1964 Chad Valley Doctor Who, Part 1!

Hopefully, you aren't tiring of the UK Give-A-Show stuff yet, because I'm just getting started! But don't worry, there will be a break coming, sort of... because June will be Bionic Month at the Give-A-Show Blog! That's right, all the month of June, I'll be featuring both the Kenner and Chad Valley Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman slides! Bionic Month may not quite last all month, but we'll see how it goes!

After that, we'll probably go back to the 1960s again, as I will have the Super Show Projector slides ready by then, plus the Remco Ugly Mugly Doctor Doolittle and the TV shows sets, but I may throw in some Chad Valley between some of those.

Stuff to look forward to in the Chad Valley Stuff will include sets starring Stingray, Thunderbirds, Winnie the Pooh, the Disneyland 2nd Edition, Batman, and the Jungle Book!



Here's the checklist for the Doctor Who set... as always, it's thanks to Kevin Law's extensive Chad Valley Give-A-Show site that this is available here! Go check it out, why don't you? It's on the links list!

91 - BOUNCING BIRD - Daffy Duck
92 - KITE CAPER - Sylvester & Tweety

1963 Chad Valley Super Show Projector!

Here's the slides that I believe were unique to Chad Valley's Super Show Projector (as of this writing, I'm still waiting for mine to arrive in the mail)!



81 - ROY ROGERS MARK OF THE BIG CAT
82 - NODDY AND THE BLACK DOLL *
83 - SUPERCAR, TREE ON THE LINE *
84 - FIREBALL XL5 SAVES THE MOON *
85 - MONKEYS IN SPACE
86 - THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
87 - MOMENTS IN HISTORY *
88 - POPEYE, SWEET PEA'S DONUT TREE

Slide #81 (Chad Valley numbered all their slides in sequence) had originally appeared as slide #6 of Kenner's 1962 "Red" series. "Monkeys in Space" and "The Wright Brothers" were part of Kenner's "Adventure Time" set in 1962. So far as I know, the Popeye one was unique to Chad Valley -- it certainly looks like a different style than Kenner's Popeye slides!
