There was a story a few months back that Big Finish had finally run out of promotional photos from the 1996 TV movie. Presumably this is the response.
No this was a custom-made part costume by WETA given to McGann at a convention in Auckland by the con organiser, so while the BBC have okayed it, it's not from them or Big Finish. That said, yes BF have had to be more imaginative with their McGann shots - the cover for
Death in Blackpool is partially a screencap from the TV Movie, for example.
The first pics broke
just as I was finishing my painting of the BTD Eighth Doctor figure (more Leo Sayer than Paul McGann, but hey ho). Given the bodged detail on their version I wouldn't say no to an independent releasing an alternative though. 'Byron Marwood - Vernean chrononaut', perhaps?
