Ta-Dah!

Another super photo of Sara Kingdom, taken on the 'Hollywood set' for 'The Feast of Steven' (Episode Seven of The Daleks' Master Plan).
 
For the recording of the character's death, an instruction on the surviving 'Cutting Script' reads:
 
'Whip tilt to Sara’s sleeve. Skeleton hand has now gone, in place of skeleton’s fingers traced out in bicarbonate of soda as if they are the remaining lime deposits of what was the skeleton.'
 
This fascinating behind-the-scenes detail comes from one of the 890 endnotes featured in Magic Bullet Publishing's forthcoming book, The Daleks' Master Plan: The Making of a Television Serial.
