Lost media alert!

In the Doctor Who episode Blink, there are a number of DVDs for fake movies:

A list of nine fake titles used in the episode was included on the "Banos DVDs" section of the defunct Doctor Who website:

Breakfast in the Rain

Dance of Days

Civilization Zero

Angel Smile

Falling Star

One Oak Country

My Best Friend's Boyfriend

Mean Teens

Shooting the Sun

The DVD covers were also included, but only one was successfully archived!

I found only two more covers from a different Doctor Who website:

Did anyone happen to save these images?

Blink is the most famous episode of Doctor Who and these glorious stock photo DVD covers deserve to be preserved!

[nerdy-chocobo]

I've gotta say going from watching the legend of ruby sunday and seeing the doctor going crazy about the idea of possibly having a granddaughter (having not seen the rest of the series and just watching it bc my boyfriend was)

to then going and watching the original 1960s run and seeing a character who literally calls him grandfather (made even more confusing because BBC iplayer doesn't have the first episode and jumps straight to the daleks so I missed all the set up) is quite the experience

[idontevenknow7878]

Does anyone have any recordings of the power of the daleks? Was at a family members house and heard it being mentioned, now I wanna find it for them

[i-like-media]

I am once again wishing for this footage to get found

text reads as follows:

[A large rock blocks his path. He pulls a tape measure from a pocket.]

[He measures the rock and then taps his leg mischievously.]

[He moves back, breaks into a run and leap frogs the rock.]

[portuguesedisaster]

Someone stop me.

On Doctors and Donnas and not quite going home again

I never mean to quit Doctor Who. And I never mean for it to become my whole personality. I just cycle through one and then the other every few years.

After intending to still watch after Clara left…I didn’t. And then I kept meaning to check in on Thirteen…and didn’t.

I wasn’t even going to watch the new episode tonight until I was struck with this all consuming I MUST WATCH. I was going to keep my distance and hold the show accountable for what it did to Donna and how I’m still mad.

…but nope. This show did its little thing it does to me and I’m back, baby!

[theangelshavethephonebox]

Can't remember if I've made this post but in case I haven't: Does anyone know Ash, from AshGotBored, the old Deca vines YT channel? The channel's gone and I miss the videos, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone either had the videos or knows Ash and can put my in touch. Thanks Decablr/Whoblr xx

[grinchheadsincorporated]

my dearest grinchheads, we have returned. We have not returned emptyhanded, as we have a significant lead in our search. Before disclosing said lead, we find it important to emphasize that in our absence, we did not grow bored of this search. It has been a trying few years, and this search has taken us to some wild places, some of which we weren't able to update on here on this blog. Without further ado, we have found the active youtube account of who we believe to be the original artist and creator behind the blenda character. We have requested an interview with the suspected artist that we would no doubt post here, for you grinchheads to sink your teeth into. If we do not update again, presume us dead, or still in search of the elusive blenda. Until then stay strong, stay vigilant my grinchheads.

-hoops and J,
