GERRY ANDERSON ANSWERS THE SPECTRUM HEADQUARTERS FORUM QUESTIONS!
Some weeks ago, the Spectrum Headquarters Forum has been gathering questions to ask Gerry Anderson and his team about the new CGI series. Many interesting questions have been received, and have been taken into consideration for our selection; after adding them to an accompanying text, that selection has then been handed to our friend, Forum member Aegis (of the Indestructible Productions), who had offered to forward these questions to whom it may concern!
And now the exiting news is: The questions have been answered - by Mr. Anderson himself! And you are now able to read both questions and answers below, in the exact format in which they were received!
Enjoy!
Dear Mr Anderson,
Firstly we’d like to thank you so much for finding the time to read our little list of questions relating to the ‘New Captain Scarlet’. Should you be able to respond, we’d like to post your replies (with your permission, of course) on our fan website, www.spectrum-headquarters.com, which is maintained by Chris Bishop, a Canadian fan of the original Captain Scarlet who needless to say is waiting impatiently for the opportunity to see the new CGI series. We’re very much an international group of Scarlet fan, from countries all over the globe (The Americas, Asia, Europe, all the way to Australia, etc.). Most of us use aliases, by the way – they’re included in parenthesis after each question – but please don’t let that fool you with regards the sincerity of our interest in your work, as exemplified by the following introductory paragraph and question, which comes from another of your staunchest fans in Canada:
Doc Denim’s one of many foreign fans who – much to their frustration – haven’t been able to see the new show yet, so we’d like to ask two questions immediately on behalf of all of them:
The Old vs the NewMany of our group are old enough to remember the original series with much affection, and therefore inevitably have a number of questions concerned with some of the changes that have been made when creating the new series:
The TV21 Connection
A number of questions arose on the subject of tie-ins and related merchandising, and in particular the legendary comic ‘TV21’:
The New Captain Scarlet
Many other questions relate solely to aspects of the new series:
The Future
Now that we’ve had the opportunity to see the potential of CGI in the context of Captain Scarlet, the final question is not in the least bit difficult to predict:
There – that’s all of them! If you could find the time to respond to any or all of them, we’d be thrilled. In the meantime, may we wish ‘The New Captain Scarlet’ a long and successful run, and you personally every success with any new ventures that you might be planning.
Yours most sincerely,
The members of the Spectrum Headquarters Forum.
