Ha ha I only just realised than Bannakafalatta is played by the same actor as The Graske AND the Moxx of Balhoun, AND the space pig from Aliens of london ANNND the child slitheen from SJA!!

Yes, his name is Jimmy Vee

The man must have a very healthy bank balance.

he was the best character in VOTD, by far. shame RTD killed him off.

He was by far my favourite character in VOTD. apart from the doctor himself, but that always goes without saying

I prefered Foon and her husband to Banakaffalata.
They seemed so sweet.

Still, as Mr T would say, I pity the Foon...

Mr T would probably marry the Foon.

He was a cool little dude. Probably be second in the list, If I had to choose a robotic assistant in real life. R2-D2 would be my number one

Doesn't explain why so many aliens are small, we've not seen any 8ft tall ones have we!
Heightist!!!!

Seriously though it does get annoying as you start to think of the actor and their previous roles not what they are supposed to be now.

Bring back Foon!

Don't know about 8ft aliens, but the creatures in cowls from End of the World seemed pretty tall.

chuff.x.

Would metal mickey be anywhere on your list ?

I guess plenty of Atomic Thunderbusters would be needed to have Metal Mickey as an assistant.

Probably vying with Tweaky from Buck Rodgers for third place.
