 For the first time , Kneale used a character from a previous serial other than Quatermass himself , the journalist James Fullalove from The Quatermass Experiment . The production team had hoped that Paul Whitsun @-@ Jones would be able to reprise the part ; he was unavailable and Brian Worth was cast instead . Michael Ripper appeared as an army sergeant ; he had been in Hammer Film Productions ' adaptation of the second Quatermass serial , Quatermass 2 , the previous year . The drama also featured future Dad 's Army actress Nan Braunton as Miss Dobson .

 Simon Archer and Marcus Hearn , authors of What Made Thunderbirds Go ! The Authorised Biography of Gerry Anderson ( 2002 ) register a divergence from earlier Supermarionation productions stemming from The Secret Service being less " American @-@ orientated " and comprising fewer action sequences . They consider it the " most eccentric " of all the Supermarionation series up to 1969 , and the fusion of puppets and live actors the " natural conclusion " to the filming technique . The writers bestow particular praise on the characterisation of Mrs Appleby , whose ignorance of Unwin and Harding 's involvement with British Intelligence adds to the comedy : for example , when Father Unwin speaks into his communications device that is disguised as a hearing aid , the housekeeper thinks that the apparently senile vicar is muttering to himself . The episodes " A Question of Miracles " , in which the miniaturised Matthew is dwarfed by articles of food and drink from a picnic basket , and " Last Train to Bufflers Halt " , whose plot concerns an unstoppable runaway train , are also well received . Stephen La Rivière , author of Filmed in Supermarionation : A History of the Future , favours " More Haste Less Speed " : describing the series finale as " wonderfully quirky " and " glorious " , he sees the counterfeiting plot as being reminiscent of the " gentler , earlier days of Supercar " , also praising Keith Alexander for his voice acting of the part of the elderly Lady Hazlewell .

 In 2011 , he starred in The Adjustment Bureau , Contagion , and We Bought a Zoo . In April 2012 , Damon filmed Promised Land , directed by Gus Van Sant , which he co @-@ wrote with John Krasinski . Damon 's next film with frequent collaborator Steven Soderbergh was Behind the Candelabra , a drama about the life of pianist / entertainer Liberace ( played by Michael Douglas ) with Damon playing Liberace 's longtime partner Scott Thorson . The film premiered on HBO on May 26 , 2013 .

 According to an interview with executive producer and episode writer Russell T Davies in Doctor Who Magazine , this episode was originally offered to his friend and former colleague , the critically acclaimed and award @-@ winning scriptwriter Paul Abbott . Abbott accepted and submitted a storyline , revealing that Rose had been bred by the Doctor as an experiment in creating a perfect companion . The episode was titled " The Void " . However , Abbot had to abandon the project due to other commitments . Davies wrote " Boom Town " instead , bringing back Badland as Blaine due to her performance in " Aliens of London " and " World War Three " being " brilliant " , though she had few lines . The actor playing Mr Cleaver , William Thomas , had previously appeared as Martin the undertaker in the 1988 classic series story Remembrance of the Daleks . This made him the first performer to appear in both the original and current run of Doctor Who . He later played Geraint Cooper , the father of Gwen Cooper , in the Doctor Who spinoff series Torchwood .
