[edit] Behind the Scenes

The character, in a slightly different form, had previously featured in three radio plays for BBC Radio 4: The Assassin, Pegasus and The Nemesis Machine, all written by Saward. In these, Mace is a Victorian actor-manager who becomes involved in various strange mysteries. He is much like his (presumed) ancestor in mannerisms. This Victorian Mace is portrayed by Geoffery Matthews.
