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.

Terry Nation and his mates produced three Dalek annual-style books back in the 60s. The Dalek Book, The Dalek World and The Dalek Outer Space Book. Needless to say, they are classics of their kind. Pure Nation and pure Dalek-ness.
I did some sporadic abuse on the covers many moons ago to produce some alternate versions but it was early days and the work on them was a bit variable. So I've gone back to them and created something a bit more slicker. I'd even added a new Quarky varient...
These are they...
Hardback notebooks based on these designs (along with some others that may be familiar to regular viewers of my tat) are now available from my RedBubble store here.
I did a few pics last year of War Machines and Chumblies out in the wild. I've been doing some more and these are they...
A troop of melkur bask in a jungle clearing in the equatorial region of Melkurus.
Wild quarks stalk the volcanic plains of the planet Dominatus.
The alien voord wander through the idyllic bluebell forests of the second continent of Marinus.
Abandoned special weapons Daleks live peacefully at a charity-funded sanctuary in Dorset.
Repurposed Mechonoids have been running Milton Keynes railway station since 2015. The trains still do not run on time...
The ogron breeding programme at Paignton Zoo was started in 1986 and is responsible for releasing over 200 back into the wild.

I'm indebted to @pipmadeley for bringing to my attention the fact that Muller now produce a Quark yogurt.
Apparently, it's a sort of cheese/yoghurt hybrid from the continent and nothing to do with the favoured robot guards of the so-called 'Dominators' from TV's Dr. Who.
Something serious I did for some old Dr WHO stories.
Nothing funny here.
Move along please.
