Production Guide
Observations: Black Sun

When Bergman enters Main Mission, all the crew are watching the asteroid on the Big Screen. However, this shot shows a corner of the Big Screen- showing the normal "test card".

How do they view a side-ways shot of the Eagle?

Note the Airfix Saturn V model

When Bergman talks to Koenig on his commlock, the papers on his desk are readable. The form he is using states "Existing Lap Record 444/9", "by CASTELLI", "Fastest Practice Time 00001 - 180/RD", "by Harrisondumy". The other papers are faint photocopies, headed "Moonbase Alpha", "Pre-Flight Take-Off Checks", "Countdown", "Engines" etc.

Paul's guitar (and the composition) were Prentis Hancock's own. It was purchased by Prentis Hancock in 1966 in London's Charing Cross Road for a production of 'Portrait of a Queen' - a play about Victoria and Albert - in which Prentis Hancock played the ballad-monger and told their story. Later when it was repaired, Prentis found out it was hand made.

The 60-year old brandy that Bergman drinks seems to be Courvoisier Napoleon Fine Champagne (the letters "...RVOISIE..." are visible on the bottle). Thanks to Marcus Lindroos, who knows his brandy.
