Started #ObjectZ a couple of nights ago. Binged the final 4 episodes tonight. Very watchable and surprisingly pacy for 60s TV. Had never heard of it until I saw posts about the BFI release. Lots to enjoy and lots of familiar faces to spot. Highly recommended.
I'll be honest, as someone who tells everyone he knows a lot of about British television, this was a new one for me. I had not heard of OBJECT Z before but seeing the BFI were releasing this on Blu-ray restored. Now to watch it! #BFI #Bluray #ObjectZ #Rediffusion #BritishTelevision
The cover of the BFI BluRay release of the 1965 Associated Redifussion production ‘Object Z’.
Close up inside the inner workings of a 1965 TV camera.
The hatch is replaced over the workings. The camera is identified by a plate reading U.K.T/V. This plate is likely to cover the Associated Redifussion plate that it would usually sport.
The camera is revealed in full glory, just before being reversed out of shot. In the background, on the right, a very young Trevor Bannister from Are You Being Served can be seen.
I hope you’ve all seen the #CameraPorn during the first ep of Object Z? Starts with a CU of the inside, dollys back as the hatch is replaced then you get a lovely reveal of the full thing. Beautiful stuff. #ObjectZ #Ffantaface

PS every time I saw this all I could hear was Jon Pertwee’s voice saying ‘but don’t you see Jo/Brigadier (delete according to taste), that’s Scottish for Master’ #ObjectZ
Object Z on BluRay, which arrived this morning.
Going in - no idea what this is about, but people I know/like/both were involved in this restored release, and that’s good enough for me #ObjectZ
