 The opening of episode 1.7 was originally intended to feature Tim  having a conversation with a fictional character. Originally, this  was intended to be Lara Croft, the heroine of the Tomb Raider  video game series, but the writers were not granted clearance to use  the character. The scene was reworked to feature FBI agent Dana  Scully of the TV show _"X Files, The" (1993)_ (qv) and the producers  had even considered approaching Gillian Anderson (I) (qv), (Dana  Scully), to fill the role, but the scene was eventually filmed with  a lookalike. Writer and star Jessica Stevenson (qv) was going to  dub the voice of Scully, but the scene was cut and never completed.
