Post Pod

[Danny Stephenson]

I’ve just been watching the Series II Model shots, and i’ve never really noticed this before but the Post Pod looks like it’s been fashioned after a traditional red Royal Mail post box. With P P written on the “door” instead of E R. I know that it must seem obvious that that is what it should look like, but still. Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it common knowledge that that’s what it was?

Discuss.

Thankyou.

I though everybody had noticed this…!

On the other hand, it’s only recently that I noticed a bluescreen foreground element added to Marooned at the end (as Lister returns to get his guitar) – boxes and barrels added to a (hand-held wide shot to cover up the studio floor…

Also, in Polymorph, at both moments when Kryten starts vacuuming in the bunkroom a polymorph ‘morph’ sound effect is clearly audible.

Weird.

I didn’t notice it either.

it’s amazing how much you miss, even though you’ve seen it literally hundreds of times!

And with the Post Pod, I’m not sure itf it’s just me, or whether my tv and dvd are not set right it’s not a very clear model shot, a lot of it is very dark, and there is only one part where the light catches it. I had to pause it to see the detail. It’s very quick.

Cheers Andrew, i’ll have to look out for those bluescren elements next time…

I too thought everyone had noticed this, even on the old poor quality VHS cassettes its blatently noticable :-/

Think the same shot is used for Hudzen’s delivery capsule too. Before the remastered version, obviously.
