TERRAHAWKS READ THRU AT ANDERCON:2015

On the very rare occasion  I ever find myself watching Terrahawks, there's a couple of things about the series I don't particularly care for. One is the grotesque looking puppets, and the other is the cringe inducing scripts.

Okay, I know a lot of you do like the show, even I enjoy the models and special effects. A young Steve Begg was just starting out, working with a minuscule budget, and look where he ended up.  Plus,I'd rather see practical special effects, good or bad, over CGI anytime.

Anyway, at Andercon last year the audience was treated to a live read -through of a Terrahawks audio adventure, which I believe was specially written  by the friend to puppets everywhere, Stephen La Rivière.

Playing all the parts were Jeremy Hitchen, Robbie Stevens and Richard Long, with Nicholas Briggs providing the sound effects (Matt Zimmerman appeared at some point, but I'm not sure why)

To be honest I can't remember anything about the plot, apart from the fact that everyone did seem to enjoy it. So for anyone who feels the urge to relive the experience here's a few photos.
