Sophie Aldred as Ace. This 25th season three part serial
(7k) was first transmitted on 11/23/88. This was
the silver anniversary show for Doctor Who.
At about six minutes into the first episode, the Doctor
and Ace are listening to a Jazz concert in a garden
restaurant setting. Ace lifts this paper to check
the football scores on the back while showing the
viewers the headline of the approaching meteor.
The paper is one sheet folded in half with printing
on the front and back. When opened the inside is
blank. The meteor article is limited to the first
two paragraphs with the remainder of the text about
bargain holiday vacations. Put a real copy of the
Mirror inside this sheet of paper and you have the
completed effect.
The Doctor and Ace sit back to enjoy a Jazz concert while they
soak up a bit of sun. Ace checks the football scores
on the back of the Daily Mirror exposing a glimpse
of the upcoming adventure. The Doctor meanwhile
tries to remember why he set the alarm on his pocket
watch, which is currently interrupting the mellow
tunes with a very annoying beeping.
The Provenance
The paper was sent to Mary by the Doctor Who production
office February of 1988 in response to a request for
fund raising materials. John Nathan-Turner was always
very generous to community activities.
I bought the paper from Mary Souder of Rohnoke Virginia
on the 12th of September 2002 through a eBay auction.
It now resides in my collection located in Virginia,
USA.
