King of Hearts

The King of Hearts like the Queen of Hearts, was one of the deadly pawns used by the Celestial Toymaker against Steven Taylor and Dodo Chaplet when they were trapped in his realm. When not in a contest, the King stayed in playing card form. (TV: The Celestial Toymaker)

Behind the scenes

 * The King of Hearts appears like a living playing card. A living King of Hearts also appears in Alice in Wonderland.
 * The fact that he used the unbowdlerised version of "Eenie Meenie Miney Moe" when selecting a chair indicates that he was from an English-speaking country no later than the Nineteen-Seventies.
