Now Avon (for whatever reason, and for God's sake let's not start that one again) didn't, and he didn't stay either. Now, to play the speculation game a little, if he had stayed either he would have

Good point-- except that they didn't know about that until the following episode. Still, I suppose that's yet another good reason not to take Gamete along-- perhaps, like the Daleks, she needs a high radiation level to survive...
