This is from Lindsay. Hi, Dave and Joe. Hope you're well. Really looking forward to the TV show next year. You talked in the recent episode about it being behind the scenes and I love the letters to sitcoms. Anyway, the reason I wanted to email, I recently wrote a book for my granddad, who is 88.

He was a scenic painter through the 1950s to 1980s and worked on so much film and TV, including a favourite of mine, Alvida Saint-Pete.

Chapter 3: What heartfelt message does a retiring builder share?

186.888 - 201.927 David

It's called Behind the Scenes, A Scenic Painter's Journey Through British Film and TV. That's good. Coincidentally, in the foreword, I call it a love letter to my granddad and all the people behind the scenes, and I've attached a picture of the front cover.

201.948 - 214.684 David

It's not a published book, as it would be a copyright nightmare because of referring to the shows instead of just sentimental keepsake for him. As I know you love behind the scenes, I'd be happy to send a version if you're interested.

0

215.778 - 220.965 Joe

Yeah. Sorry. Is it the paint, you know, like in porridge where they painted? I think so.
