Starwatch

Starring
Jon Pertwee
Back in the early 1990s, a stunning new science fiction series Starwatch premiered on British television. It was a massive success and became a global phenomenon, giving its star Jon Pertwee his greatest role as Jason Havlin …
… well perhaps in an alternative reality this is what happened. Who knows? But here, on this Earth, all that remains is, quite literally, a teaser of what might have been.
In a new documentary Reach for the Stars we delve into the story of Starwatch, how it was created and why it never reached our screens. We interview creator Chris Leach, Director Charles Marriott, Designer Chacrit Ahpornsiri, Model FX Creator Mike TUucker and Set Builder Julian Vince, plus get an objective overview from the vastly experienced Graeme Harper.
Plus, we’ve remastered the original teaser (or pilot as it was then called) and have included it in its entirety.
The Starwatch teaser was subtitled “A glimpse of things to come …”, so perhaps we could call this production “A glimpse of what might have been?”
Special Feature: Mike Tucker’s unedited SFX shots!
