Found Friday


I love this post card. It's copyrighted 1997, from the days when Who was still off the air and waiting to be reinvented. I went to a Dr Who convention in Chester about that time with my BBC chum Alan (we got in free, hurrah!), so I'm guessing I picked it up then. On the reverse it says 'Monoliths - No. 8 in a series of 12' and is copyrighted to IB Productions. I had a couple of others, one of the Tardis in a snowy landscape, the other also surrounded by standing stones, but as an aerial photo. I imagine they are knocking about the house somewhere, too, gathering a fine layer of dust just like this one. I assume they're clever Photoshopped-type affairs; I can't imagine they had a full-scale model Tardis to drag about - jolly clever though, eh? I'm fairly sure this is the Ring of Brodgar on Orkney, but there's no information about the locality on the card.

  2. Actually they DID have a full-size TARDIS to lug about, I met one of the guys responsible & he told me he'd got a few bruises assembling it! I've still got the full set of the posters they did...
