Doctor Who – then hopefully these accompanying images will be of interest. Pop to your podcast provider to enjoy the episode. It is on iTunes here. It is part of Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels in the strand (Far) Too Much Information. There is more information if you subscribe to my Patreon page.

Here are the school kids (thanks to Joe Lidster for the graphics and screen grabs from the episode, which he originally compiled for the Quiz of Rassilon, and to Shaquille le Vescomte and Rhys Williams):
