Comment by Dirk Maggs
Bill Hootkins’ delivery of 'Faster Than a Speeding Bullet...' was matchless, done in one take for the docudrama celebrating Superman's 50th Birthday.
We later tried to re-record him doing ‘Faster Than a Speeding Bullet’ for ‘Superman - Doomsday & Beyond’ but he couldn’t quite get that edge again.
So, we always used that first take!
The opening string figure was a happy accident arrived at by playing with one of the BBC’s first sampling keyboards, stored at our audience studio, The Paris in London.
The main theme was a KPM music library track by Richard Harvey that just fitted perfectly.
