Publicity Shots from Hell No.23

And while we're on the subject of the excellent "Meglos", let's rewind the clock back to the autumn of 1980, to those heady days when John Nathan-Turner turned Marvel UK's fledgling Doctor Who Monthly on its head and actually started utilising the magazine to provide its fanboy readers with information on forthcoming and current stories.
 
Not exactly rocket science, but I do think that the third monthly issue (pictured below) was the first instance that a publicity shot from a story concurrently running on screen appeared on the cover.


Unfortunately, it was a photo from the session where Tom Baker got multiple opportunities to show that his excellent cactus make-up wasn't quite as extensive as one might have hoped.
 
And you know what?
 
Back then I never even noticed that Tom's cuffs had ridden too low for credibility.


And you know what else?
 
Nowadays I don't even bloody care...
