Check out my interview with British World Champion swimmer and local boy done good, Mark Foster. We discuss his new autobiography 'My Double Life' out now, and reminisce on growing up in Southend in the 70s & 80s, along with my recollection of junior school swimming sports day. #chapsout #MarkFoster

Very sad to hear that musician and arranger Dee Palmer has died. Amongst many fond memories, I got to shoot, produce and direct her concert promo at the Royal Festival Hall 30 years ago featuring symphonic versions of #Queen, #PinkFloyd and #JethroTull youtu.be/mc1FlmSSA90?...

Remembering Oliver Postgate born 101 years ago today. Here are some photos taken in his barn with Bagpuss and the Clangers when we spent a magical day making a small film about him and Peter Firmin back in ’97. The film is here x youtu.be/V4PUULALQjE?...

Oliver Postgate sets up some Clangers on a piece of Moon set for our filming in his barn while Peter Firmin holds the Iron Chicken #Clangers

Oliver Postgate holds the Soup Dragon. Three Clangers also stand on a piece of Moon set to be filmed in his barn while Peter Firmin holds the Iron Chicken as if flying, like little boys playing with their toys.

Oliver Postgate leans down and talks to Bagpuss who is sat on the original set, while Peter Firmin sits beside Madeleine the rag doll as they wait for filming #Bagpuss

Definitely a much needed UK based podcast. Working my way through the 1st couple of months on YT and responding there and sharing here. The content is engaging and interesting.
