Here's the team in action. As you can see, they all like to help out. In retrospect, with this particular picture, if the wall cutout had been raised a fraction higher than it was, then I could have hidden more of the original on the background, Howard and Marina are leaning back on push pins...

This weeks contribution is the Howard/Marina on a wall picture. A slightly more complicated set up than usual, especially as the figures I use are difficult to pose sitting if they are in skirts (the ladies) or long coats (some of the gents). I hope it has worked. I bet no-one would have...

I've just watched 'Enter The Finger' and wonder about the scene where Barry is being fitted out by Alvin, Truly and Billy for martial arts. I didn't recognize the living room set and would be interested to know whose room it was supposed to be. If it was Alvin's, as I assume, then he has had...

I was 'off' this after 15 minutes, but struggled through to the end hoping it would improve. I won't be bothering again.

The first two are basically as you say, an A4 print with the figures stood in front of it. I have to leave the feet out, as they are usually blu-tak'd down to stop the figure falling. I have a few ideas about photos where figures are behind objects (Pearl and Eli for example) but will have to...

Thanks for those. I'll work on the Howard/Marina photo when I get time at the weekend. Cooper and Walsh are a little more difficult, as they have a recognisable uniform, and I don't have any suitable figures. Perhaps I might get hold of a couple of the Brigadier, do a remodel and respray, but...

One more, for the time being. Unfortunately I couldn't move 'Compo's' left arm into the right position, so it will have to do. If I find an appropriate 'Howard/Marina' scene I have an international pop star ready to cast as Marina.

I played with it again, should be there now. I think the original file was too large, which was why it didn't load.

First of all, thank you to Pete for allowing him to mess with his photos, and to Becky for suggesting the thread title. Here is the second of my Dr Who toy figure 'lash ups' in tribute to scenes from our favourite TV series. This one from 'Follow That Bottle' This doesn't work with all...

Barry (Mike Grady) currently appearing in one of his early roles as Kevin in Citizen Smith, currently being rerun on the Drama channel.

Not all CGI. There's an article in the current Radio Times, showing a technician up to his knees in water in front of a massive model of Tracy Island.

Isn't the actual downstairs of the house used for Clegg the kitchen? Isn't that the reason that angle shots through the door were difficult and limited? I thought I read that in Alan Bell's book.

We're talking of the exterior here, I would think the interior set would be kept from series to series so wouldn't change (perhaps the new position wasn't noticed by the continuity people while filming outside shots). I would imagine that exteriors would be shot in batches of instalments to save...

Here's another puzzlement for you, and I confess that I don't know the answer. Yesterday I was watching 'The Incredible Ordeal of Norman Clegg' and I noticed that his letter box was at waist level on a stable door type front door. Now I'm fairly certain that at some stage Howard waggled his...

It would probably be easier these days, with the improved technology. Provided someone has the programmes recorded. The problem would rise when the issue of copyright comes along (whoops! I just brought it out, sorry)

Thank you for the lucid explanation. I'll bear that in mind when ordering. Like you, and everybody else, I wish the distributors would get on and issue the rest of the set, especially as the programmes don't seem to appear on the various repeats. ij

I've just been going through my DVD sets to see which I still need and have noticed an inconsistency with series numbering compared to Alan Bell's listings in his book. According to the book/DVD labelling, series 9 comes as series 9/10, series 10 comes as 11, 11 as 12, and so forth up to series...

I hope this comes out at the right size.

Yes, they are part of a set of all the Dr Who's up to Matt Smith. I just happen to have them lying around and they were the right size to fit the photo. A little mor effort would have produced a better result.

a new casting? Not wishing to hijack the thread, but I had a few spare minutes and here's my version of the trio at the bridge. The bossy one, the scruffy one and the 'normal' one. It's not brilliant in pose (cleggy's head is not quite in the right direction for one thing) or trimming, but may...
