Pg 140 "Someone had brought Dodo up to be a proper young lady, although a trace of Cockney in her voice suggested she had not always lived in the suburbs." The Massacre. Pg 141 "I imagine myself in the Wild West during a shootout, or else I'm on some sort of ship where there are monsters with only one eye.

"The Sunday Times 'Insight' team of investigative journalists discovered evidence that the Wenley Moor plague was actually the by-product of an attack on the nuclear research facility by the Master Gang." Doctor Who and the Silurians. Pg 183 "The Master Gang was soon blamed for everything from the Mars Probe series of rocket launches ('an attempt to destroy Britain's lead in the space race, thus shattering the credibility of our Empire' thundered the Daily Chronicle's leader the next day) through to the collapse of the World Peace conference in London."
