Sshhh, Spode needn't know
Ok, it's from The Dalek Invasion of Earth. I actually took the photo of the poster at the Doctor Who Experience, which is why it's a bit wonky.

Thanks!

Very spiffy 

Good to see a Bovril ad in there. Bovril sure have had some incredible ads.

Hot crumpets smeared with butter and Bovril - my favourite!
