Yes, the scheduling of NCS was pure vandalism, and makes me wonder whether it was done on purpose. These things do happen...

But, NCS will go down in the future as a milestone in CGI, and will be hugeat some point in the future. Film and imaging technology is an evoltion made "by standing on the shoulders of giants". Final Fantasy and NCS use a technique that was groundbreaking and needed a certain leap of faith to get completed at all. "Hypermarionation" A very laborious and in certain way runs parallel to "Supermarionale", where every single object you see has been especially painstakingly created for the show.

Investing in the future: That's the whole point I attempted to explain to various people (my accountant included). From a personal standpoint, it didn't matter to me at all if NCS was a fabulously financial success. I didn't invest for that reason. I got the chance in a very small way to help make it happen at all! That's much more valuable to me.

How could I look into the eyes of my future grandchildren and say, "Oh yes,I made a good return on that". The important thing to me is that it helpedin small way to make it happen at all, and that it will be there for everyone to see for generations.

I would LOVE the chance to see what Gerry would do with UFO. Now a Gerry Anderson Hypermarionation version of UFO 2080's would get round a lot of problems for fans. It would be possible to pay testament to the original wonderful actors by recreating their persona's, voices and even track their original body movements, actions, and emotions.

All we need are good and great story lines...

Best to all :)

I certainly think that TB or UFO could be 're-imagined' in a similar way.The main problem with UFO would be the now-iconic look since it was a 1969 view of 1980. It would look a bit like Austin powers meets Thunderbirds, sowould need some design updating. But hey, Dr Who is back, so why not Anderson stuff?.
