Citation needed

Howe, David J.; Stammers, Mark (1996) [1995]. Doctor Who Companions (paperback ed.). London: Doctor Who Books. p. 60. ISBN 0-86369-921-9. After leaving Doctor Who, Katy Manning posed for a men's magazine in an attempt to dispel her Doctor Who image - on page 61, there is a photo of Katy Manning, wearing only spangly boots and her trademark rings, hugging a Dalek. The hardback edition (pub. 1995) has a different photo which is more suggestive (but no more revealing). The magazine is not named; but following one of the links removed by Hullaballoo Wolfowitz reveals not only the name, but a scan of the cover. We can therefore state "Exclusive! TV's Katy Strips". Girl Illustrated. 8 (10): cover. Retrieved 10 July 2009.

Both photos used by Howe & Stammers are from the same session as that which produced the cover photo for GI vol. 8 iss. 10 - it's a similar setup, but the model adopts different poses between the three, and the Dalek's stalks are also at different positions.

The same website suggests that the year was 1976, which might not be correct; I have seen other scanned images, two of which have partially-dated captions. One shows a fourth photo from that session, captioned 'In an attempt to throw off her Doctor Who image, Katy Manning poses naked for Girl Illustrated magazine (1977)'. Another, showing a completely different picture, is also captioned, part of which states 'Much to the disgust of Lalla Ward, Katy posed nude for the men's magazine "Girl Illustrated" in 1978'; the year is doubtful, since the same caption also states 'Children ... born 1978'.

Reliable sources

Trivia sites are not reliable and IMDB is not in general a reliable source -- see Wikipedia:Reliable source examples#Use of electronic or online sources. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 21:17, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, one out of three ain't bad, considering the number of blogs and fan forums (not to mention Wikipedia mirrors) that I had to wade through. I don't suppose a set of scans of the actual mag are acceptable? --Redrose64 (talk) 21:21, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That would be WP:PRIMARY, probably with WP:OR as well. I'm not convinced that The Register is reliable either. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 21:25, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
