Ooh Roger Palmer
Little Dot Studios co-founder Andy Taylor died of cancer last month, aged 50. He was a pioneer of the UK digital media scene, spearheading Channel 4’s shift to on-demand and became commercial director at All3Media. Here, his friend and former business partner Jason George pays tribute to him.
Andy Taylor
I first met Andy as a cherubic 19-year-old at Nottingham University in 1989. A passionate Oldham Athletic football fan, to hear the club’s ‘Ooh Roger Palmer’ chant echo round the campus corridors was to know he wasn’t too far away. Later, Ooh Roger was his Twitter handle and the code name for Little Dot Studios’ strategic plan: though Andy travelled far in his personal and professional life, he always remembered where he was from.
