This image from unfinished story Shada (1980) is one of the more uninspired choices for the cover of Doctor Who Monthly issue 81. However in October 1983 when the magazine was published this image of the scientists aboard the space station from an unseen story was quite something.

The small inset picture should have been the main cover image and the Monty Python ‘It’s !’men should have been the smaller one
