Good day all,
With the recent references to the Sand episode, and in particular to Tarrant and Servie getting all mushy, it has reminded me of something that I have been wondering about for a while.
Servalan, near the end, makes a reference to herself as the girl next door, to which Tarrant responds that he should move next door.
My question, to those who might know more about the history of the writing of this episode, is this - Was this a deliberate reference to the Hammer Film, The Reptile, where the slinky girl next door was played by Jacqueline Pearce herself? And if so, who inserted it?
What a pity Tarrant wasn't a fan of those ancient flat projection entertainments, then he might have known better than to take up her offer ... >;-)
Catch you later,
Walter Minne
