Danger Mouse Hand drawn master set of storyboards for "The Hickory Dickory Dock Dilemma"

See, Peter J. (for Brian Cosgrove)

Verlag: Cosgrove Hall Films Circa 1983, 1983

A master set of story boards for the complete "Series Six. Film Twelve" episode of Danger Mouse, believed to have been created by Peter J. See in July 1983 for approval by Brian Cosgrove. It comprises 22 sheets of A4 paper, the panels drawn in pencil, with descriptive captions beneath in black ink, which also contain some snippets of dialogue and narration. There are later corrections and additions in red ink, possibly made by Cosgrove himself, and a few panels and captions appear to have been so entirely revised as to necessitate small fresh pieces of paper being pasted on top. The sheets are drawn on one side only, each sheet numbered in pencil to the top right-hand corner. The condition is generally good, the pages are a little toned, grubby and creased, with a few small nicks to page edges, page 19 has a small chunk torn from the top right-hand corner causing no loss to either text or drawing, and the sheets are held together by a large paperclip which looks to have been in position since 1983 to judge by the indent marks it has caused to the paper. The finished episode was broadcast in February 1985, ultimately becoming the eighth in that Series rather than the twelfth indicated on the story board. Copies would have been taken from these master sheets and used during production. The episode involves time travel and the panel containing the future descendent of Penfold, now seemingly ruler of the world, is a real treat to behold, with its accompanying caption reading: "Cut to DM's point of view a sleek futuristic vehicle glides past track in on Dlofnep the Magnificent seated on raised dais. He is a Penfold look-a-like.". A fascinating insight into the creation of an episode of one of the best loved cartoons of the 1980s. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7249
