Ice Warriors!

Just an excuse to show some of the artwork from published versions of The Ice Warriors. And why not.

The photomontage artwork for the audio CD release:


And the video special edition boxset:


And an offical Beeb colourised photo, from their website:


Which was obviously the same photo Achilleos used, together with Victoris screaming (used in the photomontae cover for the audio CD above) for the original Target cover, by Chris Achilleos:

Achilleos Art

And we shouldn't forget the artist who inspires most of these designs, Chris Achilleos. Here's a couple of recent designs which throwback to his early Target book covers.

Rose


Doomsday


And a recent(ish) working for Tomb of the Cybermen, following it's rediscovery.


Don't forget to visit Chris's site, here, where you can still buy original prints of his amazing classic Who work.

Return to the Web Planet

Here's another Anthony Dry image, from the Big Finish audio story Return to the Web Planet.

Art of Anthony Dry

I'm enjoying tying up this artists work - I knew a lot of the pictures, but not that they were all by the same guy. He's linked to Doctor Who Magazine, which I haven't bought for years, so I guess I'm the one catching up! Here's some more of his work

8th Doctor and (I'm guessing) Lucie Miller.


9th Doctor and Rose, from 'Dalek'


10th Doctor and Rose, from the Christmas Invasion.

Series 4 Doctor, Donna, Davros and Daleks artwork

I missed this at the time, but the illustration for Series 4 DVD boxset, by Anthony Dry was auctioned on eBay in August for the ART FOR HEARTS campaign. It sold for 85 quid. Someone got a bargin.

The Specials artwork

Here's another design by Anthony Dry (Ant1975uk on DeviantArt), for the official BBC Specials boxset booklet.

Fake Christmas Invasion!

I think I'm going to have to set up a label for 'fake Target covers' as I'm enjoying these. Here's one I found on DeviantArt, here, by Ant1975uk (Anthony Dry).


There's a wealth of artists showing off their Who stuff on DeviantArt, well worth exploring...

Flame-thrower Daleks in colour!

This is definitely worth looking at - colourised clips on YouTube! Here's some bits from The Dalek's Masterplan by Babelcolour (and he's done a whole lot more as well...)

Colourised Who

And here it is, the site where I grabbed the pics of Zoe in my last post. I really like these images, so here's a few more to make doubly sure you click the link and visit their site!

The images are all colourised by Michael Blumenthal.

The Daleks, from their first story.


An amazingly coloured image from Marco Polo


A funky cyberman from Moonbase.


From one of my favourite stories, the Ice Warriors.


And here's a couple of Ice Warriors creeping up on the Doctor (from Seeds of Death)...


And a couple of cybermen creeping up on Zoe from the Wheel in Space...


And look... there's me!

Zoe's finest moment

Thought it was about time we added Zoe Herriot to our list of lovely companions, played by Wendy Padbury. And here's her finest moment, at the end of episode one of the Mind Robber, left clinging to the TARDIS console as it spins into space.



Wendy Padbury portrayed Zoe Herriot from the beginning of The Wheel in Space (1968) through the end of The War Games (1969).

You'll note that these images are colourised from black and white originals. There's a whole load of dedicated artists working to colourise old Who images. I've robbed these from somewhere, so I guess now I have to try and find out where so I can credit them!

The Early Years

Here's a nice publication to download (even nicer to own) with lots of info on the early years of Who, obviously. Published in 1986 by W H Allen, and now long out of print I guess. Download it here.

Publishers blurb

On 23 November 1963 a British institution was born. After a ten minutes delay because of news of the assassination of President Kennedy, the BBC launched a new science-fiction series. Designed as a semi-educational programme, it told of the adventures in space and time of a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl and her mysterious grandfather. More than two decades later, DOCTOR WHO has become the longest-running science fiction TV series in the world.

DOCTOR WHO - THE EARLY YEARS is a detailed and informed account of the origin and the making of the television series. For the first time ever, the blueprints for the original Daleks are reproduced, together with stills from TV episodes that have long since been lost; cast lists and plot breakdowns from the early years are printed, together with interviews and photographs of all those involved in the making of DOCTOR WHO — from the Canadian-born Sydney Newman who instigated the series, to the designers, writers, actors and producers who made the show an unqualified success.


Written with the full co-operation of prominent designers and producers, and packed with behind-the-scenes interviews and rare photographs, THE EARLY YEARS is an indispensible reference work, and is destined to become a classic work on the early years of British TV science fiction.

Water from Mars?

Here's a classic Who oddity... 'Dr Who Premium Drinking Water' from Singapore. With thanks again to Axonite's Sci-Fi Ramblings.

Cosmic Hobo

Here's some 'rare' (I don't understand how photographs can be rare, especially didgital ones, but anyway, it sounds good!) Troughton promo pics... from Axonite's Sci-Fi Ramblings (there's two pics and you can download them both from his site).

Notice how the image above was obviously used by the artist for the second Doctor comic strip 'header' image (used in my post on the second Doctor comics here).

The Incredible Hulk Presents...

The Incredible Hulk Presents was a short-lived weekly comic produced by Marvel UK in 1989. Amongst other material it contained black and white original Doctor Who strips featuring the Seventh Doctor.

The Incredible Hulk Presents was launched on the 30th September 1989, with issue #1 bearing a cover date of 7th October 1989, and lasted twelve issues, costing 40p for the entirety of its run. The original intention was for the new comic strips to also be reprinted in Doctor Who Magazine, as Marvel UK did not believe the two audiences would overlap, with The Incredible Hulk Presents probably having an audience of younger readers. Doctor Who Magazine editor John Freeman was opposed as he believed this would interfere with his own attempts to give the DWM strip direction. In the event, only one story was printed in both titles, Hunger from the Ends of Time. One unpublished strip, Doctor Conkeror was produced for the unprinted issue #13. It later saw print in Doctor Who Magazine number 162.

Strips

IHP01 Once in a Lifetime
IHP02 Hunger from the Ends of Time

IHP05 A Switch in Time

You can download the strips here.

Top Trumps (1978)

Here's something we haven't looked at before, the Jotastar 1978 Top Trumps set.

You can download the set here. The artwork's a bit rough, and the game itself is a bit dodgy, half made up of historical earth characters that have never appeared in Who. And the scores of the cards is a bit bonkers. In fact, you're probably better off making your own game, but anyway!

Download the Cadet Dalek cards

Back here I did a post introducing the Cadet Dalek cards from the early days of Dalekmania, 1964.

You can download scans of the cards, and a nice little introduction bit, here.

You'll notice I'm posting a lot of links to Mediafire and Rapidshare file sharing downloads. They are not my sites, but ones set up by other dedicated Who fans, often unknown, who we thank for their efforts!

These sites are very popular at the moment, and there's loads of Who stuff out there to download. However, there are concerns that there will be a clampdown on copyright infringement, so grab what you can whilst you can is my advice.

Most of the downloads come in the .cbr format - 'Comic Book Reader'. If you dont use this software, you can easily get the files still just by changing the file name extension from .cbr to .rar and opening and extracting the files using Winrar.

Amazing World of Doctor Who (1976)

Way back here I did a post on the 'Amazing World of Doctor Who' Annual which was produced at part of the Ty-phoo tea promotion.

Well, surprise surprise, you can download some of it here.

Laser Disks!

Back when video was king, there was a strange invention called laser disks, which were the size of your 33' vynal record, yet all shiny and metallic like on one side (the base was typically white plastic). They were the future apparently. Yes, clumsy DVD's the size of frying pans, which needed special equipment to play them...

Well, somewhere along my internet travels I found these three images. Their labelled 4, 5 and 6, which sort of suggests that maybe there were another 3 issued first, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the main interest for me is the artwork, which I think is pretty cool. No idea who the artist is, as I don't actually have any more information about these at all. Anyone else?

Altered Vistas

And thanks again to Doctor Who Comic Fun.

Dalek Omnibus (1976)

Doctor Who and the Daleks Omnibus, edited by Dalek creator Terry Nation, was published by St. Martins Press in 1976 especially for Marks and Spencer. It featured a collection of articles and photographs related to the Daleks as they had appeared in Doctor Who, as well as abridged and illustrated reprints of the novelisations 'Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks' and 'Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks' by Terrance Dicks.

Though the novelisations do take up the majority of the book, the Omnibus is interesting for what else is included. A piece called "The Seventh Galaxy" provided some details about the Dalek's home galaxy. Another called "On Camera" provided photography and script extracts from Genesis of the Daleks. "The Forbidden Planet" described Skaro's two moons, Omega Mysterium and Falkus. A behind-the-scenes feature called "Doctor Who and the Daleks Media History" provided what would have been, at the time of publication, one of the first complete overviews of the various serials, stage plays and films in which the Daleks had appeared. "Invasion - the enemy within", a comic strip, was the lone piece of original fiction. The volume's new material was rounded off with a few diagrams of the anatomy of a Dalek and blueprints of a so-called "Dalek Deep Space Cruiser".


Altered Vistas, on their 'In The Comics' site, suggest the comic strip might be written by Terry Nation. It tells of a Dalek attack on an inhabited planet and the installation there of a huge Dalek army. As the book also contains an abridged version of the novelisation of Planet of the Daleks, this planet may well be Spiridon.

I've got my copy packed away somewhere, and as yet I haven't found scans of this avaiable online.

Worth it just for the cover (artist unknown), but lavishly illustrated throughout, including some quite good stuff. Not to be confused with the other, later, Dalek Omnibus, which contained three stories by Terrance Dicks... I'll do a post on that another time...

Chad Valley 'Give A Show' Projector (1965)

Here's a post I've been meaning to do for ages. The Chad Valley 'Give A Show' projector. Now to kids of the 60's Chad Valley projectors need no introduction. However, to kids of the 90's they probably need to be explained...


Chad Valley were the company who produced little plastic viewing 'projectors' - basically a torch, in front of which you held a slide! The accompanying slide-type stills, which you selected image by image, ran on to create a short story. Ah, life was simple in those days.


Chad Valley was, effectively, the PSP of its day, and covered many different kids shows, including Doctor Who. Have a look here for an extensive look at the Chad Valley history.

The set we're interested in, the Chad Valley Doctor Who set, was produced in 1965. Click through to the 'Give A Show' section on the link above, scroll down until you see the Who set, and click... and you'll see a nice library of ALL the images used in the stories.

137 - DOCTOR WHO IN LILLIPUT
138 - THE DALEKS DESTROY THE ZOMITES
139 - DOCTOR WHO ON THE AQUA PLANET
140 - DOCTOR WHO IN THE SPIDER’S WEB
141 - DOCTOR WHO MEETS THE WATERMEN
142 - THE DEFEAT OF THE DALEKS
143 - THE SECRETS OF TARDIS
144 - THE DALEKS ARE FOILED
145 - DOCTOR WHO AND THE NERVE MACHINE
146 - THE ICE-AGE MONSTER
147 - RESCUED FROM THE DALEKS
148 - ESCAPE FROM THE AQUAFIEN
149 - WHERE DIAMONDS ARE WORTHLESS
150 - THE PREHISTORIC MONSTER
151 - ON THE PLANET VORTIS
152 - THE ZARBI ARE DESTROYED


Now there's lots of these Chad Valley sets available, but the one us Who fans want is obviously, the Who one, illustrated above, which came with a special Who branded box. There's one on ebay at the moment with a 'buy-it-now' price of 199 UK Pounds. Other versions have the odd Dalek amongst non-Who images on the cover, so I suppose they are collectable as well, but sell for much lower amounts.

You could also buy the slide strips seperately from the projector, so I guess there are Who sets out there, perhaps even unopened in their original sales packaging... maybe. Who knows.


I can't remember where the images I've used for this post came from, so apologies (and thanks) if they're yours.

Some bright spark has put the slides into little film edits and posted them on YouTube:

PART 1



PART 2



PART 3



PART 4



Well worth a watch if you have the time to spare...

Now the only thing I want to know is how I rip these vids from YouTube so I can save them for my own personal pleasure... just in case they dissapear from YouTube when the solar flares hit.

Fury of the Daleks

I don't normally post links to download audios and things which still have a ongoing commercial value, as I don't like to promote the illegal copying of copywrited material - for example the Big Finish audios. Now don't get me wrong - I hate this commercial consumeristic society as much as the next manic mad man, and obviously a meglomanic like myself delights in breaking the law. But I don't want to help you undermine the business of Big Finish and perhaps risk them going belly up, and so bringing to an end their productions.

So you won't find me linking to Big Finish audios, or the Target novelisation audios, or the BBC narrated soundtracks, all of which are highly recommended, but ongoing commercial concerns. It's all out there, somewhere, if you know where to look. Alternatively get a job and buy them!

However with older BBC stuff it's a bit different - firstly, I paid my license fee, so I sort of think I've paid for Who already! Then, after you have bought loads of stuff, you sort of think well, hey, I deserve some freebies. Well, these audio stories have long been deleted, and as such represent a little piece of history which should be preserved for the future, before the plastic tape they were released on crumbles into dust.


In the early 1990's, as part of the Who 30th anniversary, the Beeb released several Troughton adventures in a new test format under the title of 'The Missing Stories'. The original television soundtrack of 'lost' stories (with episodes missing from the BBC archive) were released with linking narration provided by living Doctors (number 3, 4 and 6). These were only released on cassette (vynal was dead and CD's unborn), and as such could easily go the way of the original episodes and be lost to the world forever.

The stories are:

Power of the Daleks (narrated by Tom Baker)
Macra Terror (narrated by Colin Baker)
Evil of the Daleks (narrated by Tom Baker)
Tomb of the Cybermen (narrated by Jon Pertwee)
Fury from the Deep (narrated by Tom Baker)

It's interesting to note that about the same time, Tomb of the Cybermen was rediscovered, and quickly released on video. Good old Tom gives a typically bonkers performance, reading the stories in the first person, which does take a bit to get used to.


Later the format would be developed into the BBC audio stories, released on CD, and with cleaner and better quality audio. All of the above stories were re-done and re-released, except, strangely, the Macra Terror, which was released with Colin Baker's narration.

Anyway, as the format is largely defunct, and the titles long deleted, here's a link to a page where some wonderfully techy type person has transferred them from audio to MP3 and posted for us all to enjoy. (Here's where we say thank you wonderful techy type person!) There's only two stories up there ready at the moment, Power of the Daleks and Fury from the Deep, but as both are total classics, it's well worth trying these out. The others will hopefully appear on the same link in due course.

Alternatively you can pick the stories up second hand on ebay and the like. The used to be mega rare and highly collectable, with a price tag to match, but since the CD releases, their value has dropped to a couple of quid per story. All you need then is a cassette player...

If you've not listened to the audio recordings of the missing stories, then give these a go. They get better with the second wave of releases, which are availbale on CD and cover many first and second doctor stories.

Killer Kylie

Well, having posted the lovely Katy Manning with her Dalek friend, I have to follow up with the just as lovely Kylie Minogue, cuddling up to a New Series style Dalek as part of an official photoshoot from her Christmas 2007 Who appearance. Oh, how we love Kylie. I think once I take over the universe I shall make her my Empress.

Off Target

Here's another mock early Target cover, this time a rendition of Warriors of the Deep but with a Troughton Doctor, so following on from the other Silurian stuff I posted here.

The image is by Daryl Joyce, whose online galleries can be found here. Daryl's done a lot of official Who work, see the TARDIS wiki for more info. There's more of his work on DeviantArt, here.

I think this is a great image, and even more interesting to think of Warriors as a Troughton story. Would it have been better? Probably not - even Troughton and team would have stuggled to make this story work. But it couldn't have been any worse.

Golden Wonder Comic Strips

Here's something I recently found which I hadn't seen before - scans of the complete series of promotional strips produced by Golden Wonder in 1986.

There are a total of six mini 'comics' that were released: 1 "Revelation", 2 "Fun House", 3 "War Game", 4 "Once Upon a Time Lord", 5 "The Shape Shifter" and 6 "Voyager-Dreams of Eternity". The comics themselves were colourised reprints of Doctor Who Magazine's comic strips from the time, featuring the Sixth Doctor and his shape shifting companion Frobisher (and minus Peri).

You can download the full set of strips here.

Dr Who Space Adventure Advert

Here's an advert for the 1967 Walls 'Space Adventure' promotion, featured in an earlier post (here).


Thanks to 'Doctor Who Comic Fun' blog for the pic. He also shows another advert:


And he has page by page scans of the accompanying book - click here.

You can download the album here. Somewhere I've got scans of all the cards... which I will post when I get organised!

Katy Manning Supporters Club

Just thought I should make an emphatic statement on this one. Yes, this blog is pro-Jo. In fact we love Jo. And Katy Manning, obviously, who played Jo - and, who is about to play Jo again, for the new Sarah Jane Adventures story, Death of the Doctor, written by good ol' Russel T Davies.

Katy Manning portrayed Jo (Josephine) Grant from the beginning of Terror of the Autons (1971) through the end of The Green Death (1973).

I really wanted a photo of Katy as Jo running around in a short mini-skirt and showing some leg. But I don't have such a shot to hand, so here's one of Jo looking intelligent and sophisticated. Well, as intelligent and sophisticated as Jo gets, anyway.


Now Katy Manning made a bit of a fuss a long time back, when she posed for some photos for a men's magazine... naughty girl. However I think the fuss was more due to the unofficial use of a Dalek... (Look away now if you don't wan't to see a naked Katy hugging a Dalek... too late? shame.)


Hat's off to you Katy, to date the only Who girl, to date anyway, with the balls to 'bare all'.

Katy Manning's newly launched 'official' website is here, complete with a nice photo gallery, allthough sadly lacking her intimate dalek shots.

However you can find them online... try CosmoBells (I know it's on there somewhere, but just can't find it! If you do find it, please post the link here!)

Doctor Who Comic Fun

Ooops

Hello. No, I'm not dead, it's just that plotting to take over the universe does take a little time here and there.

Well I sort of ran out of steam on the blogs for the new series... to be honest, it's not what this blog is all about (what is it about I hear you say!), and then there was 'Vincent and the Doctor', which just did my head in. Decided the whole series needed a re-watch, at a later date... perhaps in a year or two!

Anyway, yes, this blog will continue, although I don't know when, as in the next few months I will probably be too busy (with a very, very cunning plan).

Meanwhile, I will be gathering everything and anything Who related to regurgitate at you at a later date...
