A vortex with "The Looking it of the Daleks" written on it. The Daleks were considered too associated with Dr Who and eventually were dropped, and the BBC approached Trevor State to design a new monster that would go on to be much more famous. Picture shows the words "The Looking it of the Daleks" (indicating the writer is Northern Irish?)

Possibly @BigJackBrass remembers it. When the first episode of Bok hit the screen and the viewing audience were introduced to the vortex effect and the catchphrase of "Was that Gargoyle there ten minutes ago?" they went wild. Children were literally standing in the street with their mouths open to catch rain
