About a month ago I was wandering around an antiques cellar in the midlands, and came across this latex mask of the 1984 version of the Silurians. The information card it came with suggested that it was taken from the original mould, but I'm not certain if it's one of the three used on screen. One things for sure, this one hadn't really survived the last 27 years that well, and the eyes had been badly painted a ghastly yellow. I thought I'd take up the challenge and try my hand at restoration work over the coming months. I started by getting rid of those dreadful yellow eyes today:

Wow, you found that in an antiques place! I must be going to all the wrong ones then!

In those straight-on shots it looks almost exactly like one of my 7th Grade teachers.

Now I'm really frightened.
