I was looking through Getty Images when I came across a picture I knew, a well-known crew Century 21 crew shot, featured in the first year of the blog. In fact it was very kindly offered as a colour print by its taker, Alan Shubrook, former Century 21 model maker.
So when I saw this picture I was confused by two things:
First, it credits it to Larry Ellis and not Alan Shubrook. Who's Larry Ellis?
Second, its states that the five at the front were 'actors who play Scarlet in live-action inserts'. I had thought they were members of the pop group The Spectrum, who played the Captain Scarlet theme song.
Any thoughts readers?
That is hilarious! What a great photograph! Of course, those five lads at the front are the pop group "The Spectrum." Live-Action inserts on Captain Scarlet? Maybe a hand or two, but otherwise, I think not! Funny how writers who aren't familiar with a program can pen such obvious nonsense. I had a Captain Scarlet annual for the longest time which had a great photo of "The Spectrum," wish I had saved it...
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree Zigg!
DeleteLarry Ellis is probly the owner of the original, rather than the photographer
ReplyDeleteI see.
DeleteKeith Forsey, Spectrum drummer co-wrote the Simple Minds hit ‘Don’t you forget about me’
ReplyDeleteWow Dave, I love that song! Must be a nice little earner! Last year I posted this about Colin Forsey, his brother? https://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/2021/05/colin-forsey-of-spectrum.html
