Sir Lew calls

A short memo from producer Gerry Anderson to the Landaus, relaying a request for a meeting from Sir Lew Grade, chairman of ATV. They were still filming Mission of the Darians, and production manager Ron Fry had been asked to move filming so they could be released from the studio to get to ATV House (at 17 Great Cumberland Place, London, near Marble Arch).

We don't know what the conversation was about, but it was probably about efforts to sell Space: 1999 to American stations.

14th January, 1975.

Dear Martin and Barbara,

Further telephone call from Sir Lew...

He would like to meet you some time this week.

I have asked Ron Fry to see if he can re-jig the schedule one night inorder to get you both away a little earlier...if this is not possible Sir Lew will see you whatever time you arrive at A.T.V. House.

Could you please call him with your answer soonest.

Luv,

GERRY
