Steve from Beds has saved the day! He says Hey Woodsy, this is the panel you're looking for. First from Thunderbirds Are Go...
and next, Dr. Who's Ark In Space! I think the words at the bottom of the panel say "READOUT COUNT DOWN SYSTEM
MKII" or something similar - sounds typically Thunderbirds to me - probably
operates by clockwork!
Woodsy says: Excellent Steve! Well spotted and well screengrabbed! I wonder if any other Dr. Who or BBC TV shows used Century 21 gadgets and gizmos like this? Does anyone know anymore about what Kevin has described, that the BBC got hold of general Century 21 props when they folded?
Caught Ark In Space on the Horror Channel on Freeview at the weekend and also noticed this. In Ark in Space the dials don't work though, must have been broken by then!
ReplyDelete:) In the 70s after Gerry's Century 21 closed some of the props and spacesuits made for UFO were rented to the BBC and ITV for Dr Who, Blake's 7 and even Come Back Mrs Noah by a few ex-employees who set up their own company - Century 21 props.
