The Battle of the Cameras

Having just appeared in Fish on the Hook (1964), which aired only two weeks prior, Dawn Addams had her hair cut short, to help give this character an appearance which was as dissimilar as possible from the previous one. Usually, in shows which either use a small pool of actors to appear in various episodes, or (as with the case of just 'regular' Law & Order (1990), as an example, which ran so long, actors were only allowed to appear in an episode once every 2-3 years, so viewers would be less than likely to remember they'd seen them as a different character in an earlier episode). Similarly, AJA Kent (Niall MacGinnis) had also been in an episode (though not as recently as the one Ms Addms was in); the well-remembered Colony Three (1964), as the programme's head, Mr Donovan. In this episode, the character of Kent is reclusive, having been facially maimed (Drake says he heard he had 'acid thrown in his face,... that's why he walks around like the Jack of spades'), and half of his (Kent/MacGinnis') face was covered in a leather facial appliance (frequently used on WWI vets, esp victims of gas attacks, as they had horrible disfigurement) - quite different from the avuncular Mr Donovan of Hamden New Town.
