The Official Crossroads Ice Lolly!

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...

New Series Doctor Who Target Books Without Cover Text

Despite my preference for doing humourous stuff, it seems that my efforts on creating faux Doctor Who Target book covers for the new series - from Rose to Last Christmas - have gone down quite well with folk. 

Thanks to some mentions on various sites and podcasts, they still remain the most popular posts on this blog. 

Also had some very nice comments about them. 

I'm hoping to produce some proper prints of selected ones shortly and I'll keep you posted as to their availability.

I've had a few requests to post some of the original Target designs without text. 

So here's a selection of my favourites...

Love and Monsters

End of the World

Day of the Moon

Rose

The Girl Who Waited

A Good Man Goes To War

The Day of the Doctor (1)

The Day of the Doctor (2)

Dark Water

The Bells of Saint John

The Last Cyberman

Voyage of the Damned

The Official Doctor Who Garden Fete is Go!

Seems that BBC cutbacks have affected the forthcoming official Doctor Who Festival planned for this November....


Oh..... and NO autographs!!!

The Original Dalek Death Ray Ice Lolly!

When Wall's launched the Dalek Death Ray ice lolly in 1975, their manufacturing department took the name a little too literally resulting in it being hastily withdrawn and replaced by the now familiar 'mint and chocolate flavour' ice cream. 



















In the absence of an effective death ray, I give you the official Sapphire and Steel ice lolly from Lyons Maid....

09.04.2017 - IMPORTANT UPDATE: The above Sapphire and Steel ice lolly is (like all of the TV merchandise on this blog) a fake created by me. It's silly isn't it? Even in the 1970s, who'd have produced an ice lolly with what is effectively a stainless steel knife at its centre. And what kind of company would use "I don't trust it!" as a by-line on its advertising. No. It's a completely made up piece of merchandise. But it hasn't stopped folk from being fooled by it over the years. When I originally posted it, some enterprising ebayer decided they'd produce fridge magnets using the image believing it to be a genuine ad. Comments on Twitter have also come from people who genuinely think they remember it. I will say it again. The Sapphire and Steel does not exist. It is a figment of my and hopefully, your imagination. Goodnight. x
