THE LIVE ACTION YEARS: ANDERCON GUESTS

One of the drawbacks at Andercon was trying to fit in all the guest interviews as well as all the exclusive screenings, both which ran concurrently.

While I tried to get as many guest photos as I could, ultimately I'm bound to have missed the odd one here and there at the times when  I popped into Cinema Anderson, so If I miss any one who attended that's my excuse.

And now on with the show.

The stage is set....

The audience waits in anticipation...

The interviewer for all the guest slots is genial host,  Kevin Davis, director of many spin-off video documentaries associated with cult television sci-fi as well as creating the graphics on the title sequence to Terrahawks.

The opening interviews  on the Saturday featured four guests who had been involved in the live action sci-fi Anderson series, UFO and Space 1999.

From left to right: Georgina Moon, Ken Holt, Prentis Hancock and Pam Rose.

Pam Rose appeared in several second season episodes of Space 1999 as a command centre operative, as well as a uncredited appearance in Star Wars.

  However,  when asked about her appearances in the seldom seen, Star Maidens she had absolutely no recollection of being in the series.

Prentis Hancock is, of course well known to devotees of Space 1999 as Paul Morrow, second in command on Moonbase Alpha.

He was asked if he'd been disappointed not to have returned to appear in the second series. Quite definitely he exclaimed. He had become close friends with the rest of the cast, who were sad to find he hadn't made it to that second lot.

Studio and Production Manager, Ken Holt joined the Anderson team during the production of Thunderbirds and continued until UFO.

We are, of course very fond of Mr Holt here at Moonbase Central following his interviews with our very own Wotan.  I have to say I briefly bumped into Ken during the Con and found him a charming and modest bloke. You're welcome back here anytime Ken.

 Georgina Moon appeared in UFO as Skydiver Operative Lt. Sylvia Howell. Apart from her Anderson credits she also appeared in many classic comedies as well as several 'Carry On..' films. On top of that a regular role as Erotica in Frankie Howerd's, 'Up Pompeii!

She was asked what she thought of the string vest Skydiver uniform she wore in UFO!

On stage next, The Four Feather Falls Reunion.

PS I'd like to give credit to the excellent Main Mission set used as the back drop on the stage which really did look the part. It was mentioned but I failed to make a note . So if someone can let me know who the builders were I'd be grateful.
