The News at Bedtime:

 

Dec 2009

I've, designed, directed and animated a sketch, (which you can watch here and/or here.), to accompany Nick Newman and Ian Hislop's Radio Four series The News at Bedtime (beginning Christmas eve).

 

Martin Davey painted all the wonderful backgrounds and Chris Forrester did all the brilliant compositing.

The sketches are produced by Simon Nicholls. They star Jack Dee, Peter Capaldi and Vicki Pepperdine.

 


Here's a still from the sketch. The book was designed by me and painted by Martin Davey.
