In this episode of Who Cave Conversations we chat with creator of the animated series SAFFRON, Paul Thomas that was supposed to air on British television in the 90’s but through a set of circumstances it was not to be. However with the assistance of REELTIME Pictures and Keith Barnfather he was able to help bring it to life and to DVD for us to see with a Premiere launch event at Everyman Theatre. Fast forward to 2025 and I wished to share with Paul the story and evolution of SAFFRON with the help of actor Sophie Aldred, (Doctor Who, Corners, Big Finish) and musician/artist and author Alex Storer who kindly gives me permission to use his work on my productions.Check out the below linksFor Sophie Aldred:You can visit her website at: https://sophiealdred.com/Ace Jacket THE OUTSIDE STORY available to preorder: https://auk.direct/product/ace-jacket-the-outside-story/Ace Jacket THE INSIDE STORY while stocks last at the Who Shop: https://www.thewhoshop.com/ace-jacket-the-inside-storyFor the work of Paul Thomas:A link to the 3 EP's so far recorded on Bandcamp. https://zincharlequin1.bandcamp.com/SAFFRON Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/people/Saffron-Cosmic/61560912118076/Another SAFFRON video track is on YouTube.
