Beyond the camera.
Reading @la_riviere's thoroughly researched biography. Growing up in the 90s I always pronounced it Super-Mario-nation.
Having rescued a lot of the Network interview archive from oblivion (and it took a lot of wrangling) we’re now trying to find ways of getting it all out there. We’re starting with this book, but hope to follow-up with non-Anderson volumes (ITC etc).
Actually, I say he went on to see the puppets — he’d seen most already at the amazing Selfridges exhibition. As Stingray was now finished for APF they were quite happy to loan out the original puppets and sets.
Met up with a lovely guy this morning who as a child on a day in 1965 went to visit Selfridges to see the Stingray exhibition and then onto AP Films to meet the puppets and see an episode. In the background filming was some other series he’d never heard of — Thunderbirds.
