Concept and creative process
Titles for a sitcom about space travel, starring Mollie Sugden. After being launched into space, housewife Mrs Noah and her companions on board the Britannia Seven space shuttle aim to get back to earth. The titles consisted of a model shoot of the spacecraft combined in a film optical with NASA footage of the Earth from space and the superimposed titles. The comedy series only ran to six episodes and then was dropped, regarded by the BBC Guide to Comedy as “one of the worst British sitcoms ever made”! The programme that followed the titles began with a the title sequence for 'Far and Wide' which was a spoof of the daily BBC News and Current Affairs show 'Nationwide'.
