   Your television is working fine; a tattoo is indeed visible in
"Doctor Who and the Silurians".  I haven't seen short sleeves in
any other Pertwee episodes, but the tattoo can be seen in the shower
scene (talk about exposure!) in "Spearhead from Space".  I recall
being told that the tattoo is genuine, but I don't have the source
available at the moment.
