No, not that (I've got an RCX). I meant the odd black shape that appears as
a still on different coloured backgrounds between phases of the POV
sequences. What on earth is it?

It's the one that's chucked up in the air at the end of this sequence that
struck me as odd. Although the tilting bearings came in in 1979 with the
first classic Space sets, they didn't have the 2x2 tops on. The first ones
of those I saw were in the Star Wars sets in 1999, though they may have come
in a little earlier. The red technic 24 tooth gear is a no-no too, and I
don't think the black Space 2x1 plate with handles/probes/cannons/whatever
came in until a few years later - though they might have sneaked into late
1980 sets. The yellow 2x2 cone (I think that's what it is - I only
downloaded the small version of the film. If it's a yellow worm gear, ooooh
dear) is from much later, when these space shaped pieces moved into town
sets, and I'm not too sure about the white technic beam either. So, you can
safely sack your technical adviser :)
I can't knock the 'dawn' episode - I'm far too jealous of the variety of
green, grey and tan bricks and slopes on show.
Look, he said to correct him if he was wrong, okay?
Still loved the film...
Jason.
