I-kaleidoscope yemifanekiso yobuntwana idlala ngakwiliso lengqondo yam xa ndikhumbula uthotho lweentsomi lwe-UFO, yonke icacile…
Isibhengezo
Abahlobo bam kunye nam senza kwakhona ukumiliselwa kwe-Interceptor ngokuwisa izilayidi zokudlala; ukungxama ekhaya ukusuka kumdlalo wasekhaya weMaidenhead United ukubukela isiqendu esinamandla, esingaphantsi kwamanzi; abafazi besilivere ngeenwele ezimfusa; ii-UFOs ezijikelezayo ezimangazayo ngokwazo nengxolo yazo eyoyikisayo ...
Inkumbulo enye igqithile, kwaye yandoyikisa: umkhweli wehashe uziqhelanisa nokutsiba ebaleni lomfama, kwaye intaba yakhe echithiweyo iyaqhubeka nokukhula. Sika ukuvala isikhombisi sabafundi abajonge kumatyholo akufutshane.
Kodwa emva koko u-UFO ka-Gerry kunye no-Sylvia Anderson-uthotho lwabo lokuqala lwe-TV emva komtya weepopu-show hits kubandakanya uStingray, iThunderbirds kunye noCaptain Scarlet kunye neMysterons - yayingengomnyama kuphela kwaye ingabantu abadala kodwa ngokufanelekileyo eyoyikisayo.
Intloko ye-SHADO, u-Commander Ed Straker, wayedlalwa ngu-Ed Bishop, owayekade edlala phambili kwifilimu u-Anderson Journey to Far Side of the Sun
Uyawubona umnqweno wokwenza into emnyama kuKapteni Scarlet, kodwa ngoku baziva bekhululekile, utshilo unyana kaGerry uJamie Anderson wowe-1969, xa kwakuqala ukufota. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndicinga ukuba kukho uluvo lokuba 'Asenzi abantwana' kubonisa ngakumbi! '
Kwaye ngonyaka wayo wama-50, i-UFO isandula ukukhutshwa kwiqonga lokusasaza iBritBox, ke abalandeli kunye nabantu abatsha banokuyonwabela. Eyona nto intle, utsho uJamie, namhlanje ongumvelisi kunye nomlawuli.
Ugqirha kunye nemvumi uDee Anderson, intombi kaSylvia uyongeza, Kuyonwabisa kakhulu ukwazisa isizukulwana esitsha kolu thotho.

Uqikelelo lweUFO luchaphazela iindwendwe ezivela kwilizwe elifayo eliza eMhlabeni ukuza kuthumba abantu kwaye bebe amalungu abo ukuze baphile (banxiba iisuti ezinxibileyo ezibomvu kunye neelensi ezinxibelelana nabantwana ukukhusela amehlo abo kulwelo oluhlaza lweoksijini kwiminqwazi yabo). Kwaye iinzame ze-SHADO, umbutho onobutyebi obuninzi, umbutho wezomkhosi osebenza ngokufihlakeleyo ngaphantsi kwesitudiyo sefilimu, kokubini ukugxotha ukungenelela kwabaphambukeli kunye nokuyigcina iyimfihlo kwilizwe liphela.
I-SHADO inemigca emithathu ephambili yokuzikhusela ngokuchasene nee-UFOs ezinezixhobo ze-laser: i-single-missile Interceptor craft ephuma kwiikratshi kwi-Moonbase eyenzelwe injongo; Iinkwili ezisebenza esibhakabhakeni ezinokuthi ziqalise ukulwa phantsi kwamaza; kunye neqela leenqwelo-mafutha ezinjengeetanki ukuze zisetyenziswe kwindawo enehlathi.
Kuninzi okwenziweyo kwibinzana lokwakha umhlaba ngokunxulumene neefilimu zangoku, uthotho lweTV kunye nemidlalo yevidiyo, kwaye iiAndersons zazingaphambi komdlalo ngaloo ndlela. Kodwa luthotho luphi isikhundla kwi-CV yabo ngokubhekisele kubalandeli? UNick Williams, usihlalo kaFanderson, uxelela RadioTimes.com I-UFO ihlala ikwimveliso ezintathu eziphezulu zeAnderson phakathi kwamalungu ethu- ecaleni kweThunderbirds kunye neNdawo: 1999.
Kwaye uRichard Farrell, umhleli we-Andersonic fanzine, uyongeza, Ukudityaniswa kwesinxibo salo se-retro-futuristic kunye neziphumo ezikhethekileyo zobugcisa ezenze ukuba lahlukile ngeli xesha kwaye libe negalelo kwisibheno esihlala sihleli.
Umbonisi we-TV kunye nentatheli uSamira Ahmed usixelela,I-UFO ngakumbi i-Commander Straker kunye nabafazi abaneenwele ezimfusa ze-SHADO Moonbase yayiyeyona nkumbulo yam yokuqala kwi-TV. Ndingaba malunga nesibini ngo-1970.
Ngaba bubushushu obumhlophe bobuchwephesha obenziwe inyama akunjalo? Ukuwubukela ngoku, umboniso yile indibaniselwano ephawulekayo ye-60s yasemva kwexesha yobundlobongela, ubundlobongela obugqithisileyo kunye nokulwa okukhoyo ngokuchasene nesoyikiso sabaphambukeli. UMlawuli uStraker luhlobo lweqhawe laseConradian elibambe inyani kwimishini yakhe nakubuntu ebusweni bayo yonke loo nto.
Ndiyithandile indibaniselwano yobumnyama babantu abadala kunye nokuqaqamba okuphezulu kweengubo kunye noyilo. Izihloko zokuvala ezothusayo ziyothusa, kwaye zithelekisa kakuhle nomculo omnandi weBarry Grey.

AbakwaAnderson babebetha ixesha elikhulu ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1960, kukho iiThunderbirds ezimbini ezazibonisa iifilimu kwaye ngo-1969 babonisa imiboniso bhanyabhanya yokuqala, uHambo oluya kwicala elikude leLanga (aka Doppelgänger) - apho iqela labadlali kunye nezixhaso bafudukela khona UFO.
into omawuyinxibe kwikonsathi yerock ka-2021
UDee Anderson usixelela:Ndikhumbula la manqaku elungiselela. Umama wamidale bonke abalinganiswa kunye nokubonwa kwamanqaku ebali kunye neziqendu, kunye neefashoni. Iiwigi ezimfusa zazibodwa! U-Ed Bishop noMike Billington babengabadlali abaphambili, kwaye uMama wenza abadlali abafana noDolores Mantez noPeter Gordeno.
IUFO yayingaqhelekanga ngelo xesha lokuba nabantu basetyhini nabantu abamnyama abakwizikhundla ezinamandla. Indima yomlawuli we-Moonbase, umzekelo, yathathwa ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo bobabini uLieutenant Gay Ellis (uGabrielle Drake) kunye noMark Bradley (owazalelwa eGuyan-Harry Baird), ngelixa igosa lokuqala le-SHADO kwiziqendu ezalandelayo yayingu-Colonel Virginia Lake (Wanda Ventham).
Ndibuthandile ubom bayo bamazwe ngabom ekuphoseni nasekuqaqambeni kwabafazi abomeleleyo, utsho uSamira Ahmed, nokuba bebenxibe iimpahla ezincinci ezingaqhelekanga kunye neziqhulo malunga namafu anikezela 'ngesigqubuthelo esininzi njenge-G-umtya kumdanisi wesisu'.

Kwaye ifomathi yenkqubo yenza ukuba isibini esivelisa umabonwakude siphonononge iindaba zamabali abantu abadala. Njengoko u-Andersonic ka-Richard Farrell ebeka, i-UFO yabona ii-Andersons zishiya iifomati ezisekwe kusapho uninzi lwazo kuthotho lweepopu kwaye baphonononge imiba emnyama ye-Cold War -ukuxhwilwa, ukuphamba ingqondo nokuzama ukubulala. Ngeendlela ezininzi nguCaptain Scarlet wabantu abadala kunye noxinzelelo olongeziweyo kwiingxaki zabalinganiswa babantu.
Ngaba ikho imeko apho iUFO yayisabela ngokuchasene nayo yonke imiboniso yabo ejolise ebantwaneni- ngabavelisi bayekiswa kwi-leash? Ngokuqinisekileyo, utsho uJamie Anderson. UGerry wayechithe elona xesha lilungileyo ekubeni ngumvelisi wesenzo esiphazamisayo esenza ukuboniswa koonopopi. Ngokucacileyo oko kube nefuthe elihle kwisiphumo sokugqibela-ukwenza iSupermarionation ibonakalise njenge 'inkulu' kunye nefilimu kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Kodwa ngequbuliso ukunikwa ibala lokudlala lesenzo esiphilayo emva kokufuna ixesha elide kangaka bekufanele ukuba kube yinto enomdla kodwa kuyothusa.
USylvia kunye noGerry Anderson kwi-Supermarionation yabo yempumelelo enkulu
Ukuchaza amaphephandaba / imifanekiso kaFettyUDee Anderson uthi ngoSylvia, Umama wam wayezithanda nje iimovie zaseHollywood kwaye amabhongo akhe njengentombazana encinci yayikukuba ngumdlali weqonga kunye nomlingisi eHollywood. Uthathe enye indlela njengoko wayefundile, kwaye wamkelwa kwi-LSE, impumelelo enkulu ngezo ntsuku kwintombazana evela kwimvelaphi yabasebenzi. Kodwa i-UFO yayikhethekile kuye njengoko yayimnika i-blanche yenqwelomoya ukwenza umhlaba omnandi we-sci-fi.
Uchazwe njengovulindlela wabasetyhini kumabonwakude, kwaye wayengomnye wabafazi bokuqala bokuvelisa iifilimu. Isebenzise uninzi lweetalente zakhe: ukubhala, ukudala kunye nokuphosa.
I-UFO yenza amatyala ayo nge-16 kaSeptemba 1970 kwingingqi ye-ATV (Midlands) ye-ITV, kodwa kwacaca ngokukhawuleza ukuba lo yayingengomboniso ulula wosapho, ngeziqendu ezithile ezinokukrexeza, ukusebenzisa iziyobisi, ukubulala nokoluka amalungu. Ke bekungekho ukungqinelana okanye ukufana ukuya kwiindawo zokubeka ixesha kwimimandla yonke.
I-UFO yenza amatyala ayo ngoSeptemba 1970 emva kweHlabathi leMidlalo naphambi kweendaba zangokuhlwa kwingingqi yeYorkshire yeITV. Enkosi kuGraeme Wood
Njengoko uNick Williams kaFanderson echazayo, Kufanelekile ukukhumbula ukuba, kuninzi lwethu, imiboniso ka-Anderson ikhule kunye nathi kwii-60s kunye nee-70s. Ngexesha lokufika kweUFO, uninzi lwethu lwalusezikolweni zamabanga aphakamileyo kwaye silungele amabali amnandi kodwa abalulekileyo. Sikwazile nokutya into abanye abanokuyibona njengamabali omboniso we-'sepha opera 'weengxaki zosapho lukaStraker, eziye zanceda nje inyama yoluhlu kwaye lwenza umhlaba weUFO ube yinyani.
UNick ubhekisa ngqo kwiziqendu ezibini apho iindleko zobuqu kuEd Straker zokukhusela uMhlaba zixhonywe ekhaya - sibona uxinzelelo lomsebenzi lubangela ukuba umtshato wakhe uqhawuke, kwaye ukubeka iplanethi kwindawo yokuqala kukhokelela ekufeni konyana wakhe.
Akusiyo imfihlo yokuba umtshato kaGerry noSylvia wawusonakala ngelo xesha, kodwa imigca yeplani enje ngezi yayingeyonto inomdla kuJamie Anderson njengomncinci (owazalwa ngo-1985), owafumana iUFO iyadika kwaye ingenakudlula.
Uyongeza, Yinto endiye ndayixabisa ngakumbi njengoko ndimdala. Njengomntu okhulileyo uyayibona imitsi abayenzayo ngokwempawu zomlinganiswa. Kwaye namhlanje inomdla ophindwe kabini: njengomxholo webali lomntu, kodwa ikwakhona ebonakala inomdla kum nomqolo womtshato kaTata noSylvia uqala ukusilela. Zingaphi iimpembelelo ezenziweyo kumabali afana neli likaStraker, ndiyazibuza.
UDee Anderson uthi, Yeyona nto ndiyithandayo kulo lonke uthotho olwenziwe ngabazali bam, ngaphandle kweThunderbirds. Ngokwemigangatho yanamhlanje bekungekho mnyama kakhulu, kodwa yiloo nto eyenze ukuba ibe nenguquko ngexesha layo - babephambi kwegophe. Ndicinga ukuba yile nto yenza ukuba ikhunjulwe kwaye ihlekise.
I-Square Triangle, isiqendu esothusayo apho isicwangciso sabathandi ababini (uPatrick Mower kunye no-Adrienne Corri) sokubulala umyeni womfazi sinzima ngumngeneleli wasemzini.
UNick Williams uyachaza ukuba, ngokufanayo neminye imibukiso kaAnderson, iUFO ayikhange ithethe namalungu amancinci kubaphulaphuli, kwaye oko kwasinika iinkumbulo ezomeleleyo ngokwenene. Sasibukele, sisoyika singenangqondo, njengoko isigcina-ntloko sikaPaul Foster sigcwaliswe lulwelo oluhlaza ngexesha lokuthinjwa kwakhe njengamanye amazwe, kwaye emva koko ukwenzakala emzimbeni xa wakhululwa ngoogxa bakhe be-SHADO kamva kwisiqendu.
Asizange sihlale sishiye isiphelo esonwabileyo, nokuba. Kwaye xa ezinye iziqendu zazibanjelwe usasazo lwasebusuku-njengoko umxholo wawuthathwa njengabasasazi njengabantu abadala kakhulu-uTata wayeza kundivusa ebuthongweni bam ngexesha lokuba ndiye ezantsi ndibukele inkqubo yam endiyithandayo!
Isiqendu esibuhlungu, i-Ordeal, apho uColonel Paul Foster (Michael Billington) kuye kufuneke ukuba akhutshwe kwisithuba sasemzini, kubandakanya nesigcina-ntloko esigcwele ulwelo oluhlaza. Ifoto: Anderson Ukuzonwabisa / IGerry Anderson Archive
Icala elisezantsi kubo bonke ubumnyama yayikukucwangciswa okungazenzisiyo, nangona kunjalo - into enokuthi ichaze uthotho 'lokuwa. Ndicinga ukuba abasasazi bayithengile ngesiseko sokuthenga kunye nokubonisa uthotho olufana neThunderbirds kunye neCaptain Scarlet, utshilo uJamie. Emva koko ubeka oku phambi kwabo kwaye kungenzeka ukuba bacinga ukuba 'sihlala phi esi sihogo?' Ke iphelele kuzo zonke iintlobo zeendawo ezingaqhelekanga.
Ihlazo kukuba xa imveliso isuka eBorehamwood yaya ePinewood kwizihlandlo ezisithoba zokugqibela ezingama-26 ngaphambi kokuba i-axed, i-UFO yayipheka ngerhasi-loo mabali adla ngokuba yeyona ithandwayo phakathi kwabalandeli. Kodwa lonke ilifu line-lining yesilivere, njengoko uJamie ecacisa.
Leyo yayiyindlela enobudlelwane bukaTata noLew [iBanga, oosozimali kunye nomvelisi]. U-Lew wayehlala efuna ukuqhubeka. U-Lew wayenokwenza into awayeyithatha njengesona sigqibo sorhwebo. Ngelo xesha umsebenzi omninzi wawusele wenziwe kuphuhliso lwe-UFO uthotho lwesibini- ke kwakukuhle ukuba uTata kunye neqela lakhe baphinde baphinde babuyele kwi-Space: 1999. Ngaphandle kokucinywa kweUFO, ngekhe kubekho ndawo: 1999.
Ke, la ngamaxesha onomdla kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya kaAnderson, ngeBritBox eyenza ukuba ifumaneke kwakhona. Kodwa ngaba ezinye izinto kunye nezimo zengqondo zingangqineka zingaqhelekanga kule mihla? Ngokucacileyo iqulethe enye 'yexesha layo' yesini esingaqhelekanga, endiqinisekileyo ukuba sizokugxeka, utsho uJamie. Kodwa umboniso wawusenza imitsi emide ngokweyantlukwano kwaye kufanele ukubhiyozelwa oko. Oku kwakungu-1969/70 emva kwayo yonke loo nto. Ndiqinisekile ukuba kukho abaphulaphuli abatsha phaya abalinde ukonwabela iiclassics zonqulo.
USamira Ahmed, ophumelele u-Celebrity Mastermind Champion weeNtshatsheli kunyaka ophelileyo xa isifundo sakhe sobungcali sasiyi-Space: 1999, uthetha ngeUFO'suthando olungenazintloni ngobubi bomntu womntwana… uAlec Freeman ugalela iwhiskey kwindawo yokucofa iqhosha ngelixa uMlawuli weStraker evuthela iringi yomsi wecuba. I-ogling kunye nesini kubonakala ngakumbi ngoku.
Okwangoku, ngo-2020, i-Anderson indalo iyaqhubeka nokwanda. UDee usebenza noSherrie Hewson, uDebbie Arnold kunye noHarriet Thorpe kumboniso wengxoxo ekwi-Intanethi ebizwa Iintaka ezimangalisayo , abayiqala ngo-Epreli. Sele sinezigidi ezingaphezulu kwesithathu. Ibali eliyimpumelelo ngokwalo, kwaye ndiyonwabile kakhulu.
Kwaye uJamie ubhale kwaye wenza i-First Action Bureau, uthotho lomdlalo weqonga ozisa ngenyanga ezayo njengenxalenye yeAnderverse entsha yeAnderson Entertainment kwaye iyafumaneka kuwo onke amaqonga aphambili e-podcast. Iinkwenkwezi uGenevieve Gaunt, uSacha Dhawan, uPaterson Joseph kunye noNicola Walker.
Kodwa buyela kwi-UFO, kwaye yindawo yenkuthazo malunga nokuba ukubuyela kwakhona kungasebenza na namhlanje. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, enye inzame ngo-2009 yafumana indlela ebalulekileyo ekucwangcisweni ngaphambi kokuba iplagi igqitywe ekugqibeleni-kwaye ngeyibonisa inkanyezi ye-Fringe uJoshua Jackson kunye no-Ali Larter ovela kwiiHeroes.
UDee Anderson akathandabuzi: i-UFO inakho kwaye kufuneka iphinde yenziwe, ingaziboleka kuloo nto. Kwaye uNick Williams uthi: Ndicinga ukuba kakhulu. Isiseko sisasebenza nangoku, kwaye ii studio zefilimu zanikezela ngesigqubuthelo esikhulu kumbutho oyimfihlo we-SHADO- nangona eyamkela loo nto ibuyayokunqabile ukuba bakwazi ukubamba 'umbane wokuqala kwibhotile'.
URichard Farrell ukubeka ngale ndlela: Iyibambe ngokugqibeleleyo i-zeitgeist- yiyo loo nto inguqulelo ehlaziyiweyo yabaphulaphuli banamhlanje ingaziwa, kunye neUFO ngegama kuphela. Ungathatha i-UFO ngaphandle kwee-60s kodwa awukwazi ukuthatha ii-'60s kwiUFO!
USamira Ahmed uthi, Isiqendu sokugqibela, Ukulala ixesha elide, mhlawumbi yiItemplate efanelekileyo yokuqalisa kwakhona, ukuphinda ujonge amaxhala akhoyo ngoku - iihippie, iziyobisi, uhlaselo lweebhombu zabanqolobi kunye neentlekele ezinkulu-ngetyala elingena kusonjululwa. Idutyulwe kakuhle ngezihluzi kunye nokucotha. Ininzi inombulelo kubabhali beempendulo ezifana noDavid Tomblin.
KuJamie, umbuzo wokuphinda ubuye unzima: Umhlaba utshintshe kakhulu ukusukela ngo-1969. Zininzi izinto zokusetwa kweUFO ezingazukusebenza kwilizwe langoku ngenxa yeefowuni, i-GPS, i-AI, ukuhamba emajukujukwini, i-intanethi … Kwaye ngoku isengumbono opholileyo ophakathi- ngomxube omkhulu wabalinganiswa kunye netekhnoloji. Ke, uzama ukugcina ezo ngcinga kwaye utshintshe umboniso ngokwaneleyo ukuze ulingane nomhlaba wangoku woMhlaba kunye neemvakalelo zangoku. Ngaba uphela uphulukana nentliziyo yeUFO ngokwenza oko? Ndiyakoyika.
I-UFO iyafumaneka iyonke kwiBritBox, njengoko zininzi ezinye iiklasikhi zikaGerry kunye noSylvia Anderson
