WARLOCK’S CROSS WRITTEN BY STEVE LYONS AND DIRECTED BY JAMIE ANDERSON. the Cybermen invasion. About the so-called ‘Doctor’. About what happened all those years ago, at Warlock’s Cross. About the man they keep locked up in a cage, in a secret prison… It’s time. Because UNIT scientific adviser Elizabeth Klein is going to help ensure the truth is brought to light. Today’s the day… that UNIT falls. The Real McCoy: He tries to namedrop Brigadier Bambera but nobody seems to know who she is.

The last thing he ever wanted to be was a soldier but sometimes the threat to your life is so mas*ive that you have to fight back. Klein admits that the Doctor uses people as pawns and sacrifices them if he has to. It’s said in such a matter of fact way that it doesn’t really make much of an impact.

NAZI SCIENTIST: I got the sense that this is in no way the character that Steve Lyons wrote for the Klein trilogy and that he wasn’t
