An Interview with Jeremy Bulloch

Jeremy Bulloch started his illustrious and successful acting career in 1950 at the tender age of 5 when he appeared in his first school play and hasn't looked back since.  Destined for the acting profession he attended the Corona Academy Drama School, and made his first professional appearance aged twelve when he appeared in a breakfast cereal commercial.

Appearing many times on children's television, Jeremy's big break came in 1963 at the age of just 17 when he landed a major role in Summer Holiday, which starred Sir Cliff himself. Not long after this, he became a household name by starring in a BBC Soap Opera called The Newcomers, which ran for 3 years. In 1969, Jeremy was off to Madrid in Spain to play the leading role in a musical film called Las Leandras and this was followed by two other major films:  The Virgin and the Gypsy (1970) and Mary Queen of Scots (1971).

Season 2 - William Hartnell - The Space Museum

 

‘The Space Museum was aired in 1965 as part of the second season of Doctor Who featuring William Hartnell as the cranky by lovable Time Lord. This episode, which aired as 4 25 minute long parts, centred on the story of a planet named Xeros which had been taken under the tyrannous rule of a race known as the Moroks who used the planet as a venue to house a museum which paid tribute to the battles they had fought and won as the reached out to conquer the stars. 

There is a really sinister back story to the Moroks and their rule, you learn that they attacked the peaceful Xerons using weapons that were far superior to those of the planets occupants then, once they had Xeros secured, they then organised a mass genocide of all Xerons except for the children. The Children were then drafted into slavery, forced to work to maintain the museum until such time as they came of age. Once the children were considered grown up they would be shipped off to other planets in the Morok empire to undergo other kinds of work, ensuring that there could not be an uprising on Xeros. 

The Doctor and his companions (Vicki, Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton) arrive on Xeros and find that nothing seems quite right, their clothes have changed, their feet leave no footprints in the dust on the earth, they cannot touch any of the exhibits in the museum nor can they be seen by the staff and then to top it all off they come across display cabinets which appear to house exact clones of themselves in some kind of state of preservation. The Doctor surmises that the Tardis had a bit of trouble on landing and has accidentally jumped a time track resulting in a few minutes where their timelines became misaligned. It is upon the Doctor making this discovery that the time track slips back into place and our heroes find themselves exposed and vulnerable to capture.
