As some of you may already know I do another blog called; Say: Hello Spaceman which can be found here: http://sayhellospaceman.blogspot.co.uk/ ...for those of you that like that kind of thing.
I've obviously posted this image of the 1970's TV Times, featuring The Adventures of Don Quick, over there and have written a little about the show and that space helmet's history. However now we are in Strange England's territory and I can explore it a little further and in a broader context.
I discovered The Adventures of Don Quick a year or two back and have only watched a single episode; episode 1, which is all that now remains of the 6 part series. I absolutely loved it and the concept behind the series as a whole. However information is scarce and the show is all but forgotten.
It's my intention therefor to cover it again, over here, and in more detail. This is partly because I believe it deserves it and partly for the same reason that people studying drawing look at negative space. You see this isn't simply a nostalgia based blog looking at all those shows and books that make us feel warm and fuzzy. Sometimes the cultural amnesia is just as fascinating.
