Some On-screen Captions From The Past

Here's a trio of original continuity slides from our favourite soap operas.

Peter Capaldi: An Apology

Following my posting of an embarrassing photo of the Scottish actor and current star of TV's Doctor Who, I would like to unreservedly apologise to him for any distress caused by the raking up of his sordid past via a picture that he has been trying to distance himself from since 1983.

By way of an apology, the image to the left may cheer him up... and, in turn, prevent further legal action...

Capaldi's Catalogue of Disaster...

The Scottish actor and TV's long running Doctor Who once modelled for a catalogue... 

Honest!

Urgent Message from Dalek Control on Skaro...

Terry Nation and probably David Whitaker wrote three Dalek annual-type books in the sixties and they have become much sought after collector's items.

There was supposed to be a fourth one but it didn't get published. 

Apparently it was too downbeat for the blossoming swinging sixties... 

Here's some pages anyway.

Dr. Who's Fun Facts of Space

There was a writer back in the sixties and seventies who used to write the "back-up" features for all of World Distributors annuals. 

You know the thing... the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea annual would devote whole double-page spreads to facts about salmon and seaweed whilst the Z-Cars annual went into detail about how to break into a house at night and how handcuffs worked. 

The bloke had this job for over two decades and eventually went completely mad...

...and there's this one as well...!
