Uh, Four's standing on a LANDMINE. Don't those usually, you know, go off when you step on them? Luckily for Four, it's usually the way they depicted in this - you trigger it when you step on them, but it only goes off once you release it.
Sarah Jane Smith is blowing my mind right now. She's scaling that scaffolding like nobody's business. AND IN A SKIRT. AND HEELS. And suffering from vertigo, which makes it even braver.
"Excuse me, could you help me? I'm a spy!" Four, I love you.
"YOU! WILL! TELL! ME! YOU! WILL! TELL! ME!" Guys, Davros' screaming is drowning out the CREDIT SCREAM. THAT IS HOW HARDCORE THIS MAN IS. Michael Wisher nailed the character in this one, and made the job of succeeding him in the role a very difficult task indeed. (Of course, all the menace vanishes the minute I'm reminded of what he was wearing underneath that life-supporting chair. :P)
OH GOD ONE OF THE BABIES IS STRANGLING HIM I CAN'T EVEN WHAT This was a last-minute addition, as the speech was meant to be the cliffhanger. You can imagine the outraged reactions that scene caused...
Okay, now you've made me curious: what was he wearing?
Ah yes, that would explain why the speech came at the beginning of the episode. I was wondering what was up with that. It really didn't seem like a beginning-of-the-episode speech.
It might have been - she had trouble carrying on after some point, and Von Klinkerhoffen the Thal who caught her used her vertigo to torment her afterwards.
A kilt - I remember Lis and Tom talking about it and saying he claimed trousers shafed and were just too uncomfortable after spending hours inside that thing. He also wore a bag on his head (and the kilt!) during rehearsals.
I heard about the bag on his head, but not about the kilt (YOUR ICON). Although, considering the part of the Dalek he uses as a wheelchair is sometimes called a "skirt" anyway, it's actually not that hard for me to picture.

And a small bit of silliness:
* Harry being examined by the Thal machine
* Victoria being examined by a Dalek machine
Some things never change...
