It started out as a little running gag on my Gerry Anderson TVTimes covers (see previous post). Noele Gordon (from TV's Crossroads) revealing her favourite biscuit to readers of the popular ITV listings magazine in a series of articles that on closer inspection seems to have run for nearly thirty years.
Despite the odd nice comment about the artistic merit of the covers, folk seemed to be more interested in the late soap queen's biscuit preference.
So, by popular request here it is... together with a selection of other noted celebrities from the late 60s/ early 70s.
(Oh and Colonel White DOES NOT look like Mike Pence!)

402nd post and I'm still stuck on viewmaster reels.
This is the last lot you'll be pleased to know as I'm finally bored with them now. You can probably tell as the humour is starting to look a little desperate now.
I've also attempted to recreate the sixties packaging as opposed to the rather basic 80s style.
I've been sorting through my portfolio pages over the past few days. There's quite a few unfinished pieces still lying around. This was one of them. I've finished it now. I had to do something as I was minding the flat whilst the builders were refitting my kitchen. They've finished that now. We're all finished. (Except for some of the grouting round the back of the fridge.)
The Crossroads Battles in Kings Oak trading cards is (obviously) based on the Doctor Who Battles in Time trading cards that were all over the place ten or so years ago. To be honest, some of these are so obscure, I'm sure I'm the only person who finds the idea of a Crossroads trading card game amusing and tempting...
(I don't usually upload hi-res versions of my work - but these have detail in them that's hard to read otherwise. You'll have to click on them to read them fully.)
I bought my first packet of Crossroads Battles in King Oak cards yesterday. Five to a pack with a selection of rare, medium rare, super rare, ultra rare and non-existent ones thrown into the mix.
It looks fun - though without any instructions, it's hard to see it lasting beyond the end of the week.
It seems that the Sapphire and Steel ice lolly was quite popular. Not surprising given the weather!
Here's another one I posted on Twitter.
The Nolly Lolly is now available in all good London eating establishments.
Buy it where you see this sign...
Nolly Flakes - Rose & Lemon Flavour
It seems the contents of this late 60s breakfast cereal were imported from Turkey. No one at the UK manufacturer's office was able to speak or read the Turkish labels on the base product before it was repackaged with Noele Gordon's face on it.
It was only when a Turkish speaking sales rep from another company spotted one of the labels that they discovered that they were actually selling cheap pot pourri.
At least consumers breath smelt nice at the start of the day...
