There they find a hidden stasis leak where the past has leaked into the room and which acts as a doorway to the past, to a little while before the crew all died in the Cadmium II leak three million years earlier.

Background Information[]
- The character was played by Joe Riding.
- As seen in the deleted scenes for the episode, the original take was much more explicit, since a male model was hired who didn't mind getting naked in front of the live studio audience. However in the interests of taste, the scene was re-shot with Joe Riding, who covered up for the scene. (Deleted scenes and Series II Collector's Booklet)
