John Kratovil sent me images of a Christmas card depicting the crew inside the Soho studio (from the 70s I think).
He writes:
In those days, everyone at the studio in Soho Square had a scene from
the Thief under their desk. If we were ever ‘between commercials’, we would return to working on our scene. The cardboard boxes that the scenes were stored in were designed to accommodate paper that was bigger than the usual 15 field paper. It was 15 field Panasonic.
The first scenes that I was given were the scenes of the drainpipes rattling on the outside walls of the Palace. Animated by Ken Harris...
There were two more elements that had to be added:
The flies that always followed the Thief and blobs of stuff. Sewerage, I suppose.
