Same here. About 7 or 8 years ago I had the great pleasure to film an interview with Gerry Anderson at his office at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire. He was a perfect gentleman and I was enjoying a perk of my job - meeting someone I had always respected. Can't remember much about it except that Pinewood has its own security force and I had parked illegally - space was tight I recall. I had a 'parking ticket' reminding me not to park there again or face the wrath of studio executives! The ticket lived for years on my camera case but alas, it has vanished as these things inevitably do. Great memory. To this day, some Dinky toys live on nearby shelves: an interceptor and ground mobile from UFO, and (of course) Thunderbird 2. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Producion ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
