SAFFRON

Starring
Sophie Aldred
“Saffron Slade exists in black and white. She’s young, intelligent, inquisitive and enjoys encounters with the unusual, the unexpected and the fantastic! Saffron lives in a cartoon town as the world around her animates in colour.”
So reads the publicity sheet for this innovative film series created in the early 1990s by animator Paul Thomas.
Encouraged by the promise of a broadcast television screening, Paul employed Doctor Who star Sophie Aldred to play the part of Saffron and, during a hectic two day studio shoot, over a thousand photos were taken of Sophie which were then used to help create six five minute episodes.
But what happened next? Why was the series never shown? These questions and many more are answered in Saffron, a brand new documentary featuring SOPHIE and PAUL. Combined with all six digitally remastered episodes of Saffron, this is a must buy for all fans of animation!
Bonus Feature! The original series trailer plus Saffron Stories … the stories behind the stories!
