Future Fear
I've become obsessed with the podcasts of Jett Loe - Letter to America - 3 down 74 to go. I can't work out if they're as good as he thinks they are or if my obsession with it has something to do with hearing a voice from a previous life. Either way I'm enjoying them and I'd highly recommend them.
Jett was Creative Director at Telewest's broadband division - back in the early noughties when he commissioned lo-fi sci-fi television series "Future Fear" from independent production company World's End. I worked on the online design - and made the suggestion that Paul Darrow of Blake Seven fame would be perfect for the part of "The Narrator" to Jerry Drew - Executive Director of the show - and Director of World's End no less. Jerry's previous works had included the pay-per-view Cat TV a channel for our um... well yeah cats.
Paul Darrow was brilliant - I remember he was all showbiz stories and fast wit. He's reference to the director's hissy fit on set as "a touch of the Val Kilmer's" still brings a smile to my face. Jett's posted an episode here
Oddly enough a puff piece just appeared in the Independent about World's End heralding their status as "one of Britain's hottest independent television companies". Judge for yourself by visiting their website - with so much going on they must be too busy to update their news page -the last entry was WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2006.
