Many of you are probably fully aware of the current tour that Mr Mears is doing. A pictorial journey through his time spent making films with the BBC.

It seems I was ahead of the game as they were nowhere near to being able to market the tickets as they barely knew of the event themselves.  It didn't take too long to get things sorted out and I
