Publicity Shots from Hell No.1

So tell me; who the hell in their right mind would judge this here photo to be worthy publicity material to promote a television drama serial, or anything else for that matter?


That being said, it does actually manage to convey pretty much everything you need to know about "Black Orchid", so in one respect it is possibly one of the most lucid and self-aware decisions John Nathan-Turner ever made.

It's also one of the gayest Doctor Who photos ever, which is nice.

And while I am on the subject of Terence Dudley's finest 50 minutes, here's one of those popular beat combos you kids have these days.


Obviously these four lads were very impressed by Terence's gripping tale of mystery and intrigue on the Cranleigh estate. Either that or they're into DC Comics, and I'm not sure which is worse.

But let's be honest. It's a much better name than "Leisure Hive". (But not as good as "Underworld").

Now, if they were called "The Time Monsters", that would be a different thing altogether...
