Production Guide
This is the third special effects storyboard for the final episode, The Dorcons. Only 8 of the 15 shots in this board are illustrated- the others are repeats of previous shots, some with different optical effects (which would be added in post production).
The Dorcon spaceship looks a little different in these early designs - but the colours and overall configuration are similar.
