* Further details of JNT's disapproval of the cover are revealed in Richard Molesworth's book The John Nathan-Turner Production Diary 1979-1990. Marvel had previously contacted the Doctor Who production office asking for JNT to approve the cover (at a point when it was still possible to change it) using the phrasing "as soon as possible". When JNT finally got around to looking at the cover and rejecting it, it was explained to him that the costs of reprinting would have such an impact on the budget that the repercussions would include having to make at least two Marvel staff members redundant. JNT grudgingly agreed to let the cover run, but pointed out that the phrase "as soon as possible" had been inappropriate as it had not fully communicated the urgency with which the approval decision had needed to be made. | |||
