YouTube discovery
I had no idea it was there, but someone has posted the BBC4 documentary I presented, Creating Life On Mars, on YouTube. I loved making this, as I got to drive a Fort Cortina into shot (the squealing tyre shots were done by an expert, and the owner of the car, who I seem to recall was called Wayne), and park it outside a Bristol pub, while the traffic was held up by a production assistant in a high-vis tabard. By the way, my pint at the pub table was a prop. I drank water. And the smoke was, yes, made by a smoke machine. This was a year before the smoke machine ban.

It was a great little documentary - I don't know about anyone else, but I love hearing anybody talking with enthusiasm about their craft, all the more so when it's TV, film or radio.
Thanks for posting this up, as it's been fun to watch again.
Missed it the first time around so it was good to catch up.
Interesting the car they gave you to drive was a different one (different registration number)...
I missed it too, great to see it. I forget you can search for other stuff as well as music on youtube.
I love the writer's submissive expression when someone talks over him a couple of minutes in.
