Thanks to Ima in the forum for spotting gorgeous photos of JJ at last night's premier here.There is a brief review on this blog for Shadows On The Wall.

Telstar **** The story of music pioneer Joe Meek is told in period style, as a madcap 1960s comedy-drama tracing his outrageous rollercoaster career as the guy who produced the first British record to go No 1 in America. The film, directed by actor Nick Moran, had so much energy that it's almost exhausting, but it also keeps us thoroughly entertained with the antics of Joe and his merry band of musicians. And when it all goes horribly wrong, Joe's descent into paranoia is truly terrifying.

Telstar has been announced as showing at the upcoming BFI London Film Festival. It will show on two dates during the festival.

There are two photos of JJ shown on the BFI website.

Thanks to TS who found a cast and crew photograph from Telstar on Oliver Reuben Charles Whitehouse Online, who worked as a runner on the film. Thanks to that site for sharing it online.

"I recently worked for a few weeks as a runner on the film "Telstar" in London. I learned a huge amount from this experience about the various job roles (some of which I never knew existed!) I would leap at the chance of doing something like this again. The film features Kevin Spacey and is directed by Nick Moran."

Huge thanks to 6point7 and Cassangel from the forum, who managed to record a short clip on the making of Telstar, from the Premier Close Up programme shown on Sky 3 last weekend.  

There are very brief views of JJ and interviews with the director and other cast members. I have uploaded the clip to the galleries.

Huge thank you to Robbie Duke, who has given permission to share the lovely photograph on this website, of himself with JJ, taken on the set of Telstar. Robbie was the original Patrick Pink, and had a small acting role in the film. Read more on his My Space page here.  read more »
