"Favour the return of Sabalom Glitz" - Guards, take this man away to the

Sil was a good laugh, quite like the old mafia baddies of old, Ie: a
pretty pathetic little person who inspires fear in bigger men through
such force of personality.  The guy who plays him is quite a Doctor Who
fan, Nabil Shaban I think.
I'm not sure about the Doctor going down the conspricy X-Files route
though.  How long before we have Grace calling into her mobile phone
every 5 mins... "Dooccctor where arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrree you?" :)))
Perhaps the well manicured man could turn out to be the Master's 13
regeneration ;) in a X-Files/Who Fox crossover episode.
