Let's Make a Chumbley Army!

Terry Nation's Daleks from TV's Dr. Who were everywhere in the sixties. 

You could also find the odd Mechonoid and Zarbi if you looked real hard. 

But what about Chumblies - the little robots that assisted the 'beautiful' Drahvins in their attempt to defeat the 'ugly' Rills. 

I'm sure the writer of the Doctor Who serial 'Galaxy Four' - William Emms - had high hopes of them becoming the next Daleks. 

However, Chumblimania was not to be. 

Or was it?



You can't have too many Chumblies...

A Couple of Old Doctor Who Target Books

Two more Doctor Who Target books - both done using the original layout. 

The first is one for the Tenth Planet that should've been in this little collection but I just couldn't get it to look right until now. 

This second one came to me last Saturday night when I was toying around with what the title for 'The Girl Who Died' would be had it been a Target novel. 'Doctor Who and the Vikings' has the ring of an early Target book about it... so I did this as a one-off.

I'll post the proper one AFTER the new episode airs. 

SPOILERS! 

Doctor Who and the Fisher King - Target book cover

A bit late posting this one to the blog. It's been on my Twitter feed since Saturday night and seems to be liked a bit.

If you don't already follow me on Twitter, please do so as I always post links to updates on here as they happen. The link is here.

Thanks.

Announcing The Official Conservative Party Figurine Collection

I do tend to avoid politics when I'm online. It's not that I'm not interested in politics. I tend to prefer direct action to endlessly debating things. I put it down to my impatience with ignorant opinion and it's the sort of people who have these sort of opinions that you end up arguing with to the point you're just going round in circles... a waste of time really. 

But occasionally I find something online in the world of politics that just tickles me.

Recently images of two Conservative party politicians started doing the rounds of social media and I had to add my own four pennies to the mix. 

All I can add is that... Yes - standing with your feet apart during a presentation denotes confidence but standing with your feet too far apart will also give the impression you're about to take a rather deliberate 'fecal' dump in the middle of the stage....

... or that you're posing for your own plastic action figure in the way that only SF action heroes pose! 

I post this with apologies and acknowledgement to the friends I have working so hard in the collectable figurine part work industry. Keep up the good work.

The Target book steam engine chugs merrily on with this little effort for 'Under the Lake'. 

Stay tuned for the sequel... or is this the prequel to next week's episode?

God knows these days...
