Getting only a grey box

We've just about got it working, we've just gotten to the stage where we're getting a grey box and no images/text.

I tried replacing the 4 lines, but that did not make a difference.

Here's what we have:

    *

      'news_items'

    *

      stdClass::__set_state(array(
         'nid' => '33',
         'node_title' => 'Ann around town',
         'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_pager_item_text_value' => NULL,
         'node_type' => 'ddblock_news_item',
         'node_vid' => '246',
         'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_slide_text_value' => NULL,
         'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_fid' => NULL,
         'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_list' => NULL,
         'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_data' => NULL,
         'node_revisions_body' => '

      Body text here Body text here Body text here Body text here Body text here Body text here
      ',
         'node_revisions_format' => '2',
         'node_created' => '1248932768',
      ))
