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 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 |
