Peter Richardson

I suppose it's worth saying that this was shot in Pinewood Studios.

So I was listening to a little interview clip with Peter Richardson.

So Peter Richardson from the comic strip presents directed this video.

And, you know, obviously, Kate, huge fan of British comedians and she has so many, many friends, has worked with so many of them in all of her work.

She stars with Peter Richardson in the comic strip film Les Dogs that happened the following year.

and uh peter was saying that um oh he also shows up in the lines across the car so we'll talk about that too but uh he was saying that she wanted to film this give it a real old school filmic feel so it must have been quite an expensive video to make because he mentions 15 guys up on gantries using these um carbon arc lights they're kind of very old school movie lighting and kind of you know having to hold them up and stuff on these platforms and basically it gave it this kind of diffused old world kind of filmic look that she really wanted to have So, you know, quite a lot went into the making of this film.

Unfortunately, it's one of the ones that we don't have many behind the scenes or anything like that.

We really don't have much in the way of stills from it.

They were in the movie as well too.

Written by Pete Richardson who was part of the comic strip team on Channel 4 in the UK and they also produced Bad News who famously appeared on Donington 1986.

And before that, Matthew, Black Label Society.

That's right.

That was amazing, wasn't it? Could be like that.

Yeah, Peter Richardson and...

Yeah.

No, it wasn't.

Who was it?

Yeah, Stella Street was Peter Richardson from the comic strip, yeah.

Who was in it?

It was Peter and Phil Cornwell.

'Cause he was very important.

I was working with Peter Richardson, who is the Comic Strip guy.

Yeah.

We were a double act for years, and that's where Neil comes from, our show.

We had n- and you couldn't look him up on Google because it didn't exist.

Mm.

So it w- it took us a couple of weeks, me and Peter Richardson, this was, to think, "Who was that guy?" Who, I had to drop him off in my car.

He said, "Oh, just take me back to the hotel," 'cause the party was a bit of a washout.
