Yeah, and I'm pretty sure his costume was his own doing, really, too.

I would entirely believe it.

I haven't done either of them! And I hadn't thought of Peter Cushing, but I'm sure he would.

I formally request Peter Cushing as Palladium, then. He's wearing an Elemental ensemble if ever I've seen one. Besides, in 1955 he was still doing far more television than film—most of which didn't even make it to the stage of being recorded for later burnination—so the budget might stretch just far enough!
