Description
Written by
Think of any cult/fantasy television show of the 1960s or 70s and the chances are that they were created by ITC, the company owned by legendary media tycoon Lew Grade. In an incredible 25 years of unrivalled creativity, ITC produced such enduringly popular programmes as: THE SAINT, THUNDERBIRDS, THE PRISONER, RANDALL AND HOPKIRK (DECEASED), CAPTAIN SCARLET, THE MUPPET SHOW, SAPPHIRE AND STEEL, SPACE 1999, THE PERSUADERS, JASON KING, STINGRAY, DANGER MAN, JOE 90, THE CHAMPIONS, UFO and a host of others.
CULT TV: THE GOLDEN AGE OF ITC is a unique celebration of this televisual golden age. For the first time in one book, the incredible stories behind the making of these enduringly popular shows are told by the actors, directors and creators involved in bringing them to the small screen. Robert Sellers' stellar list of almost 50 interviewees includes such international stars as Sir Roger Moore, Tony Curtis and Robert Vaughn; legendary animators Sylvia and Gerry Anderson; Jane Henson, widow of Muppets creator Jim Henson; Oscar-nominated director Franco Zeffirelli; and cult stars such as Peter Wyngarde and Ian Ogilvy.
