The Doctor Who Thread

The head shot of Troughton was used by artist Chris Achilleos in his artwork for the 1974 novel The Abominable Snowmen.

They played off each other perfectly

Very true. It's a fave Pertwee story of mine. I don't know why but i really love the Gel Guards. I think they must have captured my imagination as a child seeing them on the Weetabix cards.

On that note so did Vega Nexus... Not sure why they did a card of him to be honest.

Edit - Just downloaded all the second set of Weetabix cards which will now be merged into Image of the Day.

Release date: November 3

RRP: £20:00

^ I'll be having one of those. Cracking illustrations. Would make a wonderful Christmas present.

"An announcement is coming…

See you Sunday at 7.30pm"

The link given with the posting (https://cybusindustries.org/) leads to 'Cybus Industries', but all it gives is a countdown clock (presumably ticking down until Sunday at 7:30pm)

Obviously it is something to do with the Cyebermen, but other than that...I have no idea!!

Red alert in the TARDIS for Tegan (Janet Fielding), The Doctor (Peter Davison) and Turlough (Mark Strickson) in 1984's Warriors of the Deep.

Animating Wheel in Space? Blu-raying season 5?

Probably nothing that exciting.

Good call

We know that they have already started to animate this, and I *think* it was being advertised on Amazon for a period as a pre-order, but then it disappeared from the listings
