On our way to the tour we passed Salter Street... Apparentely though, the office isn't located on Salter Street any more... it has moved a block or so to bigger premises. The Electropolis studio is located off Water Street by the way... I wonder if there's a Fire Street in Halifax too? | |
|
Outside the Electropolis studio all the fans gathered... those that hadn't signed the t-shirts for the cast got the chance to do so. Here two lovely ladies (anyone know their names please send me an e-mail) display the shirt for Xenia. | |
|
Suddenly someone noticed that two familiar persons had arrived. It was Patricia Zentilli
(who played a couple of roles in season two and Bunny in season three)
and Rolf Kanies who played Priest in season three. From left to right: Mike Leon, RoxyRed, Pat, Rolf and Vigdis. |
|
|
Inside the studio was a waiting area ("Don't think of it as a holding pen" as Lex Gigeroff said) filled with Lexx props. Here Mort has discovered something interesting... but what is it? | |
|
...it's Stan's bed!!! (Complete with soiled sheets...) | |
|
My interest was piqued by a Moth cockpit instead... I wonder how you drive these things? A note here; the moths and Stan's bed look soft and... erm, meaty in the show. However, in real life they are made of hard plaster and are just painted to look squishy. | |
|
So while this looks kind of gross it's actually plastic with a gloss coat of paint. Identity6 kindly volunteered to stick her hand where no hand had gone before... | |
|
Suddenly this goofy-looking bum, dressed in shorts and a Marine Corps T-shirt and baseball cap entered, carrying a plastic bag. He said that the tour was cancelled but the next tour would be at 7pm... and that we could start lining up for tickets at 3pm... now he was selling tickets for the line to the tour tickets. After my heart had settled back in my chest I realised I was standing eye-to-eye (well, lens-to-eye) with the other writer; Lex Gigeroff! (He would be leading one of the groups during the tour later... but in all the confusement I forgot to ask him for an autograph. Bummer!) | |
|
I didn't stay long in the holding pen... err, waiting area. Instead I got in line to get my autographs and maybe chat with the stars. Unfortunately Michael McManus and Nigel Bennet were on Iceland along with Paul Donovan to shoot some additional scenes, but Xenia Seeberg, Rolf Kanies, Patricia Zentilli and of course Brian Downey was there. Here Xenia chats with a fan while Rolf and Pat are amused by some of Brians antics off camera. | |
|
Xenia Seeberg is signing my t-shirt!!! Unfortunately my flash didn't work properly so the picture is a bit dark. | |
|
Rolf, Patricia and Brian graceously posing for a picture between signings. Rolf and Pat play the first couple in season four (that is the US. President and his wife for you non-americans out there). More about that later... | |
|
Now, why am I so happy in this picture? Because I got to hug Pat and Brian of course! (Photo courtesy of Shannon Emmel ©2001) |
|
|
Mutex One also took the chance of hugging her favourite stars... Except for Xenia who was in a hurry all of the cast were very happy to pose for photographs with clinging and groping fans. They seemed to actually enjoy it... Hey Brian, aint that hug awfully close? | |
|
Just as I did, Mutex One brought her season one DVD's to be signed... Too bad Eva Habermann couldn't be there to sign them too... I heard they had tried to get her to make a cameo appearance in season four, but she was unfortunately busy with another job... | |
|
Xenia is leaving with all the presents she got from the fans. She was going on a plane to New York for a publicity photo shoot and stayed for as long as she could until she had to rush to the airport in a taxi. I was very lucky to meet her although I didn't talk to her very much, as she had only time to give autographs to about half of the fans present before she had to leave. Photo courtesy of Less. |
