FF SHOWS (Page 2 of 7)
THE INDIA RUBBER ZOOM LENS (1993 -1994)
The Famous Brittonioni Brothers job in this show was to provide a Zoom Lens powerful enough to project theselves into Eternity. Among the vital increments on the lens mount was not only the Moebius Loop for Infinity but, a notch further up, the ancient Hindustani symbol for Eternity
 
INVASION OF THE BLOOPIES (1991 - 1992)
"What's a Bloopy, Grampa?" asked the little girl to whom this unnerving tale was told by her dissolute and demented Grandfather amid his frequent visits to the drinks cabinet. The Bloopies were pink. They went about in herds and they automatically formed queues behind anyone they found standing still. They lacked all bones, especially spinal bones, and where they once had the power to decide, they had willingly allowed themselves to be reduced to flaccid matter by the ADMEN.
A SERIOUS LEAK (1989-1990)
High on the rooftops of Government buildings, strange scientific advances are rumoured to be in progress. Secret doorways have been built into cine-screens showing films of vast unspoilt wilderness. The Government is filling these locations up with rubbish and the films are removed, canned and stored in newly set up 'Garbage Archives'. The problem of Waste Disposal has been solved for Mankind.
WORK ETHIC (1988)
The British suffer from it so badly it was a hard theme to resist. Also Global Commerce with its vital Trade in Piggy Slippers and Portable Burmese Camping Shower Units. The simple plot concerns rivalry for the Firm's coveted Merit Award in Load Bay 3. It featured classic FF Gadgetry ..... conveyor belts, a Forklift and Big Dave, the simple, 8 foot nephew.
A WASTE OF TIME (1987)
The cult media-man arrives to solve the puzzling question of Time in a set built of staircases, hatches and several hundred bottles. Ascending one staircase the 'same' man re-emerges through a hatch in the floor. As he exits to the right, so he re-enters on the left. These and other Escher-like conundrums beset the Electrician hero sent here on a re-wire. In amongst it all is an outsize Hourglass, firmly placing it at the Waist of Time.
HYPOCHONDRIA (1987)
More nightmare Horror comedy. Apart from professional hypochondriac Mr. Pillow, and unscrupulous Dr. Smallman, this show was also peopled by star-patient life-size puppet Anthony, the sobbing mechanical Miss Moody, a shrunken Bishop, a Nosegun and a midget Russian eager to steal Dr. Smallman's Shrinking Disease as a Soviet discovery. All this in mock conventional false-perspective box-set with (hospital) curtains.
