I especially like your take on special effects, which I've never heard articulated in exactly that way before (i.e. both accepting "signifier instead of signified," as we still do with stage plays, but rejecting the "visuals stunt the imagination" argument), which I entirely agree with both parts of.Andrew Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453328821252013152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202625234167413814.post-59298913504839788642013-09-14T19:50:53.703+01:002013-09-14T19:50:53.703+01:00"Europe After the Rain'?

But their unsettling stillness, their drab nightmarishness, nevertheless make for a closer fit to the petrified forest of the mind.Gavin Burrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347163260510316959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202625234167413814.post-72542005465384038932007-11-25T01:53:00.000+00:002007-11-25T01:53:00.000+00:00Thanks for your comment, James.To be honest she de...Thanks for your comment, James.<BR/><BR/>To be honest she deserves a far better send-off than I gave her here. I'd (mostly) written this piece already and posted it when I heard the news.<BR/><BR/>I suspect she was quite crucial in the way early Doctor Who was able to 'do the double', create intelligent and thought-provoking science fiction that found a general audience. I hope someone who knows more about its production history writes something that does her some justice.Gavin Burrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347163260510316959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202625234167413814.post-21150297501544193482007-11-24T18:56:00.000+00:002007-11-24T18:56:00.000+00:00I have literally just learned about Verity Lambert...I have literally just learned about Verity Lambert as I have learned about her passing. She left a large legacy because so many people enjoy what she greatly contributed too even if they do not know her name. Thanks for posting about her.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>JamesJames Diggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012171864888969953noreply@blogger.com
