One of the stalwart background extras of Doctor Who, and always giving a believable performance either with or without dialogue, and as friend or foe, Pat Gorman certainly became a memorable 'Primord' monster too, as seen here in the truly excellent Jon Pertwee opening season gem, Inferno. A massive seven parter, the story holds its momentum well, thanks to the insertion of the intriguing and violent Parallel Earth plot linked to the heightened end of the world atmosphere overall brought to the story by writer Don Houghton with director Douglas Camfield (with Barry Letts), alongside a cast playing things to tremendous conviction.
Inferno lives up to its status as both an All Time Classic Who, and TV great, after fifty years...
