Notice SB74 is completely out of proportion for its stated size. 13.3K meters is over 8 miles. The windows and doors and antennas are absurdly huge.
Guessing The Okudas didn’t weigh in on this thing.

Hexagonal wall pattern as seen in many BBC productions, appearing here (looking rather tatty) in the sci-fi horror film Inseminoid (1981)

I love how that wall pattern broke BBC confinement and became a cinematic sci-fi clichΓ©

Surprised to discover that 1 of pair of thermometer props from The Seeds of Death & Colony in Space turns up hiding on a table in Sondergaard's lab in The Mutants.
#DoctorWho The Mutants is also where triangle pattern was created that will be seen frequently onwards.

If the BBC could film it in the late 60s on a TV budget, it’s doable (I actually have a vague memory of watching this now lost episode - yeah I’m old)

For clarity:
I will block people who use AI.
I will block people who think AI "thinks" anything.
I will block people who prompt AI for the LOLs.
I will block people who report back "AI said this".

My friends in the Hell Times, do not use the theftbot for any purpose, for your sake and everyone's.

In the 80s the Masters TARDIS copies the Doctors, in #DoctorWho Colony in Space, most of the Master's control room back and left corner is made from the Time Lord conference room in Ep1. Also the smaller Cybership can be seen on the floor by the door of the Primitive's 'lumber room'.

One time our cat leapt onto the table when we weren’t looking and licked some wasabi. There was much regrets 😿

Funny how Gerry Anderson productions had a much more realistic timeframe for humans landing on another planet than most other media

The trouble with these Tardis corridors is that they look like any old TV scifi spaceship.

β˜•οΈ & Monsters: Mad Monsters from Charlton only ran 10 issues in the early to mid β€˜60’s. Never saw one as a kid, so it’s fun to acquaint myself with this publication. Has that charming, Charlton, cheaper paper vibe like the comics. Has an ad I’ve never seen. Even had mystery bags back then.
