April Walker - the original Sarah Smith

This is something of a "What if" picture.
Westley Smith and myself produced this for Richard Bignell's third issue of the brilliant "Nothing at the End of the Lane" book.
April walker was the first choice as Sarah Jane Smith, but due to one thing and another, she never got to appear as the Doctor's companion. So the idea was to do a mock Radio Times cover depicting Ms Walker as she may have appeared in The Time Warrior.

It allowed me and Westley to emulate the wonderful style of Frank Bellamy, who I must say, I've been ripping off for years.
Hope you like and please look at the Nothing at the End of the lane site - the books are amazing and publish loads of unseen photos.
