Vintage Season Box Sets For The First Dr WHO

The William Hartnell box set cover seemed to go down well so I've completed the set. I don't think the style will suit Patrick Troughton's Dr WHO though. 

Might need a re-think...

(The first Hartnell box set is here.)

Christmas with the TV's Survivors

It's nearly Christmas again and the shops are full of festive merchandise and cheer. Well they are round my patch...

You may recall the LP "A Very Survivors Christmas" from a few years back based on the Terry Nation series of the 70s. (Not that remake thing with Julie Graham).

Well here's more from that particular selection box.. 

BBC DVD Box Art Re-done

After a particularly heavy week, I felt the need to do something a bit more serious so I did something I'd been meaning to do for some time. That was to clean up and re-do the DVD box art I'd created for myself many years ago for the Quatermass Trilogy. I (like so many others) don't particularly like the artwork that the BBC used on the original release. It looked more Evil Dead then classic BBC drama! 

I had based the design on the classic Penguin Books style and it seemed to work. Folks on Twitter have always shown their appreciation on the look. But it was one of the first mock covers I'd attempted in Photoshop and I certainly no longer had the original layered file on any of my current drives. 

So this new version has been created from scratch and includes a back cover more in tune with BBC DVD releases. It even includes the actual bar code from the commerical version! 

I've also done ones for A For Andromeda and a speculative (but vintage) one for the first season of Doctor Who.

Even More Vintage TV Viewmaster Reels

402nd post and I'm still stuck on viewmaster reels. 

This is the last lot you'll be pleased to know as I'm finally bored with them now. You can probably tell as the humour is starting to look a little desperate now. 

I've also attempted to recreate the sixties packaging as opposed to the rather basic 80s style.

 

More Vintage TV Viewmaster Reels...

Here's six more them to be going on with. Apologies.
