INTERNATIONAL GARDEN FESTIVAL IN LIVERPOOL |
|
In 1984 The
International Garden Festival of Liverpool took place down near Otterspool
Prom in Liverpool. It contained many Types of Gardens, and replicas of
a HUGE yellow Submarine of Beatles Fame, and the BluePeter Boat. The gardens
were mostly sponsored by various companies and trade exhibitions. The
BBC had a Big tent like venue, (Smaller than the recent Dome at Brighton
Pier). Inside they had various things to do and interact with, including
the Infamous BBC computers that you could play games on! Cue lots of "Aventure
Game" type problem solving etc etc. They also had a small exhibition of
various TV shows and props inside the Tent. But Outside the Tent exposed
to the weathers were two full size Dalek Props, a TARDIS and a K9. One
Dalek was exposed with Battle damage on the side and K9 stood in front
of the TARDIS. I remember searching all day to find the blooming BBC Garden
tent thing, and as I came down the hill and saw the TARDIS my 9 year old
heart jumped ith Joy and I grabbed me Mum's camera to take a couple of
snaps! I conjured up all sorts of stories just looking at the props involving
what had gone on, and had to be dragged away in the end, aww Bless.
