The Royal Mail have issued some stamps commemorating the 1970s BBC series Porridge. Kate Beckinsale holds up an example of one with her dad who played Godber.

An era long gone now but I was a pretty avid reader of comics as a kid. Dandy, Beano, Beezer, Cor, Topper, Whizzer and Chips, Buster and many more. I don't think I had a stand out favourite, maybe Beezer but you couldn't always get it.

My first job. A long time ago I worked in a photographic studio printing and processing mainly black and white images as this medium was still in widespread use back then.

Whenever you see images like this or scenes portrayed in films the darkroom always appears brighter than would be experienced for real. The other thing is that for this particular process ; printing a black and white photograph, red isn't the only colour safelight that can be used, in fact I rarely used red. I would use green occasionally but my main choice was a sodium yellow which gave off a more neutral dull yellow light.
