Re: 5.11 - Epic
Yes the poster is in the episode. It's a prop made in the style of noir gangster movies.

Re: 5.11 - Epic
So is the picture of our friend Kirby a screen grab from the episode?
Or maybe a still?
Foggy memory apparently preventing me from being able to answer my own question!

It's a portrait still although the same shot exists (more or less) in landscape in the opening teaser of the episode.

Many thanks for your help on this one!!
Cheers!
I do see some differences - having to do with Mr. Kirby's neck wear/ascot
White in one image and black in the other
Interesting that they would do a wardrobe change or that they would have two different & separate sessions for something this simple!

Re: 5.11 - Epic
The still are done in rehearsal so there are often changes when they come to do the final filming.

Re: 5.11 - Epic
The picture on the poster does look younger than Peter Wyngarde was even in his earlier episode. Do you think he supplied them with a photo from a previous role or publicity shot? I'd love to see the original.
Or maybe the art department "de-aged" him with some airbrushing...

He most certainly does look a decade or so younger doesn't he?
Perhaps he was asked to supply an image or offered to do so and chose one he liked a lot?

Remember he was in makeup to make himself look older as the Kirby character, an aged matinee idol. Here he is a year earlier:
