The relief press in our studio is a Britannia, made by B. Porter of Leeds. These were manufactured between 1837 and 1847.<br />
<br />
The printing museum at <a href="http://www.howardironworks.org/collection/ip-porter-britannia.html" target="_blank">Howard Ironworks</a> reports that only ten of these presses may have survived; they have an impressively restored Britannia, which probably dates back to its first year of production. There is another at <a href="https://www.druckkunst-museum.de/en/home.html" target="_blank">The Museum of Printing Arts in Leipzig</a>. According to <a href="https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co37956/britannia-hand-printing-press-printing-press-hand-press" target="_blank">The Science Museum</a>, which also has one of the presses in its collection, Porter had premises at Cross Court, 96 Briggate, Leeds.<br />
<br />
I often wonder how many artists over the last couple of centuries have used our press. There's a suggestion it made its way to the Slade School of Art in London and later returned to Yorkshire at Harrogate College. It was owned by printmaker, Virginia Bridge, for many years before ending up in our studio.<br />

<br />
<br />
It was recently reported that white actors would no longer voice characters of colour in the <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53201667" target="_blank"><i>Simpsons</i></a>, I was reminded about casting decisions we had to make over thirty years ago and the ten-year-old school girl who pointed us in the right direction.<br />
<br />
It had seemed like a long road, with many obstacles along the way, but in 1988, <i>Tube Mice</i>, the first series created by Sara and myself was broadcast on CITV. Possibly through young enthusiasm or arrogance, we found ourselves in a position where we thought we could make a difference. We had been brought up with <i>The Black and White Minstrel Show</i> and the stereotypical characters free with each jar of Robinsons marmalade. More positive role models were Uhura in <i>Star Trek</i> and Lieutenant Green in <i>Captain Scarlet. </i>Both these characters, however, were very much secondary to the core team of heroes, where the ultimate authority was with a white middle-aged male. In Captain Scarlet, he was even named Colonel White (and, of course, the villain was Captain Black).<br />
<br />
Visually, at Honeycomb Animation, it was second nature to include diversity within the shows we made. It was, in part, due to cutting our teeth on the BBC educational show, '<i>You and Me</i>'. While making a cut-out animated version of the picture book, <i>Nini at the Carnival</i> for the programme, author, Errol Lloyd had visited our studio in Smithfield to help the animators with the carnival dancing movements. So when it came to designing the characters for <i>Tube Mice</i>, we made sure that there were mice of colour as well as regular greyish ones.<br />
<br />
Of course, we didn't get it all right, our mouse MP was a Financial Times reading pale grey and could now be seen as the sort of old fashioned Tory that the current regime has culled. At the initial planning stages, all four of our main characters were the same light grey tone, but we had a female mouse ticket collector called Fatima in a nice shade of brown.<br />
<br />
We were wrapping up the production of a BBC show called <i>Mop and Smith </i>when we were developing <i>Tube Mice</i>. A group of schoolchildren visited our studio and we proudly showed them our mouse designs.<br />
<br />
'Is that a black mouse?' The ten-year-old girl of colour was unsure about this. 'Is she important or just the ticket collector?'<br />
<br />
We realised that we had fallen into the Uhura/Lieutenant Green trap.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the schoolgirl, changes had to be made, and we were in a privileged position to do so. Fatima was dropped to be replaced as ticket collector by Derby, a middle-aged white mouse and we would make our lead character, Bubble, a black mouse and find an actor of colour to voice her. Stand up comic, Shelia Hyde, was given the role, with Rupert Farley taking on her sidekick, Squeak. ITV got their stunt voices when we cast George Cole and Dennis Waterman as the 'bad' mice, Vernon and Toaster, but Bubble remained leader of our group of rodents.<br />
<br />
Maybe we still didn't try hard enough to build on this early series but there were valid reasons why most of the shows that Honeycomb Animation produced after <i>Tube</i> <i>Mice</i> ended up using white male comic actors as narrators. First of all, we made many pilots and not many made it through the gruelling commissioning system. Single voice, narrated shows were more cost effective, but often needed to have a star name attached to get noticed, not so much by the core children's audience, but by the commissioners, the parents and the press. We had tried but failed to secure one high profile actor of colour and failed to gain a commission for a pilot that had used the services of another.<br />
<br />
<i>Tube Mice</i> went on to be shown all over the world. That ten-year-old schoolgirl, with her disapproving look, will now be in her forties now, and she may never have realised the small part she played in its success.<br />

First in my Regent Canal series. This linocut was based on drawings made while I was at St Martin's School of Art in the mid seventies. The Aerated Bread Company building was demolished in the early 80s to make way for Camdenc Town's Sainsburys store.<br />
<br />
The building below is from my Lost Cambridge series. It's the former J Sainsbury. Unlike many of the prints in the series, the building still stands, it is now a Sushi Restaurant. The Tardis-lite police-post, however, dematerialized in the eighties.<br />

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Red-Riding-Hoods-Phone-Simon-ebook/dp/B018B8FRS2/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8">Red Riding Hood's Phone: Hacked</a> is based on the continuing work of Ben T Copper.<br />
<br />
After retiring from the force on health grounds, Ben was a freelance writer for The Daily Scum, practising the dark art of hacking.<br />
<br />
A four-year sabbatical at Ford Open Prison has not damped his enthusiasm for his work. He now takes advantage in a little known legal loophole that states that the hacking of fictional characters is not a criminal act.<br />
<br />
Ben lives in Slough with no wife, no children and no cat.<br />

A single fact from scientific theory can legitimize the far-fetched. Take the nature of time. We move forward in time at twenty-four hours a day and sixty minutes an hour. ‘We are all time travellers… We are all stuck on the same train, and for practical purposes, it never speeds up, slows down, or goes backwards’ (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"><i>Time Travel in Theory and Practice, </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;">Love (2013) from</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"><i>The Time Traveller’s Almanac</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;">.) Or does it? Absolute time is a theory of the past; gravity slows down time’s progress and travelling at high-speed triggers the contrary. </span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Time for
the Stars</i> illustrates a plausible method of time
travel. The physical movement through time is theoretically possible –
travelling at high speed or being able to suspend animation – but only in one
direction: forward. Heinlein’s starting point is to understand the nature of
the speed of light. Time is relative: we literally look into the past. What we
perceive in front of us actually happened nanoseconds before the light it
reflects hits our retinas. ‘We see the Moon as it was 1.3 seconds ago, the Sun
as it was eight minutes ago’ says Love in<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
Time Travel in Theory and Practice</i>. We view stars in the night sky in the
state they were in decades, centuries or billions of years ago; some of them
are already dead but the evidence of their demise may not reach us for millions
of years. The Twins Paradox is the theory that by travelling at close to the
speed of light, a space pilot could spend 10 years on a return trip into deep
space, while his twin would have spent 50 years waiting for him on Earth. </div>

I<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;">n A Brief History of Time (1988), </span>Stephen<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"> </span>Hawking states that the Twins Paradox is only a paradox if the concept of
absolute time is accepted. ‘In the (Einstein’s) theory of relativity there is
no unique absolute time,’ says Hawking Heinlein uses this theory quite literally by sending Tom, a teenage boy on a
three-year mission into deep space. When he returns, his twin brother, Pat, is
ninety years old. In a twist to the accepted scientific theory, Heinlien gives
his twins the ability to communicate through telepathy in real time as
experienced by each twin. A degree of alchemy is added to real theory to enable
the twins to communicate. Heinlein gives this dialogue to one of his characters.
‘Have we given you the impression that telepathy is physical? … we do know that
telepathy is faster than light because we measured it.’ Through this device,
which Heinlien describes as ‘slippage’, we experience over seventy years of the
life of Earth bound Pat and only three years for space traveller Tom. Without
this telepathic link, there would be no communication possible between the ship
and Earth. Of course Heinlien could have told a story from the point of view of
both twins in isolation, but using the telepathic device he was able to use a
single narrator’s voice.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times";">‘You are invited to a book launch,’ said the message
on Facebook. I was looking forward to canapés and prosecco in some swanky
Bloomsbury office, when the penny dropped; this was an online party with the
publisher and author on hand for live chat. Unperturbed, I put on a clean
sweatshirt, opened a can of cider, opened a pack of falafels and jar of olives and logged on.</span><br />

Multiverse of Max Tovey</span></i><span style="font-family: "times";"> is Alastair

<span style="font-family: "times";">The novel was picked up by European Geeks, a new
entrant to publishing. It’s part of a trend that gives authors something
between traditional publishing and going solo with crowd funding and self-publishing.
US based, it has so far signed authors from the States and the UK. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘The name, European Geeks, was first used for my
blog,’ says founder, Elisha Neubauer, ‘I’m English, my husband’s German and we
live on a farm in Florida. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">We focus on Science Fiction and Fantasy of

In <a href="http://simons-head.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/through-portal-birth-of-time-travel.html">PART 1</a>, I looked at how the idea of time travel was used in literature before H G Wells wrote The Time Machine. Here I take a closer look at Well's novella. </div>

‘The concept of a time machine had been
brilliantly conceived by Wells, a concept never before used and now an entire
category within science fiction’<span style="color: red;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Pictorial History of Science Fiction,</i> Kyle
(1976). Wells brings the modern age of the inventor with that of time-travel in
pre 20<sup>th</sup> century literature; very much one of premonition or
cognitive time-travel, often occurring as dreaming or as ghost stories where
long dead loved ones or foes return to haunt. ‘The dream was the common
time-travel method in literature before H G Wells introduced a mode of
transport … after which devices gradually replaced dreaming’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">BFI Film Classics: Back to the Future,</i> Shail
and Stoate (2010).<span style="color: red;"> </span>In <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Time Machine</i>, Wells sends his time-traveller thousands of years
forward to a dystopian age and then millions of years into Earth’s future to a
period where man is extinct. The end of humanity is the great fear of mankind
and Wells shows this through analogy. ‘Because the traveller could not survive
the actual end of the world, Wells gives us a symbolic eclipse (of the sun)’<span style="color: red;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">H. G. Wells:
Another Kind of Life,</i> Sherborne (2010). The darkness symbolizes the end of
life. Wells tells the story in the first person, but not directly through the
time traveller himself. It is a witness to a talk to fellow scientists by the
time traveller who reproduces his words. When the traveller sets off for a
second journey, he does not return and so Well’s Victorian narrator cannot
document this final journey.<o:p></o:p><br />

Good to see the 'forgotten era' of Dan Dare will be back in print next month in <a href="http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2015/upcoming-dan-dare-the-2000-ad-years/">'Dan Dare: The 2000 AD Years Vol 1'.</a> The first issue of 2000 AD came out when I was a humble art student and it became cult reading in the common room. Dan Dare had become a hero for the seventies, a more violent testosterone driven man than the old school Brit of the original Eagle comic.<br />
<br />
Then came the return of dare's arch enemy,The Mekon, and a stunning cover by the late Mike Western. A few years later, I worked with Mike's son Pete Western, who got his dad to draw me my very own Mekon (see above).<br />
<br />
Although the later Dan Dare 2000 AD strips by Dave Gibbons have been reprinted, this new graphic novel from 2000 AD will feature the first two stories for the first time since the seventies.<br />

stories such as the Edgar Rice Burroughs <i>Martian Chronicles. </i>From
Lewis Carroll’s <i>Alice Through the Looking Glass </i>to Philip Pullman’s
<i>His Dark Materials </i>trilogy, the successful children’s and young adult
fantasy fiction novel often focuses on contemporary protagonist with access to
another world. Often theses are parallel or alternative dimensions, such as
Narnia in C S Lewis’s <i>The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe, </i>or time
travel as with Philippa Pearce’s <i>Tom’s Midnight Garden</i>. Recent books
such as <i>The Multiverse of Max Tovey</i> can be a blend of both genres;
Alistair Swinnerton takes a contemporary character into the past, into a
parallel dimension where the Roman Empire still rules and to the underworld of
the Awin of Welsh legend. It's the portal through time I want to look at
here, and how the concept has evolved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a name='more'></a>It’s not just YA fiction that uses time travel.
Authors such as Daphne du Maurier, Ben Elton, Audrey Niffenegger and even
Virginia Woolf have all written time bending novels.<br />

travel? This depends on the balance of fantasy against science in the novel. ‘…
it was OK (for early science fiction) to simply make up your own rules for time
travel. After all, who could say you were wrong?’ says Paul J Nahin in <i>Time
Travel: A Writer’s Guide to the Real Science of Plausible Time Travel</i>. The
rules start out being fluid, but as science evolves, so does science fiction –
a genre that can be out of date within a few years of publication. Many writers
look to popular science for inspiration, it is evident that the theories of
Newton, Einstein and Hawking have informed the science fiction writer as the
genre has matured. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The back cover of 2009 paperback edition describes the book as, ‘the first
novel about time travel and its impact on the science fiction genre is
unparalleled.’ This is not strictly true as the concept of time, through the
foretelling of events, has been part of storytelling for as long as there have
been stories to tell; from myths, legend and religious text to the weird
sisters from <i>Macbeth</i>, prophecy has been an important ingredient of
narrative. Physical time travel into a future was explained through decades or
centuries of sleep: as in fairy tales such as <i>The Sleeping Beauty</i>.
Dickens employs a ghost from the past, the present and the future in his 1843
novella, <i>A Christmas Carol</i>, but, according to Johnson’s introduction to <i>The
Time Traveller’s Almanac</i> (2013), the first true time travel story was <i>The
Clock that went Backwards</i> by Edward Page Mitchell, 1881. However, <i>The
Time Machine’s</i> impact on science fiction writing is immense, going on
to inspire many twentieth century writers, including the creators of <i>Doctor
Who. </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

In the week that the new trailer for Doctor Who included Peter Capaldi in cool shades, here is the original cool Doctor, Jon Pertwee at a school summer fate in Cambridge in 1970. </div>

Fresh from his first season as the time lord, his mission was to raise money to buy a colour TV for Gilbert Road Primary School, which he did by signing autographs at "a tanner a time". A tanner, for those too young to understand our pre-decimal currency, was sixpence; there were twelve pennies in a shilling, which made it worth half a shilling. There were twenty shilling to the pound, which meant Jon Pertwee had to sign forty autographs to raise a single pound. With colour TVs costing around £300 in 1970, Pertwee's fund raising efforts must have seemed as impossible as asking current viewers of the show to accept that the moon is not cheese but a giant egg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I didn't treasure my tanner's worth of Pertwee's handwriting, which got lost in the vortex soon after, but the photo, taken on my instant Polaroid camera, recently came out of the other end of a wormhole when it was found in one of my mother's boxes of old photographs.</div>

Yesterday was the coldest of the autumn so far, and I was tempted to dig out my twenty-four-year-old coat. I had second thoughts; it's still not cold enough for such drastic action.<br />
<br />
The old coat, once lost to animation pioneer, John Halas, in a mix up at the South Bank, <a href="http://simons-head.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/mrs-thatcher-my-coats-part-in-her.html">(FULL STORY)</a> can now be seen as part of the Discerning Eye Exhibition at The Mall Galleries.<br />
<br />
The paintings by Ashley Hanson will be on show from 13-23 November 2014.<br />
<br />
Further details on how the coat came to be included in Ashley's series, The City of Glass, can be found here.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Phil Ford, executive producer and co-creator of Wizards vs Aliens was speaking at last week's Children's Media Conference in a session entitled, 'Transmedia - Where Do I Start? The writer was intrigued by a word he had not heard before. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Mind Candy's <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">COO, Divinia Knowles, explained that Moshi Monsters would always be bigger than just the digital side, describing the property as ‘Toy-etic.’</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">‘Toy-etic, that’s a new word for me,’ said wordsmith, Phil Ford, who has also written for Doctor Who and Captain Scarlet. The panel then considered if merchandising was part of transmedia – Phil stating that the great thing about toys is that children can make up their own stories with them.</span></div>
The full story on Transmedia and why Phil Ford belives the Doctor Who online games are cannon can be found on the <a href="http://www.thechildrensmediaconference.com/blog/2014/07/04/transmedia-start-report/">CMC Blog</a>Simon Borhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18040850120761309725noreply@blogger.com0
