The Exiles. The villains of the episode
were Cantar and Zova, two outcasts from
the planet Golos, played by Peter Duncan
and Stacy Dorning. "They were supposed
to be very young, and very high tech, so
you needed them to be rather glossy and
rather high tech. So I put them in very
shiny and tight-fitting orange and yellow
fabrics which had symbols on them--
which could have meant anything in the
world." For the sketch I had done some
ideas for Stacy Dorning's hair, but it
didn't work on her. But we did do little
dots on their foreheads."
   Did the tightly fitting costumes prove
uncomfortable for the artistes in the stu-
dio? "They were quite comfortable be-
cause the fabric would stretch all ways. It
would be like getting into a catsuit; it
moves with you."

Androids and Deities

   For One Moment of Humanity Emma
worked with the superb Billie Whitelaw,
who played Zamara, the leader of a race
of sophisticated androids. "We designed
all these make-ups with the dots, and bits
and pieces in the hair. It was supposed to
be a beautiful planet full of beautiful peo-
ple, so it was as much exposure as you
could get within limitations. The men
were all wee proportioned with bare
chests, and the ladies dresses were all to-

tally transparent with body stockings un-
derneath, so when they caught the light
you could see their figures. The whole
thing was very soft and beautiful; the set
designer started that look off and we went
with him. Everything was terribly, dif-
fused--it was very pretty that one."
   Cosmic Magician Magus visited Moon-
base Alpha in New Adam, New Eve, in the
guise of God. "I got some inspiration from
a lot of stained glass windows. We made
him a collar which looked as though it
could be a stained glass effect, although it
was just braids and fabrics sewn on, but it
was very effective. And we had a big
bellowing costume so he looked very god-
like."

   The episode included a number of hide-
ous mutations, which were the results of
Magus's experiments. Emma is very
proud of her endeavours: "We actually
made an entire monster. We made this
man a body suit, and put all these lumps
and bumps onto it and then I hand painted
it afterwards. I shaded ou;bits, and it
looked wonderful."
   Lee Montague guest-starred in Dorzak
as a renegade from Psychon. "We wanted
to make him look as though he had some
armour on, so this was fabric which we
padded behind and stitched through. We
were much into the idea of padding and
sewing on top."

Glamour in Space

   Emma has fond memories of Devil's
Planet,
 a story that featured a band of
glamorous female villains. "They wanted
something striking, as all the ladies were
prison warders and extremely sexy as
well. We came up with these red leotards
