I’m on ‘Who do you think you are?’ tonight at 9pm on BBC 1… showing David Walliams how to play the barrel organ!
Here are couple of Christmas video treats for you - the new peepshow films! I hope that together they will make fun viewing for you over the Christmas holidays, amongst re-runs of White Christmas, It’s A Wonderful Life and Morecambe & Wise specials. ![]()

Here is the link to the audience-view of the peepshow, as performed by Spike and I: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxYqwJpBrk0 (roughly 20 minutes).![]()
Here is the link to our TED-style talk about the creation of the piece (many of you feature in it!): youtu.be/4AApmbBYsrs (roughly 12 minutes).![]()

These short films are the the product of working on the AHRC-funded programme 'Modern Visuality and Nineteenth-Century Performance', but Covid restrictions meant that we could not perform them live, so we made these films instead. ![]()

This Summer, we selected seven lucky young performing trainees from a diverse background and created The Sunshine Follies! Alongside a host of veteran outdoor/seaside performers, they were trained in the art of barking, as well various other essential skills. You may have even seen them on the Teignmouth seafront, at the RAMM amphitheatre or on Exeter Quayside! ![]()
