The weekend it's a real show for. B.b.c. Local radio in England in the Channel Islands b.b.c. Radio. The Bangles sleep. Aids she asked me not to 25 past the ale the b.b.c. Listening to me. Tonight it's time though to say a very happy 30th birthday to a very special thought. It was. Really . Sad. Sad. Sad. To say he's the hero next door you know he is old so that he 1st appeared on screen and was one of the. Very well thank you. Is it nice to hear the tune again. I hear it in my sleep chills you know no the reality that many times I. Know it is I said. It Before I came out just occurred to me that course obscenity is old I was at the time that I actually do the 1st cartoon if I met Sam I was the same age as he is now I know is that a that's a scary thought Oh my goodness you see they say children age so yes he they see quite considerably. You look at a lot better than I am. I don't believe that 1st 2nd now listen how did you get involved with famine Sam how did it start I was I come to Cardiff from comics background on the front got rejected by them in under 10 years to now and I think happened the the time I came back Mike Young who subsequently became the producer find myself I don't know studio in Cardiff 1st animation studio I got things far as I remember. To make his idea of super tight and I worked all that down to mation and I went back to what I was doing was creating cartoon characters he subsequently was approached by Dave Jones who was a fireman very much like he had like this he had Mike on the radio talking about super Ted and came was like I have this idea about if you ever thought working a fireman because he was very keen on fire safety it's got to be. Mike said look I was a guy upstairs can draw or can write you know alledged you shit together Dave and I went Have you been is and that's how it started that is incredible just a real life coming out with that eyes a feeling and coming together that's wonderful Yes it was but and what was great about it was the fact that he had all the back and information actually and whatever struck the scene was if I need to be liked I wrote to 60 lines if I was stuck about in a certain aspect of the and we try to make sure that every incident was actually accurate because if I was unsure about anything I just pick up the phone to Dave and you run through me and whatever you know and so it was quite when we started we had a few beers he explained his side of it which is very much that aspect I said but I come from the entertainment side if you want to get the fire safety aspect across to people let's get to this across as many people as we can by making it as entertaining as we can which is great with the soon as he said that was Ok I was away that I could just go in and write. What I did I picked his brains for. How the hierarchy worked he explained about the station office and the mass offices which of which I do I've station up to steal an Elvis quitting tonight so they only . Know the side boards. That I went away and I actually got to the car except I created a ton of party panties which in the case of pot between 20 and. I suppose 8 or 9 characteristics subsidiary distilling Norman and whenever I did that was to the c.b.c. I did you know I think it would be so popular I have seen no idea honestly we thought. I thought. 12 episodes if we were lucky but actually that you know 1st of all I'm going to get the money to make it we've got to accept it by the b.b.c. And it took a while to get the money we had to invest in it ourselves as people don't know that myself to find that we had a real. Problem with his back into the thing to get the actual thing made so we have an email maybe nobody else could while but. A cock in the 1st series of 12 episodes we thought that would be that and that wasn't too bad because. Only about 12 episodes for many many years and it was the 2nd most up to Canada to tell us the tank that time of God Bless the b.b.c. That what they do if you call the b.b.c. They'll they'll deliberately give us a 7 years call tracked what. We knew that seas would be on set not only did they do that but they they played it time and time and time again of course because there were a few channels in those days in the awareness Chris out like nowadays as you know sky and Westwood and I think only 2 of the t.v. Stations that time were showing cartoons on greeting cards so what happened was we were in this group very quickly and by the 2nd series when we went from one in 20 people known it to one in 4 children subset so by the 3rd series we actually started making about why didn't you ever dresses if a slow burn a you could say couldn't be what it was about because. You make them super Ted What else have you done. I do soup that was my idea I just worked on his own I created a cartoon series called Joshua Jones which went on immediately after by and Sam which. W b c as well it goes to show you can never tell was successful because that was it was it was kind of 34000000 viewers but because Rosen Jemma come off it was something about your mindset about a good sell its own merits it always so that sunk that you know. Literally so. That you people with just coming. From the West Midlands he came to me with a system to write and that actually got to what we thought was best to nominate it wasn't going to sound the same night so I was actually I had 2 tables of full we saw last. No ask me what is it Ok. And what are you working on at the moment Rob. To think old. Age It's about back up everything but as I strike it sounds like a pale I know is this a job for growth not a I think the raise so that subsequent to some things I'm also writing books as Oh fantastic Well it's been a joy to tell what he's a knight Thank you ever so much fish sharing some memories about famine salmon his 30 year bats and I'm I'm sorry I have an h.d.
