"I've heard a particularly childish rumour that I have spent my life doing nothing but collecting fascinating Doctor Who materials and writing fascinating technical articles. This is nonsense. I have started this "album" to show you some of the photographs from my private archive which prove, beyond a shadow of a h-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l doubt that I have lived a full and interesting life."
---(Dennis Brent, Bendaton, 2003)

This first snap shows me at the Woodstock music festival.
 

I was rather pleased to find this snap while looking for a canister of film which included an outtake from The Sensorites (where William Hartnell called Peter Glaze a "****ing half ****ed ****wit"). It was taken when I interviewed the "Fabulous Four" for the special "Popular Culture" edition of Mucky Devastation.
 

At my many events to which the public are invited, I am often asked the question "Mr Brent, why were you never in Doctor Who?" Some of these perceptive proles have seen my performances with the Bendaton Players, others merely see my noble posture and assume I am a professional. I generally fend their question off with a lengthy anecdote about the time Sylvester McCoy mistook me for a traffic warden and beat me about the head with my own sensible satchel and they soon lose interest.

But at last I am free to expose the truth.

I never appeared in "Doctor Who" because NASA insisted I do nothing to trivialise my genuine moon expedition.

I know you are thinking "Mr Brent has had one too many small glasses of sherry" <g>

Here is the proof. Bare in mind that I was a few years younger in those days.

I once showed this snap to Grantham and he quipped "Isn't standing on Ian Devine rather a h-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l thing to do, Dennis Brent?" and we all roared.

Mr Dicksniff, the local chemist, says he will have another batch processed before too long so you've something to look forward to.
