Snowman Intro… Where is Briggs?
Saturday, 3. January 2009 - 13:46
Been thinking lots about the Snowman (again) this year… Anyone know where one can find the original transmission with the Briggs introduction?
After the initial showing on Channel 4, and in its initial showings on U.S. television, an alternative introduction was sometimes used. Instead of Raymond Briggs describing how much it had snowed the winter he made The Snowman, while walking through the field that morphed into the animation of the same landscape,David Bowie was shown reciting the same speech after walking into the attic of ‘his’ childhood home and discovering a scarf in a drawer..(via wikipedia)
