Target Cover Competition - Group 17

[Paul Clement]

[SiHart]

I've gone for the bright and colourful Claws of Axos, despite wondering what the hell Pertwee is wearing.

The Dominators and Morbius are discounted for being video covers over book covers (depite Morbius being pretty good if you ask me). The Daemons is just dull, and Abominable Snowmen might have won it- it was a close call.

[Ralph]

It was Daemons or Abominable Snowman for me

[Paul Clement]

Aright awful bunch here, Abominable Snowmen gets my vote for the Yeti alone.

[Wayne]

It was Daemons or Abominable Snowman for me

Daemons for me.

[Jonno]

So which one got your vote, Ralph?!

Hmmm, Achilleos 3 Pearson 2. As Si said, you have to discount the Pearsons for actually being video covers - out of the other three, the only one I have in my collection is Snowmen, so that gets my vote - I do like his unhappy looking Troughton and it's another one I remember from 30 odd years ago.

[Dirk Gently]

(depite Morbius being pretty good if you ask me)

I agree & that's why it got my vote.

[Ralph]

So which one got your vote, Ralph?!

You need to ask?

[SiHart]

Ralph, admit it! You too were suduced by Jamie's pink anorak, weren't you?

Never really noticed it before, but is it from when he's on the Moon in Frontier?

[Larry]

Brain of Morbius for me the rest are all pretty dull - Axos is ok but the drawing of Pertwee just lets it down .

[Stuart Wallis]

That's what I've always assumed.

I'll have Morbius please. All these covers have a lot of empty space on them; at least Axos and Morbius have tried to avoid having plain backgrounds, and Morbius is well-drawn.

[Dave Tudor]

I think this is a good selection, and I was seriously considering going for the excellent 'Morbius' cover, but, like others, I've discounted it for being a video cover. 'Axos' almost got my vote, and I was even tempted by 'The Daemons', but in the end I went for the classic 'Abominable Snowmen' image - complete with mucky-faced Troughton!

[Pip Madeley]

A strong group! But I went for "The Daemons" - it's a nice concept, and the illustrations of Azal, Bok & Pert are spot on.

[SiHart]

The popularity of The Daemons baffles me.

[Dirk Gently]

Nostalgia will blind all but the most focused of minds, Si.

[Dave Tudor]

Nostalgia will blind all but the most focused of minds, Si.

Somebody, put that line in a 'Who' script!!!

[Rob McCow]

I didn't vote for the Daemons because it looks like an enormous fart.

[Pip Madeley]

Remind me not to come round to yours for sprout soup.

[Dave Tudor]

Steve, if your farts look like Chris Achilleos covers, then what on earth have you got hanging on your living room wall!?!?

[Lord President]

I had to go for BoM!
