Great radio documentary on 2001 by the BBC. Non-UK listeners will probably need to use a desktop browser. The mobile version requires an app which may be unavailable in your country.

Francine journeys through time and space to uncover the mysteries of this 1968 classic. Searching for the mind of H.A.L. and lost alien worlds among the delights of the Stanley Kubrick Archive at London’s University of the Arts. Joining Francine on her voyage of discovery are 2001 chronicler Piers Bizony, former urbane spaceman Keir Dullea and the woman who built the moon! Other voices include production designer Harry Lange, make-up genius Stuart Freeborn, editor Ray Lovejoy, all now so much stardust, as well as those of lead ape ‘Moonwatcher’ (Dan Richter) & Stargate deviser Douglas Trumbull.

The is a deep dive into the world of Kubrick’s 2001. A world that, as it happens, is also filled with wonderful typography. It’s remarkable how a film released in 1968 still manages to look modern.

The title text by the way is Gill Sans but with the 00s replaced by OOs.
