'Lizzy Le Quesne, 'Liz Aggiss: The 3D Queen of Brighton', Ballet Tanz Jahrbuch, 2005, p55 Aggiss and Cowie's final collaboration was Men in the Wall (2003), a 3D film installation piece which premiered at the ICA.

In over-the-top German accent Thomas Kampe rants and rails, munches on a sausage and sweetly sings. Sebastian Gonzales recalls beloved Spanish customs with tension and flair, Anglo-Asian Jeddi Bassan wimpers and pompously prattles while American Scott Smith is casual and crumpled – a soft and sensitive post-beatnik.

Orac is voiced by series regular Peter Tuddenham, except for the series 1 finale "Orac" (which introduced the character) when the voice is provided by Derek Farr, who played Orac's creator Ensor in that episode. (Orac is now voiced by Alistair Lock, both in the revival by B7 Productions and Big Finish Productions.) Orac is a highly advanced supercomputer developed by the scientist Ensor, brought aboard the Liberator by Blake and the others at the end of the first series. Ensor was a particularly irascible character and Orac inherited some of his traits: Orac is terse, short-tempered, and frequently unhelpful. Orac is activated by a "key", which is removed by the crew to shut him up if he prattles on too much.
