Speaking of "Close Up"...

When NASA is getting ready to launch the rocket containing the probe, and they show the men in the NASA control room, one of them has an American accent. And he either butchers the pronunciation of the word "telemetry", or is using a British pronunciation of the word (is it different than we folks in the US say it?). In either case it was wrong for a person with an American accent. The way he said it was similar to this: tell-uh-me-tree
A minor point, but after watching the episodes so many times, one has a tendency to notice such things.

I might have an explanation for that. The actor was Bob Sherman, an
American based in the UK but he was (for some reason) dubbed by
Shane Rimmer, a Canadian. Canadians, despite broadly having
American accents, pronounce certain words in the British manner (for
example they pronounce Lieutenant as "leftenant" and
not "lootenant").

Thanks for the explanation! Makes sense. But how the heck did you find out that Bob Sherman's voice was replaced with Shane's? Or do you just pay closer attention than I do? : )

Jeff,

Chris Bentley's book on UFO provided the information...but after
years of watching Thunderbirds and various Bond movies, it gets
easier to detect Shane Rimmer's voice :)

Thanks NIck. I'm going to have to check and see if the Chris Bentley book is available here in the US.

I am reminded of "Close Up" yet again as I look at the pictures
currently coming back from Titan!

Not one of the best episodes, I agree, but Gabrielle Drake does look
fabulous in it.

I had exactly that thought when I saw the first image, and wondered
what the range was - it could have been a few feet, or many miles.

Turned out it was 16km, if I remember correctly.
