  • Amongst the things established by this documentary were: * The utter lack of any kind of scholarship about Newman within the Doctor Who community * Newman's middle name was "Richard" * An explanation of some of the rumours surrounding the enigmatic Newman * His death date, a matter of some confusion * His cause of death, also something poorly understood prior to this documentary (most notably, debunking the rumour that he committed suicide) * An idea of his late-1950s career at Hammer Studios, including details of his only other major credit, the BAFTA-winning war film Yesterday's Enemy. * An overview of his service during World War II * An impression of what his life was like after The Sensorites, his last screen credit * Photographs of Newman are shown and Hadoke is given a recording of the author reading some literature. The documentary is featured on the Sensorites DVD in lieu of the standard "making of the story" featurette usually included on such releases.
