The Late Chocolate Egg post

It's been a couple of years since I did some faux chocolate eggs. Last year, it was lockdown-time and I had other things on my mind so I dug out the old favourites like the Giant Maggot egg and the Alpha Centauri egg. I nearly did the same this year but thought better of it. 

But what to make them. Something totally different from Doctor Who. Sapphire & Steel is always popular so I did a World in Action one. THEN followed it with Sapphire & Steel...

The other two came naturally. Particularly pleased with The Tomorrow People ones. Which would use choose? Blue or Green?

Doctor Who Easter Eggs from the 70s!

Yes, as can be worked out from both my previous post and the date on the calendar, it's only a few days until the Easter holiday (and the start of a new series of TV's DrWHO!). 

To get everyone into a chocolate eggy mood, here's a few Easter eggs that didn't quite make it onto the shelves during Jon Pertwee's stint as the errant Time Lord. 

Don't eat them all at once... 

A Doctor Who Easter Egg for the 21st Century!

Fans of a certain age will recall a certain Doctor Who Easter egg produced by Suchard back in the early 80s that featured both a Dalek and the fifth Doctor. The box was in the shape of the TARDIS and the Dalek was depicted on the front firing its gun stick. If you opened the TARDIS door, then a grinning Peter Davison was revealed looking very pleased with himself. 

Fans with dirty minds also got the added bonus of seeing where the Dalek's ray now appeared to be firing from. You could also use a tab on the side of the box to wiggle the Doctor about a bit... which only served to make things worse. 

I've done an updated version which attempts to capture the magic of the original. 

(Oh, and you will notice that the word 'Easter' is NOT on the 1980s box. Neither was it on the Doctor-less Dalek egg that Suchard produced the following year. Indeed, it's never been common place to use the term 'Easter egg' on chocolate eggs. Ever. Not putting 'Easter' on chocolate egg boxes is not a new thing... Take note.)
