The Doctor and Barbara's Sunbathing Blankets
The Doctor and Barbara spread these blankets across the ground just outside the TARDIS, reclining fully clothed to catch some sun after fleeing the Daleks. The Doctor stretches out on his, relaxed enough to hum a tune that Barbara mistakes for the Time and Space Visualiser's alarm. She lies alert on hers nearby, blankets providing a thin layer between them and the alien soil during this deceptive pause in their desperate escape.
