The last batch… for now… #DoctorWho

I am having great fun working on the colour version of The Celestial Toyroom. I must be mad!

Here’s a sneak peak at some of the model sheets for the TARDIS crew.

If you’re looking forward to watching a William Hartnell episode in full colour, and want to give me a bit of extra motivation to get it finished, you can buy me a coffee here:

Thank you so much to everyone who has already ‘tipped’ me. 😘

Blake’s 7: Exodus isn’t quite finished yet, which is a bit of a worry as today is my last chance to get it over the line before Christmas Eve! 😬

Don’t panic (yet) - I’ll try to pull another late-nighter to get it finished. If you’d like to help keep me motivated and caffeine-fuelled, feel free to buy me a coffee on my Kofi page. Otherwise Exodus might have to be a Christmas 2026 treat! 😲

The last few days have been busier than expected, and it looks like I’ll be burning the midnight oil to get the new Blake’s 7 episode - Exodus - finished on time. I could really use some coffee right now… and yes, this is me very obviously plugging my Ko-fi page. Subtle as a shot in the back from Avon!

If you’ve enjoyed the trailer for Exodus and are excited for the full episode, you’re very welcome to buy me a coffee as a simple way of saying thank you. One person already has - thanks, Steve! - which is lovely, but let’s be honest, that’s not enough caffeine to guarantee the episode will ever get finished.

I do this purely for the love of Blake’s 7, but there’s a lot of work behind the scenes. Ko-fi just helps make it sustainable and keeps me motivated to continue doing things like this.

As ever, I’m genuinely grateful if you do want to show your appreciation - and completely understand if you don’t. I understand in the same way Servalan would understand. ;)

Pina Colada time! #pissed

How lucky we are to have these stunning Blake’s 7 box sets. The episodes have never looked better - the restoration work by @PaulVanezis is nothing short of breathtaking. Paired with the jaw-dropping yet beautifully faithful new effects from @InvincibleChr1s and his team, it truly feels like watching the series for the first time. Pure magic.

Blake’s 7 has always deserved this level of care and respect , I just never imagined we’d actually see it.

Altogether now: “There’s never been a better time to be a Blake’s 7 fan!”

(I’ll come to the extras later!)
