Christopher Gable: Sharaz Jek

Quotes 

• Sharaz Jek : [to the Doctor]  You have the mouth of a prattling jackanapes, but your eyes, they tell a different story.

• Peri : Why does he always wear that hood?

  Sharaz Jek : Do you want to know why? You with your fair skin and features. You want to see the face under here?

  [shouts] 

  Sharaz Jek : DO YOU?

  [Peri lets out a shriek and rushes in to the arms of the Doctor] 

  Sharaz Jek : You're wise. Even I can't bear to see or touch myself. I was once... once comely. Was always a lover of beauty. And now I have to live in this exile. Where I have to live amongst androids, because androids do not see as we see!

  The Fifth Doctor : What happened?

  Sharaz Jek : Morgus. Why I ever trusted that fescennine bag of slime! I built an android work force. To collect and refine the Spectrox. We agreed to share the profits. But he'd already planned my death. When the mud burst caught me without warning, how he must have gloated. But I tricked him. I reached one of the baking chambers and I survived. Just.

  Peri : You were burned?

  Sharaz Jek : Scalded, near to death. The flesh boiled, hanging from the bone. I lived... I lived so that one day I could revenge myself on that human monster. And I shall.

  [he turns and walks away from the Doctor and Peri] 

  The Fifth Doctor : More of a tennis player than a cricketer.

• [Sharaz Jek is holding the Doctor and Peri prisoner in his underground lair] 

  Sharaz Jek : The sight of beauty is so important to me, and the stimulus of a mind nearly equal to my own.

  The Fifth Doctor : Thank you.

  Sharaz Jek : I've missed so much of life these last lonely years. But your arrival has changed all that. We shall become the best of companions.

  The Fifth Doctor : What do you say Peri? We could go on nature walks, have picnics and jolly evenings round the camp fire.

  Sharaz Jek : Don't mock me, Doctor!
