This months Swordcast is a very special edition. I recently had the very great pleasure to interview Ken Holt, production manager for Century 21 films. Kens varied career spans several decades in the film industry, from his days with MGM working on the oscar winning Tom Thumb to joining Gerry Andersons team at Slough in 1964.
Ken, pictured at left with the late Derek Meddings, talked at length about his work with the effects team on Thunderbirds and UFO and his friendship with Gerry and Derek. He also talks about the period when Stanley Kubrick came to MGM to film 2001.
Brilliant interview Bill. Its great to listen to Ken's talkes of his life in effects and films. A great recording! Thanks for sharing and hope readers like it too when our friends at Radio Celtica air it. Great stuff Bill. Who's next?
