The Doctor Who Minor Characters Ficathon

I have this feeling there's a briefer version of it in the serial, when Gilbert M and Joseph C talk to each other before they run away, but I'm never quite sure, because I did read that novelisation a ridiculous number of times when I was a teenager and had no access to such things as actual episodes & it's very easy to amalgamate the two. (Fans don't know they're alive today. *shakes walking stick*)
