# Talk:The Space Museum

"Richard Shaw, who spoke with a Cockney accent, was cast as Governor Lobos and asked to deliver his lines with a BBC accent instead."

From this formulation, was Shaw asked to used a BBC accent or did Shaw request that he play Lobos with a BBC accent?  There's no way to know.  Now, if we go with the more awkward construction of:
"Richard Shaw... was cast as Governor Lobos and was asked...."

then it is clear that the decision was not his.

@Duncanrmi: Care to elaborate? – Rhain ☔ 09:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
sure. a quick glance at the main dr who article suggests that budgets were extremely tight for this show, & it was sometimes aired live. the show was recorded on monochrome 2" videotape when it was going to be edited afterwards, but if this was archived at all (& often, infamously, it wasn't), it would have been on 16mm.
almost certainly there was no 35mm during studio production or archiving of this show, though imdb asserts that some vfx shots were 35mm.

@Duncanrmi: Yes, the model shots were filmed on 35 mm. No, the show was never aired live. – Rhain ☔ 22:21, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

This article says the serial first aired from 24 April to 15 May 1965. However, the official Doctor Who website states that it aired from 8 May to 29 May 1965. There's no source in the article, so maybe it should be changed to what doctorwho.tv says. Spectritus (talk) 08:21, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Apparently, it's a mistake on doctorwho.tv. Spectritus (talk) 09:51, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
Definitely appears to be the case—and, to clarify, there is a source in the article. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 11:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
