Terry Nation tells several stories. My favorite is that he just invented
the name but so many people asked how came up with the name he later invented
a story that one volume of his encyclopedea was "DAL-EK".

Really Trivial Question:
In one episode of "Inferno", the doctor (Jon Pertwee) and the brigadier
are in the bragadier's office listening to a (nasty little) radio.
They listen, quite briefly, to a news reader.
Who played the news reader?
