The photo is from an American publication.

They look like characters from an early Dr Who - but who's the guy in the front row with a beard but no mask? Doesn't look happy.

I thought it was a beard at first too, but look closely and you can see it's a filter connected to a mouthpiece, and presumably he has a noseclip.

What I want to know is, who's the one next to him at the end in the Ann Widdecombe horror mask?
