When it comes to the important trial of the soon-to-be-captured renegade known as the Doctor, only the most learned talents capable of dispensing legalities and justice towards and against him will do, of which the seemingly incorruptible Inquisitor and the Time Lord's fierce and calculating prosecuting officer, the Valeyard, fit the brief. A memorable pairing on screen of glamorous and stately Lynda Bellingham, alongside respected character actor Michael Jayston, who'd both appear in their respective roles across all fourteen episodes of the bold The Trial of a Time Lord season comprising the show's twenty-third make-or-break year.
Lovely work by Alister Pearson for the ultimately unused cover art, I believe due to contractual reasons, for The Ultimate Foe Target Books adaptation.
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Mister Jayston today (5/2/24) after a short illness. A respected actor with a considerable career of accomplishment, who will be much-missed.
