It was satisfying to tell Kevin Connor that and I was thrilled that he liked the piece. Felt like a circle completing!
The Land That Time Forgot was a formative cinema trip for me at the age of six - and a movie I still adore. So it was a treat to track down director Kevin Connor for a chat about dinosaurs and Doug McClure, all in the latest @sfxmagazine.bsky.social⦠issue 400, no less!

Wow, that's good...
Something about that blue reminds me of the filter they would use to try and disguise day-for-night shooting in old films and TV. I always loved that slightly unearthly quality!
Sometimes I try and persuade myself itβs actually quite liberatingβ¦
I remember chancing across a battered copy of this while staying at a cottage in Dorset and experiencing a little shudder at the cover! It must have inspired Burton for Edward Scissorhands.
Just checked and it was Β£15, so not far offβ¦
Ha, I was such a Bowie nut the price didnβt even factor in for me! Looking back it seems exceptional valueβ¦ Trying to remember what I paid to see him on the Glass Spider tour. Maybe Β£12?
The concert ended with Moonage Daydream. Bowie broke out his old βSpace Hopperβ mime and Ziggy was resurrected in front of us. I remember him grinning as he did this; he was clearly having fun.
I remember the shadow he cast on the wall, which seemed to distil the very essence of Bowie. I was convinced it was going to break free, like Peter Panβs.
30 years ago tonight, Bowie in Cardiff - the greatest gig of my life. Front row, pressed against the security barrier, close enough to see his mismatched eyes.
It's exceptionally good. I treated myself to a story a day and every one's a gem. Such a beautiful package of a book, too.
Fabulous story.

As a '70s kid The New Avengers was my gateway into the world of Steed & Co. Wonderful to see the effort that's gone into these stunning new restorations - a vivid new life for the series.
