My costumes are part of a “quiet uprising” among women, says Handmaid’s Tale designer
In an exclusive interview with Dezeen, costume designer Ane Crabtree talks about her work on dystopian TV show The Handmaid’s Tale, and how the blood-red capes she created have become a symbol of protest among women.
As lead costume designer on the American TV series, Crabtree, 53, designed a range of visually striking garments. These have since been worn by women in protests all over the world.https://www.pinterest.com/powerpoint_templates/music-and-movie-powerpoint-templates/
“There is a quiet uprising that has been started,” she said.
It is set in a near-future USA, in a time when fertility rates have collapsed. As a result, the few remaining fertile women are held captive by the new Gilead government as “handmaids” and forced to bear children for the ruling elite.
The handmaids are always dressed in red floor-length capes and dresses, and have to wear white bonnets when they leave their homes – similar to outfits that women wore a century ago.
Since the show premiered in May, activists in Ohio have worn the costumes while staging a protest against a bill placing more restrictions on abortion, and Polish women have donned the attire to show their contempt for President Trump’s visit to their country.
“My jaw dropped open – it’s jarring and emotional to see them use these costumes,” Crabtree told Dezeen. “The thing that’s so intensely poetic for me is that women are coming together and they’re finding power in a uniform that was meant to hinder them and imprison them – that to me is the perfect outcome.”
The TV series is based on a novel by Margaret Atwood published in 1985, and has been adapted and directed by a largely female creative team.
As per the book, Crabtree used colour to distinguish each character. Handmaids in red, commanders and “eyes” (undercover operatives) in black, commanders’ wives in blue, “guardians” (security forces) in navy, “marthas” (servants) in green and “econowives” (lower-class wives) in grey.
But she was keen to put her own “dark and dystopian” spin on these shades, which would be reflective of the nature of the programme while also differentiating her work from that of its previous film adaptation.
“We knew we couldn’t do the primary red and blue, because it’s distinctive of the 90s film,” she said. “We tweaked the colour knowing what camera was going to be used, and that it was going to be a dark and dystopian world.”
The show has gone on to be nominated for 13 Emmy awards, one of which is for Crabtree’s costume design. Its successful reception has been attributed to its timeliness in terms of the current political climate.
At the time of filming The Handmaid’s Tale, America was in the midst of the presidential election – which eventually saw Donald Trump become the country’s 45th president.
Crabtree says the turn of events, inevitably, affected her process – particularly when the scripts began to mirror what was happening in the real world.
“[We began filming] two months before our new Gilead commander got elected in the US, so by November my own design mind had started to shift – the event fuelled me,” she said. “The alignment between the script and what was happening in real life was incredible.”
Crabtree spoke to Dezeen ahead of the filming of the second season of The Handmaid’s Tale. The designer was born in Kentucky to Japanese immigrant parents, and lived in housing projects until she moved to the UK to study Shakespeare and art at Harlaxton College.
She worked in fashion for a number of years before moving into film in the late 80s – her first project being on a music video by Oscar-nominated Macedonian director Milcho Manchevski.
Since then, Crabtree has designed costumes for shows including Masters of Sex, The Sopranos and Westworld, and is now directing her own documentary and short film.
Read an edited version of the transcript from our interview with Ane Crabtree below.
Alice Morby: How did you get on board with The Handmaid’s Tale?
Ane Crabtree: I read the book years ago and I’d seen the film when it first came out in 1990 – I remember being haunted by it. My agent said they were making a series about this, and I met with Bruce Miller, the show’s creator, and Warren Littlefield – the executive producer.
Bruce had seen my work on Masters of Sex. He said he knew the costumes were going to be a big deal with Handmaid’s Tale, and he wanted someone who knew how to make things from scratch to create something new.
It was exciting that he was so into the costumes, and also that he really wanted something new, as there’s been so many versions of the story. Because of this, I knew that I wouldn’t want to replicate history of what had gone down before.
I read the book years ago and I’d seen the film when it first came out in 1990 – I remember being haunted by it.
I was also drawn to the project due to the fact that Elizabeth Moss was the lead. When Top of The Lake came out, I watched all of that – I’d never seen Lizzie in anything before it, although she’s been around forever. I remember thinking that she is really something special.
Alice Morby: What references did you draw on for your designs?
Ane Crabtree: It was really all over the place. I did dive into the book for old time’s sake and looked at images from the film, but I stopped immediately because I realised that it was a very specific visual take.
In the book, it’s about not having any money and not having the usual things that we’re accustomed to. I tried to come at that from a place of reality. The folks of Gilead aren’t going to have a lot of clothing. They’re going to have pieces they can work in, get cleaned and wear every day. They’d have two outfits maximum.
I then started looking at imagery from the 1900s and the 1990s. I remember the 90s being a moment when we were saying it was “the future”, and wondering what that would look like. I looked to many cultures where people dress the same, as well as uniforms throughout time.
Joseph Fiennes’ commander character is someone who is full of idealism and ideology, and I think that kind of person in his inner-self is quite like Hitler. There’s this idealistic eye, a nationalistic eye – all of that went into this in terms of design.
Overall, I knew that I didn’t want this show to look dated five years from now, so I wanted everything to be quite classic.
Alice Morby: Can you tell me about your use of colour?
Ane Crabtree: The roots of the colour are in the book itself. The handmaids are in red, the commanders’ wives are in blue, and so on. We tweaked the colour knowing what camera was going to be used, and that it was going to be a dark and dystopian world.
We knew we couldn’t do the primary red and blue, because it’s distinctive of the 90s film. Reed Morano, the director, has a brilliant cinematography background and she felt that there’s something quite beautiful in 50s Technicolour films. The 50s period also spoke to us in terms of the conservatism of the time, so we looked further into that.
Having spent time talking about the Technicolour thing, Reed suggested going to darker – so it’d be Technicolour but more moody. I like deeper colours, I think they look more poignant and dark and dystopian.
Reed showed me a photo of very dark maple leaves, and then the sky beyond it was quite dark and teal. She said this is it, this is like the handmaids and wives. We started with those two colours, but we also wanted to make sure it was realistic, so that’s where the different tones came in. There’s more tonal variation in the commanders’ wives, because they can afford to have different tailors.
Alice Morby: How did you choose the colours?
In the book, marthas were always in green. I found a photo of a moth that’s a fading green colour, and that to me felt very much like the marthas. It’s not what one would consider to be a beautiful intense colour, but it fades in with the environment – which is the idea for the marthas, fading in to the household so that they don’t stand out. They’re a support system; they’re basically a servant.
I used black for the commanders and the eyes, which came from the book. I wanted a non-colour that was all-powerful, and would absorb all the other colours – the darkest and most foreboding thing in the frame.
Beyond that it was a military approach. The guardians underneath them are in navy, as they’re the ones who are less of the mental muscle like the eyes, but more of the physical muscle.
In a military way, the aunts are this brownish colour that came from British WWI uniforms.
The colour only colour I made up was the econowives – they’re in grey. But in the book they’re portrayed to be multicoloured strips. The colour went with the greyness of Gilead too.
The alignment between the script and what was happening in real life was incredible
There’s pink for the little girls, for Hannah, you see the pink cape. It’s a byproduct and faded version of the handmaids’ red. The children would all be in red but with remnants of pinks and blues because it’s conservative, but reflective of them being the children of handmaids.
In the end. I thought to myself, how did we do all that?! How did we get all that done. You cannot dissect all that you have to do, you just have to start jumping in order to not be overwhelmed by it.
Alice Morby: How do you feel about the costumes being used as a symbol of protest?
Ane Crabtree: I humbly admit that I was just hired to be a costume designer – and this has never happened in my career in this way, in an important political way.
We started making the costumes in July, I started sketching in May, and then we began shooting in September. So it was two months before our new Gilead Commander got elected in the US. By November, my own design mind started to shift – the event fuelled me. I returned home, and NARAL – a pro-choice charity – contacted me to ask for help because they wanted to protest in the senate.
My jaw dropped open; I was so humbled by their strength. I had to say I cannot do this for you, but I can suggest how to do this quickly. From that moment, every time there was a protest in the US, or more recently in Poland, it’s jarring and emotional to see them use these costumes. The thing that’s so intensely poetic for me is that women are coming together and they’re finding power in a uniform that was meant to hinder them and imprison them – that to me is the perfect outcome.
Alice Morby: What was it like to be a woman working on this show?
Ane Crabtree: My memories of it were very fast. Unfortunately you can’t appreciate all that’s happening because the pace is so quick. After November [when the US election was held], myself, creator Bruce Miller, writer Eric Tuchman and actors Lizzie Moss and Yvonne Strahovski had a sitting. There were a few Americans on the show, and we were in this state of shock on the day that it happened. We came to work, and oddly the scripts were beginning to totally mirror what was happening day to day in the press. It was too much. It fuelled things, but it was really painful. I remember just crying.
I went into a barber shop near where we were filming, and I remember hearing all the people in there just bashing Americans for voting him in. I just kept my mouth shut – I didn’t want them to know I was American, I was embarrassed.
Alice Morby: Do you think the political context is what pushed the show to becoming so successful?
Ane Crabtree: It’s hard to say, it’s a bit of a head scratcher, but we absolutely knew it was important. The alignment between the script and what’s happening in real life is incredible.
Alice Morby: So how did you end up getting into costume design?
Ane Crabtree: I didn’t have a classic journey into costume design. I was a kid from Henderson, Kentucky and grew up in the projects. I grabbed at any kind of art that came my way, because I had an inkling that I was okay at that. I didn’t study theatre because I was too shy. I went to study Shakespeare and art at Harlaxton College in England during the punk era, so for a very quiet kid of an immigrant to go to school in England where there was more than one newspaper – my whole world opened up. I just aligned with the politics and the fashion of the time.
One of my teachers was Lady Wedgwood, she was so instrumental in getting me interested in art history. She was this eccentric woman who married a Wedgwood, but her big love was history. Then I went from there to FIT in New York, where I studied fashion, which was incredibly helpful for what I do.
I have felt that as a byproduct of this show, there is a quiet uprising that has been started
I started working in film in between 1989 and 1990. I didn’t talk about my education, because it didn’t apply. I wasn’t a film student; I didn’t do theatre at Harvard like the other costume design people. I felt like a fake to say I was a costume designer.
On my birthday, I was broke. I contacted Macedonian director Milcho Manchevski, who I still know to this day, and he gave me my first music video job. He then started doing this film with Joseph Fiennes, called Dust, and he asked me to do it.
But all of these experiences have been very instrumental in me being a costume designer. When I look at my work now, I see all of these moments come up. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t go to Harvard or Yale to study theatre – I still love theatre; it just didn’t happen that way.
Alice Morby: In film, figures show that women make up a majority only in costume and wardrobe departments and casting. Why is this, do you think?
Ane Crabtree: I don’t know – and I am the biggest tomboy on earth, and I always say don’t call me one of the “vanities”. It’s country-wide, I think that women have been relegated to the jobs that others think are female. Of course it’s changing really slowly.
I think it’s because of history, and men being in power for as long as film and TV has been around. It’s changing now, thank god, because certain people have big mouths and can open doors for others. I’ve been lucky to have a friend, Mimi Leder, who’s a female director, and she was the first to graduate from AFI [American Film Institute].
Alice Morby: How do you think the industry will change in the next 10 years?
Ane Crabtree: In 10 years, I hope there is no diminution. I hope that there’s good, smart people who happen to be of any sex. Women are powerful and formidable, and we’re threatening for a lot of men – so I see why they’ve said, “oh no, you should be in make-up” or “you should be a mum, not working”. But even in my lifetime, at 53, I’ve seen the role of men change. We’ve gone backwards in many ways recently, but I’m hopeful that I see a change in men or anyone that has the upperhand or the power.
In the US, white men have all the power. We’re seeing it with the regime that’s happening now, yet those facades crumble – it just takes time. With every step forward, like having a black president, there’s always going to be a backlash. So you take a few steps back and then you try again, every time.
I have felt that as a by-product of this show, and of course it’s fantasy – it’s a TV show. But there is a quiet uprising that has been started, that I adore.

Just because it’s on American TV doesn’t mean there’s an uprising.
Having recently binge watched the entire series I can say that the costume design is something that sets and secures this dystopian drama from the very outset. The entire production is superb, from script to acting to design to photography. I find it chilling that women are using the handmaid’s costume as a protest garment, perhaps because that is exactly the way in which Trump objectifies women.
There is absolutely no relation between a dystopian TV show about controlling the lives of fertile woman and Trump’s behavior. Anyone making that connection is falling victim to wishful thinking. It is in our nature to demonize a group or person we do not agree with. Do not stoop to such levels.
Sorry Joel, but Trump is the ultimate objectifier of women (whether as whores or mothers). I’m not sure what level it is that I’m stooping too? If you mean that I am a woman who objects to women’s rights being turned back to those of the 19th century (or worse), then yes, that is my level. Limiting or abolishing abortion is exactly controlling the lives of fertile women and for women that is our fast approaching dystopian future. However! this is a design forum, not a political one, so lets say the costume design here is exemplary in setting the chilling tone and defining the constraints imposed on all levels of society within this particular narrative, and leave it at that.
Err, the article was a political one. So it’s not surprising that there are going to be political comments.
I have no problem with having a political discussion, just wondering whether we really should be hijacking a design blog with our argy bargy.
Someone once said: “everything is sexist, everything is racist” which is probably not true. So I’ll just say: “most things are political”. A bit of healthy debate is okay. And fun. Who knows, you may find a hole in my thinking that helps me change my mind.
Ah, so many holes, so little time.
“Sorry Joel, but Trump is the ultimate objectifier of women”
Well done you for not working in a prison and having to deal with rapists, some of whom must surely qualify for the position of “ultimate objectifier of women”.
Does Trump REALLY rate higher than Bill Clinton? Bill Cosby? Hugh Heffner?
Trump is nowhere near the “ultimate objectifier”, which I’m sure you know. I also know why people like you say such things.
Do you mean other than the reasons that I stated? I guess there was Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, but he didn’t try to trample women’s rights like Trump does and he copped to his own corruption and despite all his failings was a better president.
“But he didn’t try to trample women’s rights like Trump does” Eh? Has the constitution been amended without me noticing? What laws have been passed (or abolished) while I’ve been looking away?
My primary concern is the hypocrisy in casting Elisabeth Moss, a Scientologist, to star in a show about an oppressive culture that maintains hyper-control over its citizens. That’s like asking a Hindu to star in a show critical of polytheism.
So how about the countless times Jews have played Christians, and vice versa (and atheists have played all sorts of religions)? Or is it only hypocrisy with Scientologists and Hindus?
Fair enough. I will clarify, I call it hypocrisy because this has been used as a political statement, and a very strong one.
Ah Joel, all religion is oppressive that’s why it was invented in the first place. Also, it’s called acting. You know, like when kids play the role of trees in the school play.
Your statement does not even have an actual point to make. Just a ridiculous blanket-statement. People playing the high & mighty atheist are tiresome and unbecoming.
Actually Joel my statement has two points:
1) you equate casting a scientologist in a show about oppressive culture to hypocrisy, thereby equating scientology with oppression. My point was that the religion followed by the actor is irrelevant because all religions are oppressive in that they aim to control what their followers do, but also particularly in regards to their female followers.
2) It’s called acting, the beliefs of the actor are irrelevant if the actor is able to portray the character and her beliefs convincingly.
When some folk started saying “Liberalism is a disease, let’s find a cure” I wondered what they were on about. But when a costume designer accuses Trump of doing or planning things that he hasn’t, but is a daily occurrence on our city streets, within a religion that went unmentioned in the article, I begin to understand what they are talking about. Seriously, stop rallying against a mythical patriarchy, when we have a REAL patriarchy to deal with.
Traditionally, Polish women wore headscarves in a sign of modesty (although revisionists will say it was simply to stop the wind mussing their hair). I wasn’t aware that the US ambassador to the UN was proposing sanctions against Poland unless they reinstated the headscarf.
Seriously, get a grip, progressives. You survived the Bushes: you’ll survive Trump (even if he lasts the full 4 years).
Perhaps you would like to itemise the things of which Ane Crabtree has accused Donald Trump. She clearly isn’t a supporter of his; and at one point in the interview refers to him as a “Gilead commander” but that’s about all. And why should the unnamed religion to which you refer have been mentioned in the interview, since it doesn’t appear in the dramatisation? Your closing remarks indicate that you think liberals are too sensitive (snowflakes perhaps?); could you be displaying the same tendency at the opposite end of the political spectrum?
I will go further. If progressives continue like this he will last 8 years. And easily so.
Continue like what?
Oh you know, holding up the facts to the light of day, banging on about all the science behind climate change, pointing out that having a posturing idiot as president is no way to run a country.
Having a posturing idiot as president is, indeed, no way to run a country. But to portray him as “literally Hitler” as some do (even in mainstream media for Godsake) is a bit deranged.
You seriously think that Donald Trump’s future as President depends more on how progressives act than on his own self-destructive tendencies? At this moment it would take a reckless gambler to put a bet on him lasting another 8 days.
Yes I do. In parts because that is precisely what got him elected last year. There were hundreds of thousands of people who reluctantly checked his box because the other side had become so unhinged. But of course it will also be based on whether he is able to fulfill the promises he made. Much harder that part for him of course.
Your thinking is a little skewed here. What happened is that lots of voters did not want to vote for either candidate and so abstained. If Bernie Sanders had been the opposing candidate (as by rights he should have been if the manner in which presidential candidates are elected was not so corrupt) we may well have had a totally different outcome.
PS I have just learned that making pancakes while participating in fun political jousts on Dezeen is a bad idea – it gives you rather black, crunchy pancakes.
“The alignment between the script and what was happening in real life was incredible.”
If by ‘incredible’ you mean ‘non existent’ I am with you.
Treating politics like you are still in Kindergarten is not what will bring the left into power anywhere you know?

Ardsley Park neighbors plan to start up neighborhood watch
Many Ardsley Park neighbors feel victimized after recent car break-ins and robberies. Now, they're looking to bring back a neighborhood watch program.
"Nobody should have to wonder in the middle of the night if their stuff is going to get stolen," said President of the Ardsley Park Neighborhood Association, Nick Palumbo.
The perception of increased car break-in's throughout the Ardsley Park neighborhood has been a hot button issue for weeks. "We're hyper-aware of every incident that happens here. That's valuable in a neighborhood to know what's going on nearby and I think the perception now is we recognize how often this is happening," explained Palumbo.
Victims of these crimes have taken to social media to warn others when and where they are happening.
When we spoke with Alderman Julian Miller earlier this month, he said there has only been one more car break-in than in 2016. But the "hyper-awareness" is enough for the neighborhood association to take back control of the streets. They're starting up a neighborhood watch program to monitor the more than 1,500 homes.
"We used to have a block-captain program... for each of our blocks from Victory to 55th Street. So, we are looking to fire that up again. Just to have a network of people who can stay in touch with each other and keep eyes on the street," said Palumbo.
The group is also looking for a crime awareness officer to be a liaison with police who they regularly see patrolling the area. "I know that they're (police) doing their absolute best overnight to catch the criminals in the act. We have such a massive neighborhood sometimes it can be difficult to pin it down," said Palumbo.
To best prevent yourself from being a victim, always lock your car and don't leave valuables in plain sight. If you are a victim, call police immediately.


I’m not sure what kind of plant this is. When I got it, I replanted it and put stones at the bottom of the planter for filtration. I only water it once a week if I feel the soil is getting dry (I’ve heard its bad to water the plant more). I also added some micracle-gro houseplant food to the water at times. The leaves are getting brown spots with some of the tips turning yellow and then brown. Its in an area that does not get much natural light. So maybe that could be a problem? Also, I’m a little worried about the base of the tree. I’m not sure if it should be more of a green color? Any advice would help!!
Your plant is called a Dracaena Lemon Lime. The brown and yellow spots are being caused by too much plant food and too much water. Dracaenas need to dry out before they are watered. Since you moved your plant to a larger pot and it is not in great light, it may take two week until it needs water. Dracaenas do not need very much plant food. Feed your Dracaena Lemon Lime plant once or twice a year in the spring and summer with a basic houseplant food at 1/2 the recommended strength. Too much fertilizer causes the leaf tip burn your plant has. It will be a stalk plant eventually so the stem color is no problem.

Back in the 70’s, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong found their niche in the entertainment world performing comedy about two pot heads who simply wanted to enjoy life from their alternative consciousness. The evidence of their popularity among a certain section of society – basically current or former marijuana smokers – is evident in the fact that they are still touring today, bringing their comedy to an entirely new generation. Movies, records, tours and more. Cheech and Chong did it all. And while they are still going strong, there’s also a new artist on the scene who has been passed the torch of marijuana comedy – Chief Greenbud.
With his self-titled freshman release on the streets and a second CD underway, Chief Greenbud has taken the marijuana music world by storm… or, if you will, by one gigantic puff. The Chief has already won accolades in his field, acquiring two Global Marijuana Music Awards (Best Acoustic Song & Best Male Artist) and being nominated by High Times Magazine for their 2009 Doobie Award for Best New / Underground Artist. Additionally, he’s finding himself in high (pun intended) demand on the underground concert and festival circuit.
All songs on the CD were written and performed by Chief Greenbud, and I will say there are many songwriters out there who could take lessons from the quality of the work. Whether you enjoy breaks at 4:20 or not, you can’t help but appreciate the excellent writing in the lyrics and melodies penned by the Chief. While there are things on the album which might be offensive to some listeners (i.e. those who don’t support the legalization of marijuana or its use), critics would be hard-pressed to discount the talent demonstrated throughout the CD.
Although it’s been 25 years since I inhaled myself, I enjoyed this CD thoroughly, laughing throughout at such lyrics as: “Without weed… I’m Willie Nelson without doobies / Without weed… I’m Dolly Parton without boobies / I will never leave Tennessee… without weed.” I thought I’d spend a few minutes scanning the songs and moving on to the next CD. Instead, I’ve listened to it twice and will be running through it again (and probably again after that).
I would recommend Chief Greenbud’s freshman release to any music aficionado who appreciates not only good comedic writing but honest-to-goodness musical talent – even if you don’t strike a match and light up a fatty before, during or after.

The old adage in sports that it’s tough to beat a team three times in one year rang true for one team, but not for another Tuesday night.
Fourth-seeded Sweet Home, in its gymnasium, upended ECIC II foe Williamsville East in straight sets, 25-16, 25-18, 31-29, after twice to the Flames during the season and claimed the Section VI Class A girls volleyball title, while Frontier beat Lancaster for the third time this year to win its third sectional Class AA title since 2008.
“We were actually really excited to play” Williamsville East “again because we knew what we were up against.” said Sweet Home coach Breean Martin, whose team was blown out in its last meeting with the Flames.
Fifth-year varsity player Jenna Resser led the way for Sweet Home with 13 kills and took over the third set when her team needed it most.
Down 22-18, Resser, who was easily the hardest hitter in the gym, scored five straight points for the Panthers to tie the game at 23. “I was shaking I was so nervous,” Resser said.
From there the lead changed five times before Resser took a quick pass that was unreturned to clinch the sectional title, sending the Sweet Home faithful on to the floor to celebrate with their team.
“It was her time to shine,” Martin said. “She’s been our offensive leader for five years. Being a senior, I saw it in her eyes that she was ready to take on the challenge.”
Front-row players Emma Hubert and Rachel Reusch also provided the offense for the Panthers, who won their first sectional title since 2006. Hubert had with 13 kills and four blocks, while Reusch had 11 kills and five blocks.
As thrilling a set as the third one was, the second proved pivotal.
With the score tied at 9-9, Sweet Home’s Quinn Sorrentino went on a nine-point service run to help the Panthers seize control.
Williamsville East was led by Carly Shifflet and Lexi Novak, who had 15 and 10 kills respectively.
• Frontier’s 25-22, 22-25, 25-20, 28-26 win in Class AA was capped off by a wild fourth set that saw Lancaster, knowing that could possibly be longtime head coach Sue Pernick’s last, fight back to take a 25-24 lead.
With Lancaster’s fans in a complete frenzy, Frontier’s Sydney Rojek tied the game at 25 with a kill. Mckyla Brooks hit an unreturnable blast on match point to give the Lady Falcons the win.
“What an emotional game playing against a friend I’ve known for years – went to grad school together, and someone I have the most utmost respect for,” Frontier coach Debby Schrufer said.
Brooks’ 21 kills led Frontier, with Madison Karwas putting down 12 kills and Rojek supplying 30 assists.
Pernick said her team battled the whole year and that this season is one she can hang her 24 brilliant years of coaching on, which includes seven straight state finals from 2001-2007 – including two state championships.
“It’s been great,” she said. “A great way to end a career with these bunch of kids.”
Sweet Home and Frontier return to action in Super Regional matches at Sweet Home on Saturday.
Sweet Home will take on Section V champion Pittsford Sutherland at 4 p.m., while the Falcons will face Section V champion and private school Mercy at noon.

BOSTON – The Carolina Hurricanes dominated the Boston Bruins for 16 periods in six games.
Five wins in a row – including two in the playoffs. Twenty-six goals to three. The Hurricanes have never eclipsed the Bruins by 325 minutes and 41 seconds.
“It’s been a while,” said Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy, noting that teams hadn’t played in the 2021 season shortened by the pandemic and therefore hadn’t beaten Carolina since 2020. “We talked about playing with a lead, it’s enough. That makes a difference for both teams.”
Brad Marchand scored the go-ahead goal to give Boston their first lead against Carolina all season. He then added two assists to help the Bruins hold their ground and beat the Hurricanes 4-2 in Game 3 of their first round playoff series.
Bruins rookie Jeremy Swayman stopped 25 shots in his first playoff start of his career after Linus Ullmark conceded eight goals in his first two games, both Hurricanes wins. A regular season followed, in which Carolina won all three games, beating the Bruins 16-1 and never falling behind.
Charlie Coyle scored from a man down and added an assist, and David Pastrnak had a power-play goal and an assist for Boston, who hopes to level the best-of-seven streak when they host Game 4 on Sunday. Taylor Hall added a power play goal for the Bruins to make it 4-1 early in the third period.
“When JD (Jake DeBrusk) and CC made that game shorthanded to put us back in the game, it just changed the whole behavior,” Marchand said. “We had made up for all series. It just felt good to know that we can react.”
Vincent Trocheck and Jaccob Slavin scored for Carolina, and backup goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov made 24 saves in his first playoff start of his career. He took over in Game 2 after starter Antti Raanta was injured in a collision with Pastrnak.
Trocheck gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead, heading in a rebound when he was delayed going down in front of the net. But Coyle tied it up with a 2-for-1 give-and-go with DeBrusk with 2:44 in the first.
“Obviously that’s a huge goal for them,” Slavin said. “Our power play should give us momentum, not take it away.”
After five minutes, Marchand was fighting for the puck along the cushions and headed for the slot where he caught Patrice Bergeron’s deflected shot and passed high over Kochetkov. It was Boston’s first lead over the Hurricanes since they were eliminated in the first round of the 2020 postseason.
“We know the problem,” said Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour. “We had a decent first period and then the power play gave up a shorty and they got some life out of it.”
The Hurricanes conceded consecutive penalties late in the second round and just after the 5-on-3 turned into a one-man advantage, Pastrnak screwed in one from the left circle to make it 3-1.
The Hurricanes lost forward Jordan Martinook in the second half when he tangled with Hall. Martinook got back on his skates but was unable to put weight on his right ankle.
He went down the tunnel and the Hurricanes said he would not return.
“This is getting questionable,” Brind’Amour said. “He looked pretty rough in there.”
The game was delayed about seven minutes when part of the glass fell on NHL off-ice official Joe Foley while he was working in the Bruins box.
The game was called dead at 5:07 in the second period, and medical staff ran across the ice to attend to the referee. He was set down on a stretcher and cheered on by the Boston fans.
The glass separated the Boston penalty area from the stands. Play resumed with a policeman in the stands to maintain a barrier.
NHL spokesman John Dellapina said Foley, the commercial coordinator, was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for observation.
“We heard he’s fine and will be fine,” Pastrnak said.

Why We Love Rachel Weisz
Being married to one of the most handsome men in the world, pure theater chops and a look to die for make Weisz one of our all-time favorites.
She was in The Constant Gardener
Weisz earned her first Golden Globe, SAG award, and Oscar nominations and wins for her supporting role in The Constant Gardner, in 2005. This solidified Weisz’status as a bonafide movie star. An amazing actress in a killer movie.
She makes an amazing witch
In Oz The Great and Powerful, Weisz plays Evanora, a powerful witch desperately trying to hold sway over the people of the Emerald City. It’s a performance that’s not always as it seems — but one we can’t stop talking about.
She married James Bond
After Weisz ended her nine-year marriage to Darren Aronofsky, she quickly found herself a new man. Not just any man, but James Bond himself, Daniel Craig. The couple went from dating in December 2010 to married June 2011, making Weisz the envy of millions of people around the world. Any woman who can say that she made an honest man out of James Bond should be celebrated.
She does legitimate theater
Not only does Weisz have a steady career in film, but she is also a seasoned theater performer. From her career beginnings in 1994, the actress has graced stages big and small in London, England. With shows including A Street Car Named Desire and Suddenly Last Summer, to name a few, she’s recieved constant acclaim for her theater work, further affirming her versatility in all forms of acting.
She is aging beautifully
Weisz specifically stated her opposition to plastic surgery in an interview in 2009. Despite that today she still looks virtually ageless and at age 43 she is still considered a sex symbol. If she is what a natural, 43-year-old looks like, then can we all be that age?

The Porsche 911 993 windscreen is one of the most uncomplicated and straight forward windscreens to fit, yet they can give you many problems if not done correctly.
It’s fairly common knowledge that the two most prolific issues which arise from the windscreen, or windscreen area of the car, are corrosion of the aperture (or pinchweld) and a very irritating vibration – or creaking – noise. Conceding that the former could well be attributed to a design flaw, both problems are usually traceable to human negligence, especially if the car has had its windscreen replaced. To identify and illustrate what these problems are, and just how bad they can get, I have chosen this 1995 car on the basis of its age, condition and comprehensive service history.
This 993 is extremely ‘clean’ and looks to be a fantastic depreciation-proof investment. A C4 coupe 6 speed manual, she’s flawlessly finished in a Polar Silver metallic paint with an unmarked – and as new – gray interior; hard backed leather sports seats to boot. The car has been well maintained and between just three former keepers every mile, every turned nut and bolt, has been meticulously accounted for. The current owner wanted to address two annoying problems which first began to surface a few months after he’d bought the car: corrosion (on the scuttle below the windscreen) and, “it sounds like the pitter patter of rain” he said.
NB: I have covered the VIN in order to concentrate on the subject, and not on the car or its identity.
Like with any windscreen replacement, most car owners will see the finished product; in most cases, they start with a damaged window and when the work’s done, they’re presented with shiny new screen. If there are any issues in the finish, sometimes they’re immediately obvious but some problems will not manifest themselves until later. One of the most annoying scenarios is finding such a problem as the new owner of the car. The story with this car started with such a sketch.
To be fair to the current owner, it’s an easy detail to overlook when looking over an otherwise fantastically maintained – and presented – car. “It was only until after I got it home and wondered if it should be like that,” he said “I decided not to query it as I was so pleased with the car”. Some six months into his ownership, his ear ‘tuned in’ to the infamous creaking noise and like many other Porsche owners, he put it down to a dry bush or guessed that it might be a tightness in the dashboard somewhere. The car subsequently ended up with a Porsche independent who immediately spotted the gap in the damming rubber, which prompted him to look for other telltale signs. On closer inspection, there was no doubting the windscreen had been replaced. Underneath the outer trim, or ‘sealing frame’ was not a pretty sight.
Please also note that there may have been approximately a year (or more) between spotting these issues and having them corrected; the bubbling paint was not as bad when first noticed.
My remit was to remove the windscreen so that the bodyshop guys can tackle the corrosion. The following pictures tell their own story.
The windscreen was removed – intact – and whilst it was difficult to ascertain if had been fitted from new (or removed and refitted) there was no mistaking the attempts to cover up a multitude of mistakes.
Leaving the bodyshop guys to deal with the corrosion (which pointed towards some over zealous use of a knife by a previous installer) the windscreen needed some extensive correcting of its own before it would be ready for refitting. My suspicion is that for whatever reason, the windscreen had already been removed and refitted. This may have been in a bodyshop (for paint.corrosion correction) or possibly even to rectify a replacement problem such as creaking, leaking or wind noise.
The Clean Up
There was a lot of making good to be done and found hidden beneath the mess was one of the reasons why these windscreens creak: silicon contamination. In order to obtain a more flush-fitting finish, the 993 front screen comes, from the manufacturer, ‘pre-encapsulated’ within the trim frame (like the one on the heated rear window, this is not available as a separate part). The plastic-coated frame is slotted onto the glass and provides a groove for the outer (rubber) trim to lock into. With the trim frame around the perimeter, a bead of Polyurethane adhesive (PUR) is applied over the line where the trim frame meets the glass. The idea is to bond these two parts together and in doing so, provide a raised profile to which fresh PUR is applied when fitting the windscreen to the car. A mistake many make is to cut into this pre-applied PUR. In this case, there was little left of the factory-applied PUR; the silk-printed ceramic frit had been obliterated with black adhesion promoter and the trim frame was loose. Given how contaminated the substrate was, the best policy was to cut right back to the ceramic coating; much of what was left of the existing PUR simply peeled off.
The next steps were crucial. Nobody likes doing preparation work; it’s boring, it takes time and you cannot see an immediate result. However, the importance of prepping the substrate sufficiently couldn’t be more important in this case. This screen was riddled with silicon and had to be removed before we did anything else.
With the contact surface neutralised, work began on getting the trim frame back on and bonded under fresh adhsive. There are a couple of points which I am purposely omitting at this stage under the banner of trade secrets but mainly because this is a very involved remove and refit of a 993 screen and that those particular details would probably not apply to the fitting of a new screen.
With the fresh PUR applied, the windscreen is left in a cool, dry room to allow the adhesive to cure through to its core (brand, temperature and humidity dependent, this could take up to 84 hours). For your information, I use a Sika AGR OEM Approved PUR adhesive system. Once the PUR has cured, some trimming may be required to allow the screen to sit at the required height.
The Repainted Car
From the moment the fresh paint has been baked, the car must be allowed to cool down for 24 hours after it is removed from the oven. This is part of the paint curing process. Sika recommends a bonding process specifically for freshly painted cars and this process is followed according to their guidelines.
With the inner damming rubber in place, there are some minor adjustments to be made before the windscreen can be bonded back into place. These tweaks are made from ‘dry’ fitting the screen and ascertaining the where correct position is in relation to where – and how – the screen will sit on freshly applied PUR. Some final preparation touches are made before setting the screen into position. And she’s in:
The final step is to make sure this problem doesn’t creep back in years to come.
Some shots of the finished job.
I invite, and welcome your comments.

For distributed programs to operate, a process should be divided into smaller subtasks and unfold over a number of nodes or computer systems in a community. These nodes or computer systems then talk and cooperate to complete the duty.
The next 4 steps present a short overview of how distributed programs function:
A distributed system includes quite a few components or nodes unfold over varied actual or digital locations. These components can talk with each other throughout a community to perform a single goal.
A distributed system’s parts can talk with each other utilizing a wide range of protocols and instruments, together with TCP/IP, HTTP or message queues. These protocols enable the nodes to speak by sending and receiving messages or knowledge.
For the components of a distributed system to operate effectively collectively, they have to coordinate their actions. A number of mechanisms, reminiscent of distributed algorithms, consensus protocols, or distributed transactions, can be utilized to realize this coordination.
A distributed system needs to be created with fault tolerance in thoughts. This suggests that it ought to be capable to deal with failures of particular components or nodes with out impairing the efficiency or availability of the whole system. Distributed programs make use of redundancy, replication or partitioning methods to realize fault tolerance.
An internet search engine is an instance of a distributed system because it includes quite a few nodes that perform varied capabilities, together with crawling web sites, indexing content material and dealing with person requests. These nodes cooperate to provide customers fast and efficient search outcomes.
The blockchain — a decentralized ledger that information transactions securely and transparently — can be an instance of a distributed system. It’s distributed as a result of the ledger is saved on a number of nodes within the community, with every node holding a duplicate of the whole ledger, permitting for higher transparency, safety and resilience to failures or assaults.

Modernist, modular design comes to cottage country
Picture a mid 20th century Case Study house overlooking Los Angeles; the flat roof and glass walls, the refinement of form and Modernist ideals. Now transpose those forms and philosophies into the 21st Century amid the lakes and forests of the Canadian Shield in Haliburton, Ontario. MAFCOHOUSE is a contemporary building system that harks back to the architecture of Richard Neutra and Pierre Koenig but which also meets the environmental aspirations of today’s clients and building codes.
By Will Jones
Conceived by Dan and Diane Molenaar, the MAFCO concept was born in 2004 when an opportunity to reuse curtain wall glazing from a refurbished office tower in Toronto set the couple on a journey to build their own off-grid contemporary cottage on a bluff overlooking Drag Lake in Haliburton County.
“We designed a pavilion-like building around these glazed units,” says Dan Molenaar. “Their pivotal role in the design established the 16-foot [4.8m] structural grid and modular post and beam construction that has become the basis of all MAFCO houses.”
Today, MAFCOHOUSE has refined the design of its homes to take into account the most important criteria of environmental design. From the initial site visit and topographical survey, each house is designed to best suit its immediate surroundings and integrate with the unique characteristics of the site.
“The 16-foot [4.8m] module means that we can effectively juggle boxes to see how they will best fit into a site, with the least disruption,” says Molenaar. “Taking into account orientation to the sun, topography and required setbacks from water bodies, we design a one-or two-storey building that sits lightly within the landscape.”
This starting grid of industry-standard size ensures that materials are available off-the-shelf and used with the minimum of waste. The hard coat, triple-glazed walls, the inspiration for this house design, are typically 8-feet [2.4m] high and manufactured by Inline Fiberglass.

The digital pressure gauge and manometer DMU-JB represents a battery-operated handheld service and workshop instrument specially designed for versatile use in industry, power engineering, heating and combustion technology, air-conditioning, ventilation, laboratories, etc. The unit possess superior qualities over liquid column manometers (U-tubes). The DMU-D instrument measures pressure differences at corresponding pressure which is comparable with the nominal range. The instrument cannot measure pressure differences at high corresponding pressure, eg. on flow plates in gas pressure distribution systems.
DMU-P instrument serves this purpose, it is used to measure pressure differences on the static pressure up to 100 times higher than the nominal differential pressure with max. 1MPa. If one of the pressure inputs is not connected, the instrument automatically measures relative overpressure or underpressure against the atmospheric pressure. The measured medium needs to be non-aggressive gas, eg. air, nitrogen, etc. The spark secure DMU gauges, version JB are marked I M1 Ex ia I Ma, intended for use in mines with methane.


text: We previously reported that a recombinant ICP27-null virus stimulated, but did not prevent, apoptosis in human HEp-2 cells during infection (M. Aubert and J. A. Blaho, J. Virol. 73:2803-2813, 1999). In the present study, we used a panel of 15 recombinant ICP27 mutant viruses to determine which features of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication are required for the apoptosis-inhibitory activity. Each virus was defined experimentally as either apoptotic, partially apoptotic, or nonapoptotic based on infected HEp-2 cell morphologies, percentages of infected cells with condensed chromatin, and patterns of specific cellular death factor processing. Viruses d27-1, d1-5, d1-2, M11, M15, M16, n504R, n406R, n263R, and n59R are apoptotic or partially apoptotic in HEp-2 cells and severely defective for growth in Vero cells. Viruses d2-3, d3-4, d4-5, d5-6, and d6-7 are nonapoptotic, demonstrating that ICP27 contains a large amino-terminal region, including its RGG box RNA binding domain, which is not essential for apoptosis prevention. Accumulations of viral TK, VP16, and gD but not gC, ICP22, or ICP4 proteins correlated with prevention of apoptosis during the replication of these viruses. Of the nonapoptotic viruses, d4-5 did not produce gC, indicating that accumulation of true late gene products is not necessary for the prevention process. Analyses of viral DNA synthesis in HEp-2 cells indicated that apoptosis prevention by HSV-1 requires that the infection proceeds to the stage in which viral DNA replication takes place. Infections performed in the presence of the drug phosphonoacetic acid confirmed that the process of viral DNA synthesis and the accumulation of true late (γ2) proteins are not required for apoptosis prevention. Based on our results, we conclude that the accumulation of HSV-1 early (β) and leaky-late (γ1) proteins correlates with the prevention of apoptosis in infected HEp-2 cells.

Dueling press conferences make noise over whether to expand Medicaid
Send this to a friend
Press conferences at the Texas Capitol by both sides of the debate over expanding Medicaid resulted in a noisy start to the legislative week.
Gov. Rick Perry, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and other state officials stood firmly against expanding Medicaid during their morning press conference, where they instead endorsed a block grant-based system.
That was followed by a midday press conference during which Democratic U.S. Reps. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio and Lloyd Doggett of Austin joined others to argue for expansion as the only choice that makes business sense to secure federal dollars while insuring the uninsured. The two sides offered competing arguments and statistics amid very different decibel levels.
“Medicaid is a broken system that is failing Texas and overwhelming the state budget," said U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, as loud protests continued outside the governor’s public reception room. “Texas — not the federal government — is best suited to design a health care program for its poorest and most vulnerable residents. The time has come for Congress to allow the states to do just that with a block grant of federal Medicaid funds.”
Amid chants of “Perry take the money now” and “two, four, six, eight, we need health care we can’t wait,” speakers highlighted how national Medicaid spending rose from $73.7 billion to $401.4 billion from 1990 to 2010, a nearly 445 percent increase. That figure exceeded an estimate of $282 billion spent in 2011, according to a report by Dick Armey, who was U.S. House majority leader from 1995-2003, and Arlene Wohlgemuth, executive director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Three days into Belgium’s biggest football scandal in decades, nine people are behind bars, including one top referee and three agents. In all, 19 people faced charges ranging from match-fixing to money laundering. Yet, after Wednesday’s extraordinary police operation covering 57 raids in seven nations, the scandal has left the nation’s World Cup stars and the Red Devils national side untouched.
Belgium plays Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League late Friday in Brussels with barely a question mark over the match. At national level though, the damage is widespread. Even though match-fixing allegations did not center on winning the Belgian league, which involved clubs such as Anderlecht, Club Brugge, and Standard Liege last season, it centered on the relegation fight and a once-famous club, FC Mechelen, which has fallen on hard times.
After spending one night in jail, the coach of league champion Brugge was back on the pitch on Friday, saying, “I didn’t deserve this, what happened the last two days.” He was released on Thursday but is still charged with money laundering, something his club says refers to a period before he joined Brugge. He was applauded back onto the training pitch and the owners confirmed their trust in him in a statement: “Club Brugge sees no reason why it should end its relationship of trust with Ivan Leko, both as a coach and as an individual.”
Two referees, including the ref in jail, are suspended until further notice. The government was less than amused, especially since football has been able to count on tax breaks and leeway on social security contributions for years.
“Considering the cost to society, it cannot be that money saved is used for money laundering or other criminal activities,” Belgian Vice Premier Kris Peeters said.
The charges filed against 19 people include belonging to a criminal organization, match fixing, money laundering, and corruption, said federal prosecutor’s spokeswoman, Wenke Roggen. Because of the size of the scandal, Belgian soccer’s second division decided to scrap this weekend’s games. There are no fixtures in the first division because of the international break.

ISTANBUL — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Istanbul on Friday for talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan whose NATO-member country has sought to balance its close relations with both Kyiv and Moscow and repeatedly offered to act as a peace-broker between them.
During the talks in Istanbul, Erdogan was expected to press for negotiations to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, now in its third year, a Turkish government official said.
Talks would also focus on a possible new measure that would guarantee navigational safety of commercial vessels in the Black Sea, the official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with Turkish government protocol.
The visit comes as Zelenskyy continues to press other nations for more munitions and weaponry to halt the advance of Russian troops trying to make deeper gains into the Ukraine-held western part of the Donetsk region and also penetrating into the Kharkiv region north of it.
Shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the outbreak of the war, Turkey hosted a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministers as well as unsuccessful talks between the two countries’ negotiating teams aimed at ending the hostilities.
Later in 2022, Turkey, along with the United Nations, also brokered a deal between Russia and Ukraine that allowed the shipment of millions of tons of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea. Russia however, pulled out of the deal last year, citing obstacles to its export of food and fertilizers.
In Istanbul, Zelenskky was also to visit shipyards where Turkish companies are building two corvettes for the Ukrainian navy, according to his office.
Zelenskyy last visited Turkey last July, when he returned back to Ukraine together with a group of Ukrainian commanders who were in Turkey following a prison exchange deal, and were to remain on Turkish territory until the end of the war. There was no explanation from Ankara or Kyiv about why they were allowed to return to Ukraine.
Fraser reported from Ankara, Turkey.

- Mawdryn Undead
125 – Mawdryn Undead Doctor Who serial
Mawdryn masquerades as a regenerated Doctor
CastOthers Production Writer Peter Grimwade Director Peter Moffatt Script editor Eric Saward Producer John Nathan-Turner Executive producer(s) None Production code 6F Series Season 20 Length 4 episodes, 25 minutes each Originally broadcast 1 February–9 February 1983 Chronology ← Preceded by Followed by → Snakedance Terminus
Mawdryn Undead is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was originally broadcast in four twice weekly parts from 1 February to 9 February 1983. The serial was the first of three loosely connected serials known as the Black Guardian Trilogy, and introduced Mark Strickson as a new companion, Vislor Turlough, as well as reintroducing Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. The character had not been seen on the series since the Fourth Doctor serial Terror of the Zygons almost eight years earlier.
In 1983, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart has retired from UNIT, and teaches mathematics at Brendon Public School. One of his students, Turlough, a stranded alien Trion posing as a human, takes the Brigadier's classic car for a joyride but ends up in a crash. While unconscious, Turlough is contacted by the Black Guardian, who seeks to kill the Doctor for his interference in acquiring The Key to Time. The Black Guardian offers Turlough passage off Earth if he kills the Doctor, to which Turlough agrees, and is given a communication device through which the Black Guardian gives him orders.
The Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa, aboard the TARDIS, find themselves caught in the warp ellipse of a starliner that is trapped in time. Materialising aboard the ship, they find a transmat capsule as the source of interferrence that is trapping the TARDIS, and are soon joined by Turlough, following the Black Guardian's orders. The Doctor takes Turlough with him to Earth to locate the other end of the transmat, leaving Tegan and Nyssa aboard the TARDIS on the ship. After the Doctor corrects the transmat device on Earth, the TARDIS attempts to materialise but soon vanishes. Without any idea where to look, the Doctor talks to the Brigadier at the school, surprised that the Brigadier has forgotten their past histories due to some type of trauma. However, on mention of finding Tegan and the TARDIS, the Brigadier recalls seeing the TARDIS in 1977. The Doctor attempts to coax the details of these events from the Brigadier.
Meanwhile, in 1977, Nyssa and Tegan leave the TARDIS, and discover the other end of the transmat capsule near the school. Inside is a horribly disfigured alien humanoid, which they believe may be the Doctor. They find local help nearby from the Brigadier, still on active duty with UNIT. The alien, still pretending to be the Doctor, convinces the three to return with him to the TARDIS and return to the spaceliner where a remedy for his situation may be found. In 1983, the Doctor tracks the TARDIS' movements and realises it returned to the liner. He, Turlough, and the older Brigadier return to the liner via the transmat capsule. Due to the nature of the warp ellipse, the Doctor rejoins his allies, but on discovery that two versions of the Brigadier are aboard, cautions his companions to keep them apart, lest the resulting energy discharge prove catastrophic.
Ultimately, the Doctor learns the truth of the liner's crew, that they are several scientists that attempted to discover the Time Lord secret of regeneration, but ended up as disfigured creatures, unable to die. The alien that Tegan and Nyssa met reveals himself as Mawdryn, and tries to convince the Doctor to give up his remaining regenerations to kill Mawdryn and his fellow sufferers. The Doctor tries to leave with his companions in the TARDIS, but finds that Tegan and Nyssa are now suffering the same condition as Mawdryn, and de-age rapidly while the TARDIS is in the Time Vortex. The Doctor realises he has no choice, and prepares to give up his remaining regenerations to not only kill the scientists but to also restore Tegan and Nyssa to normal.
During this time, the two Brigadiers have been purposely kept apart by Turlough and Mawdryn and his crew. Mawdryn even attempts to send the younger Brigadier back to Earth to avoid him touching his other self, but the transmat capsule fails and returns to the ship. As the Doctor is about to engage the device to take his regenerations, the two Brigadiers finally meet and reach out to touch the other. The resulting temporal energy release occurs at exactly the right time to perform the same actions that the Doctor's sacrifice would have done: Mawdryn and the other scientists are freed of their undead existence, and Tegan and Nyssa return to their proper age. The younger Brigadier suffers a trauma that causes him to forget the Doctor and these events, until later reminded of them in 1983. The Doctor evacuates everyone to the TARDIS before the liner self-destructs, and then returns both Brigadiers to their respective time streams on Earth. The Doctor accepts Turlough's request to join his crew, unaware of his influence by the Black Guardian.
- All of the stories during Season 20 featured enemies from the Doctor's past. The past enemy for this and the next two serials was the Black Guardian, who last faced the fourth incarnation of the Doctor at the conclusion of the The Key to Time saga in The Armageddon Factor (1979). The Black Guardian Trilogy continues in the following serial, Terminus. It was also the first Fifth Doctor episode to star Nicholas Courtney as The Brigadier.
- During the Brigadier’s flashback he sees Yeti (The Web of Fear), Cybermen (The Invasion), the Second Doctor (The Three Doctors), the Axons (The Claws of Axos), Daleks (Day of the Daleks), the Third Doctor (Spearhead from Space), the First Doctor (The Three Doctors), the K1 Robot from (Robot), a Zygon (Terror of the Zygons), and the Fourth Doctor and, of course, the Brig himself from The Three Doctors. All of the clips were shown in sepia-tinted black & white.
- Mawdryn Undead also makes the first explicit statement in the series that the current Doctor is the fifth incarnation. The Doctor clearly states that he has eight incarnations left after his present one, confirming that there were no earlier incarnations before the televised first, played by William Hartnell.
- The Doctor cites the "Blinovitch Limitation Effect" as the reason for the temporal energy discharge resulting from the meeting of the two Brigadiers; this was first mentioned in the Third Doctor serial Day of the Daleks. However, the Effect must not apply to Time Lords, or at least can be mitigated, as the Doctor has met his prior incarnations on several occasions (the difference between incarnations may itself be an explanation).
- In the fourth episode, the Doctor says he might try to "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow", a phrase often associated with the Third Doctor.
- The Doctor refers to several people that he worked with in UNIT, namely Sergeant Benton, Harry Sullivan, Jo Grant, Sarah Jane Smith and Liz Shaw. In a rare case of an explicit calendar date being applied to the UNIT timeline, the Brigadier indicates that Benton left UNIT in 1979 and became a used-car salesman, and that Sullivan had been seconded into doing secret government work at some point prior to 1983. The episode also establishes that the Brigadier left UNIT in 1976 and became a teacher, although the serials The Five Doctors and Battlefield establish that he later re-established his relationship with the organization. (See UNIT dating controversy.)
- Mawdryn Undead was a replacement for an earlier script, The Song of the Space Whale, by Pat Mills. That script fell through when Mills and script editor Eric Saward could not agree on certain elements of the story. Instead, Peter Grimwade quickly produced Mawdryn Undead to fill the gap in the production schedule and provide the first instalment of the Black Guardian Trilogy. The Song of the Space Whale was later renamed The Song of Megaptera and made into an audio drama by Big Finish Productions for their Doctor Who The Lost Stories range.
Serial details by episode Episode Broadcast date Run time Viewership

- The original intent of the production team was for the character of Ian Chesterton, one of the original regulars from the series' first two seasons from 1963–1965, to return for a guest appearance in this story; hence the school setting, as Chesterton was a science teacher, and the Brigadier's being issued with another TARDIS homing device. However, actor William Russell proved to be unavailable. Some consideration was given to using instead the character of Harry Sullivan, who was a regular in the programme for a season in the mid-1970s, before the return of Lethbridge-Stewart was eventually decided upon.
- David Collings, who played Mawdryn, also appeared in the Fourth Doctor serials Revenge of the Cybermen as Vorus and The Robots of Death as Poul, and would himself play an alternate Doctor in Big Finish Productions' Doctor Who Unbound audio play, Full Fathom Five.
- Angus MacKay previously played Borusa in The Deadly Assassin.
- John Nathan-Turner felt that Mark Strickson's blond hair didn't stand out well enough from Peter Davison's blond hair. He initially asked Strickson to shave his head, but when Strickson declined, Turner decided that Strickson's hair should be dyed red.
