UFO content in latest Fanderson magazine

Hi all,

I just received the latest issue of Fanderson's FAB magazine (FAB #70),
plus the yearly Fanderson membership bonus item -- both which contain
stuff of interest to UFO fans.

The magazine contains a very short update on the UFO film, which
is nothing you haven't read online already (i.e. "no news").  There
is also an interview with actor John Levene, who played Interceptor
pilot #2 in the UFO episode CLOSE UP.  I find this a bit amusing,
because this was such a tiny part, and the actor seemed so excited
by it!  There is an article on the various home 8mm film
releases for the Gerry Anderson TV series, which of course includes
the Italian UFO releases.  Finally, in the letters section
they note that they have no idea whatever happened to Suzanne
Neve since the early 1980's, which means that they know less
than we do here.  :-)

The bonus item is a booklet on the various Gerry Anderson viewmaster
sets, which of course includes the UFO viewmasters.  You can see
all of the photos and the booklet pages here (but you also see
these on my UFO website).  Also, I would have thought in this
day and age, better scans could have been made from the viewmaster
photos -- I think the scans I made from mine in the 1990's are
higher quality than this, and I'm sure I could make even better
scans if I were to redo this today...

Also, I see that they mixed up the photos/descriptions for some
of the UFO viewmaster photos (#18 - #21) -- unless there are
different versions of the viewmasters floating around?

Okay, I just verified this with a quick test scan.

On my UFO website, I made this viewmaster scan a long time ago
(the late 1990's?):

Using current technology, here is a new scan:

  http://ufoseries.com/temp/viewmasterTest.jpg

Much better.

Marc

take it to the next step??

Were the images 3d??  If so, there is software that merges it and if you use red/green (?) glasses, you can see the image in 3d looking at one image.

Yes, these are 3-D images, and on my original page for this, I scanned the
pairs so they could be viewed using 3-D print viewer glasses:

  http://ufoseries.com/3d/

So I'd think that the "next step" would be to rescan everything using my
current scanner and make images for whatever 3-D glasses technology is "in"
these days (hopefully it's not red/blue glasses?)

Marc

I can also create a 3d single graphic file too, that people with Nintendo 3ds or 3d TV's can see it.  The original image that had two images side by side, they looked like the same image, just twice.  Will cut and paste it later, see how it looks.

Yes, well it would be better not to require someone to own something
expensive -- for example, the current "stereo pairs" are viewable
with cheap plastic glasses.

> The original image that had two images side by side, they looked

Look at the left and right edges of the images -- these are two
different images, and are in 3-D when viewed correctly:

... and I think I'd be inclined to keep the 3-D technology the
same as before, making them viewable via 3-D stereo pair print
viewers.  I'd increase the resolution of the scans, though, so
you might need a viewer that can handle larger images (or
shrink them on your computer).

For example, the viewer I use now is this one, which is good
for two side-by-side images that are a total of 8" wide:

While this more expensive viewer could be used for larger stereo
pairs:

Do we know more?
IMDB has almost no information on her at all.

Yes, and that appears to be the extent of Fanderson's
research -- looking her up on IMBD.

However, I did some Googling on her several years ago,
and reported here that she had been teaching at Mountview
drama school (London) as recently as 2006.  And I just did
some more searching today, and discovered that she has
been married to director Richard Martin (who directed Doctor
Who episodes in the early 1960's), and that they taught
acting classes together at Mountview in the mid 1990's.  
Plus both were spotted at a book launch in 2009 (Peter
Purves' autobiography).

From http://peterpurves.net/currentactivities.html:

  "And I was also thrilled to have the man who responsible
   for my career ever taking off, director Richard Martin,
   and his wife actress Suzanne Neve, in attendance."

Marc

Speaking of Suzanne Neve (and it also being Christmas-time),
I see that the 1970 film "Scrooge" is now out on Blu-ray
disc.  This features Suzanne Neve and also David Collings
(Daniel Clark from THE PSYCHOBOMBS).

I don't think I've ever seen this...

Marc

So Marc, you are now related to Suzanne Neve : )
 
All the best,
Branko

Weird. I was only humming the first bar of this 1970 musical "Thank you very much, (repeat)...that's the nicest thing that anybody's ever done for me.." etc (sung by Anton Rogers of all people) They don't put this on anymore. We always get the TV version with Patrick Stewart and Richard bleedin' E Grant and (apologies the American colourised 1951 version with Alistair Sym. David Collings plays Bob Crachet if you don't know. I love this film so if you can watch it.

Nerd fact over.

Thank you

Stevan

I was just singing that song the other day!  I never saw Scrooge, but always wanted to.  I didn't know Suzanne was in it!  I sang that song in choir in JR. High and loved it, not knowing what the song was actually referring to (Scrooge's death.)  Tis the season to sing Christmas carols, after all!  *grin*

Your're right there! I hadn't seen the 1951 film until 2001 and I think I seen haven't seen the 1970 version since last century!

I was watching an episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man" yesterday and in the opening credits I saw "Jane Merrow"? I would never have recognised her, unless it was another actress with the same name (but doubtful). Remind me, she was in "The Dalotek Affair" ?

Thanks

Stevan

The actress from Dalotek Affair is Tracy Reed who oddly has the same name as an
American actress who is black.

Thanks for the heads-up!  But isn't Suzanne in the 1970 version?
