THE ideal person Larry Grayson.

Can you imagine him saying " Shut that door " when he enters the Tardis!---A. Reynolds, Brentwood, Essex.
BENNY from Crossroads would be great.
If it were an actress, Doris Luke from the same series.—H. Sandhu, Swindon, Wilts.
HOW about Ron Moody ? He is a good character actor, and has just the right amount of madness for the part.—Mrs M. Benham, Bassett, Southampton.
JOHN Cleese should get the part,
No Dalek in his right mind would start and intergalactic incident with Basil Fawlty, especially if Sybil played his assistant.
I don't think I can picture Manuel playing Que-Nine ! — Stephen Orris, Ipswich, Suffolk.
WOULD it he possible for me to play the part?
