A while back I mentioned that ‘The Android Invasion’ was filmed in East Hagbourne, just up the road from here. In something of an exclusive, here are some photos Emily found in a now defunct Facebook group, including one of Tom Baker holding a cat.
I have no idea who any of these people are, but there’s something curiously satisfying about that second image – and the last one is rather sweet, really. “Although,” says Gareth, “a ‘Tom Baker’ sounds like someone to keep away from cats.”
He adds “If you look for ‘tom baker cat’ on Google Images, you find a lot of pictures of Baker with cats. And also this ‘Dr. Who Neo Traditional cat tattoo’.”
“Neo-traditional…?” we both said. Really, the mind boggles.
The girl with Tom in the cat photo is my sister, Jaqueline (Topsy) Hoskins. She bought some of our kittens up to show Tom.
Oh, how splendid! So do you and your sister have any memories of the BBC visit? Because if you do, then I’m sure people here would love to hear them.
