Three New Classic Doctor Who Action Figure Sets from B&M

Twitter has been all of a buzz (as they say) with news that the cheap homeware retailer, B&M will be releasing not one, not two but four sets of Doctor Who figures - including a Jon Pertwee with his TARDIS on a flat black plinth (as seen in Spearhead from Space). And a set featuring the Brigadier (Spearhead from Space), Auton (Spearhead from Space) and er... fourth Doctor (Talons of Weng Chiang). 

Oh what japes we'll all have trying to find a store that has them all in stock later this summer. 

Anyhow, here's a selection of the sets that didn't quite make it...

The Steven Moffat Memorial Clock

Look. I'm sorry I haven't posted anything since well before Christmas... but I've been busy. Busy with real life stuff and nonsense. Yes, I've still been tweeting bits and bobs but not actually updating the blog. 

Well, here I am and with a free few hours to bring things up to date.

First up is something to memorialise the life of  former Dr Who show-runner Steven Moffat. And, ironically for a writer who first coined the phrase 'timey-wimey', it's a clock.  

Don't worry he's not dead. The folk who make these things will produce tat like this at the drop of a hat. So I'v done that as well...

Doctor Who Series Eight (+ Christmas Specials) - Modern Book Covers part two

Needed some positive therapy after the shitty past few days I've had so these are the rest of Peter Capaldi's run as Doctor Who up until the present.

(Quick note to Geeky Monkey magazine. They aren't real...)

Those New Spin-off Annuals From TV's Sherlock...

Each year I produce a selection of annuals for the Christmas period. In 2015, I did one for a Sherlock spin-off series featuring Mycroft Holmes. I posted it on here - along with some others - and then it went the way of all things.

Last week, following her sterling work in the second episode of the fourth series, I posted a cover for a Mrs. Hudson Adventures annual. 

It seems to have gone down well with tweeterers. It got mentioned by the Radio Times and was featured on the #SherlockReacts show on the official BBC Sherlock channel. 

Never one to leave a gag untold and to always wring the last drop of humour from it, I did a handful of other Sherlock spin-offs and posted them to Twitter. 

Needless to say, the response has been underwhelming...

Here they are anyway... 

(By the way, I have one final Sherlock spin-off annual to post but I won't be doing it until Sunday evening on the Twitter due to potential SPOILERS!)
