I have just seen 'City of Death' this past weekend for the third time
and would like to pass along a bit of interesting trivia.

For all Monty Python fans John Cleese appeared in a cameo role in this
episode and was actually very funny although he was onscreen for just a
few minutes. I attended the February Dr. Who convention in Phila.
this past winter and had the pleasure of meeting Tom Baker. I was curious
as to how John Cleese managed to get in the story so I asked the Doctor.

And true to my suspicions Mr. Baker told me that he had met John Cleese
in the BBC cafeteria during a break in the shooting and invited him
to appear in the episode albeit in just a cameo.

For any of you who haven't seen this story yet (though how any true
Dr. Who fans could manage to miss a 5 year old story) be sure not to
miss it it one of Baker's very best (in my opinion second only to
Logopolis as the very best).
