It took 45 days to film in the television studios in Sydney and Melbourne during the last three months of 1977 at a cost of about $150,000.〔〔 Regarded as a top-rating children's television program with prospects of sales internationally, its screening was delayed for almost two years because of a union dispute over the use of new technology and demand for higher pay by ABC technicians. Although production was completed in January, 1978 — the tapes were not edited because the union had imposed black bans on the installation of new editing equipment. According to an ABC spokesman at the time, Graham Reynolds "The sad part is that if the series could have been screened when it was scheduled, it could have cashed in on the box-office appeal of such films as ''Star Wars'' and ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind''."〔 The first episode was eventually screened on 15 September 1981.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Nargun and the Stars (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
