If Rob's The Doctor, I guess that obviously makes Jim  The Master.  I suppose then that leaves Martin as the immortal Captain Jack.  Yeah, I can see him as the wordless "Face of Boe".

I'm putting the sequence of bass players in as the string of disposable sidekicks ... Adric, Leela, Rose, K9 ...

Ahem ... and Davros would be ... ?  :D

All in the name of Jesting now ...

But the editing of the Capitol Video happened in 1982, not when the DVD was released in 2004.  Since it also featured other edits, apparently to fit a one-hour TV broadcast, that's what I assume happened with Brave Faces.  Regardless of how Pete's new political reality jibes (or doesn't) with various Oils lyrics, I doubt the band had the foresight to self-censor a song 20 years before it could become controversial for the now-elected Pete! ;-)

Because saying "the talk of politicians, the sentences of cynics, are the sentences of childhood - they're all talking shit to me" was clearly a bridge to far given the modern context.  Much safer to use the end of the second verse "well it makes no sense to me".  Its nothing more than self censorship.  Disappointing but completely predictable.

   I have always wondered why the audio version of Brave Faces on Scream In Blue has the second verse, but the Capitol video of the the exact same song has the second verse edited out??
