'Parallel 9' titles 1992 – Cinematography by John Henshall

'Parallel 9' was a British Saturday morning children's television entertainment show on BBC1 from 1992. The titles were shot on 35mm film by Cinematographer John Henshall at Pinewood Studios with Director Graham C Williams and Camera Operator Gerry Anstiss ('Alien' etc). Roddy Maude-Roxby played the part of Mercator, an old alien 'Time Baron' with enormous eyebrows. He was banished to 'Parallel 9' after summoning an earth girl named Calendular as a result of his thirst for knowledge - a criminal offence on his home planet 'Zarb'. John Henshall only shot these opening titles – none of the weekly shows.
