In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.

Well Marc, these old photos are a bit like original BBC plans and 'missing' episodes - they seem to have a habit of turning up in the oddest places!  :)

Can you say; is it a composite of two different crops from the original or have the corners been edited out for some reason?

I believe it was published and that it is a scan from the publication but with the text removed.

What a great picture, now I can see how to make it work with this other image I have --

Set 7 - Landscape Ext.jpg

I think I will have to work up a 3D model this weekend --

Later

Wow, Tony! That image is really crisp! You can even see the seams where the sections of rocks-and-cliff-face set are put together. (At first I thought it was just shadows from the lines overhead; then I noticed what looked like some sort of "hinge pins" in a few places holding sections together; and then oslm's floor plans seem to confirm what I was seeing were seams.)

I for one am glad they do, and I hope they keep doing it! Thank you so much for sharing your finds.

It seems Clayton Hickman has an unedited (albeit, cropped on the right) version of that studio set photo:

Seems like a good time to do a composite.

Unfortunately I don't have photoshop until I go home on 6th...

Anyone else feeling creative? :)

Well, I've done my best. What's annoying is that each version of the image seems to be cropped and sized differently, and (probably owing to different scanning sources) there's a minor distortion that means when you line up the edges, the Tardis doesn't quite match when you blend them...
So, I've fudged, and only concentrated on matching the edge with missing cut-outs.

As you can see, in the end it doesn't add much more than the top of the wall and the wheel on the boom-mic dolly.

Alternative version with the layers switched - the image cropped this time top and bottom. All you lose here is some lighting rigging and a blank piece of floor:
