Functionaries

[neil.perryman]

Is it just me or are the Functionaries from 'Carnival of Monsters' the
worst example of make-up in the entire history of the series?

I nearly fell off my chair in shock when they first shambled onto the
set. Bits of latex flapping around like no one's business. And it wasn't
just one of them - all of them were flapping about! It was unbelievable!

Was no effort made at all? Was all the money spent onn the pleis...plies..
the dinosaur? (Which was pretty good in comparison, looking like it
could give the Skarasen a good kicking) Did Angela Seyfang (the make-up
artist, and I use the term loosely) ever work again. I mean, it made
Silver Nemesis look polished

I thought Ian Marter was good though. He played Andrews like Harry
with a bad temper.

And as for Jon Pertwee. Does anyone know how many times in the series
he rubbed the back of his neck and looked baffled?
