Very sad to hear that Oliver Postgate died this morning. His wonderfully warm yet surreal programmes were very much part of my childhood.

My friend Tim Wardle has his first feature documentary on Channel Four tomorrow evening (7.35pm) — it’s been getting great reviews so do watch if you get a chance.

My friend Tim is making a documentary about Britain’s most average person which has been picked up by the papers this week. Now I’m sure all the readers of this blog are well above average, but if you think you know where he should be looking do drop the team a line.
