   There are different controllers for realistic purposes. The “Fat Controller Dynasty” started in the 1910s according to Tawdry. It wouldn’t make sense for one man to have a job for 100 years and never retire.

   It makes perfect sense. When THIS book was released there had only been 2 FC’s. But after 1984, THEN there were 3 Fattys.

   that doesn’t make sense though, theres been 3 fattys. What your saying is that theres two so far.

   He was, but He didn’t stop working until 1984. This book came out in 1983, so this “TFC” was nearly at retirement time.

   maybe it grew over time, but i thought the second controller was around during John T kennys artist era

   I know that. This isn’t Steven, this is Charles, the Second Controller. It just seems odd that in previous books, he did not have a mustache.

    I didn’t mean the opening credits, I meant the names you give each video e.g. TFAOTTTE&F etc.

    I could have but i wanted to use the full theme that was used in the cassettes for these narrations

    Great stuff Dave. However couldn’t you have made the titles shorter like just ‘Stop Thief!’ ? This would have made it easier for playlisting purposes (btw all your Morris, Rushton and Robbins stuff is collated into pubilcly available playlists on my channel).
