Crater 101 - Production

Production

Sections of the Lunarville 6 model were constructed from recycled elements: during the sequence in which the Mysteron reconstruction of Frazer departs the base in the Lunar Tank, reused model parts include the Frost Line Command Centre dome structures from "Avalanche" and the Mini-Sat 5 space probe from "Shadow of Fear". A reference to 10 July 2058 (2058-07-10) in connection with the character of Nolan is one of a number of instances when a date of "July 10" is heard in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons — writer Tony Barwick was fond of using this date since it was his birthday.

As with all other episode names for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, the title "Crater 101" was rendered in the Microgramma font, but with the letter "I" conveying the "1"s in the number "101" — due to a belief that Microgramma "1"s are not easily distinguishable from "7"s, the change was made to ensure that the name of the episode was clear to the viewing audience.

Famous quotes containing the word production:

    ... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.
    Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)

    An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.
