Just Some Timeslip Merchandise...

Despite my love of the early 70s sci-fi serial Timeslip, I've done very few designs based on the show... 'til now. 

This is a selection of stuff I did over a week when I needed a distraction from reality.

You Too Can Own Original Bits of Power of the Daleks!!!

Some of the late BBC designer Derek Dodd's original colour photos from Power of the Daleks recently went under the hammer at auction. The price estimate put the very rare (and largely unseen) stills way out of most fans price bracket and they had to make do with the artistically arranged lo-res photo of the collection on the auction house's website to get a basic feel of their awesome-ness. 

But fear not! There are plans to make the stills available to everyone (at a reasonable price). 

You TOO can own a genuine piece of Doctor Who history... just like the BIG fans do!

The Trial of the Time Lord original 70s Target book covers...

This seems to be a bit of a habit now - producing new Target book covers for Doctor Who seasons as they are announced as brand spanking new blu-ray sets. 

The much lamented Trial of the Time Lord season was officially named as the next box set a few weeks back and (luckily) I had a few ideas up my sleeve for this short season from 1986. I thought my original 70s Target designs for some of Jodie Whittaker's episodes worked quite well so I went back to those early works of art for this little set.

A Few Random Things...

Sorry I haven't updated the blog for the past month. Had a very difficult few weeks and been very busy with personal stuff.

Here's a few random pieces what I've done recently to get the ball rolling with some much needed additions to the blog...



The "Escape from the Forsyte Saga" game is just an updated version of something I did in the very early days of the blog. I've recently been trying to come up with some more TV-based board games but to no avail... 

The Quark sweet cigarettes were apparently suggested as a real thing back in the 60s. Richard Bignell recently uncovered BBC paperwork that revealed a company enquired after the licence to produce these. But the falling out between Mervyn Haisman & Henry Lincoln over the rights to the Quarks meant that didn't get much further than a memo.
