Script To Screen


the Ice Palace lab set

The shooting schedule, as prepared by Production Manager Ron Fry on 5th September 1974. Unusually, a guest set was built on L stage, where the standing Moonbase sets were. This was the ice planet surface. The Eagle set was relocated to the smaller H stage. The Ice Palace occupied M stage. The move to M stage on Friday 13th September generated controversy and threatened the entire production; the Ice Palace set gave off noxious fumes. It made many of the cast feel sick and several refused to work on the set. Over the weekend, health inspections were carried out, and fans brought in to suck out the fumes. Fortunately the fumes were dissipated, the dispute was resolved and production resumed on the Monday.
