Had a brilliant time working with 50 talented filmmakers on this project, thank you @ahrcpress @BBCArchive @KingstonSchArt for making it happen #BBC100
To celebrate #BBC100, we've opened up the BBC archives for emerging creators to have a play and create their own unique short films for @makefilmhistory. You can watch some of these shorts here: canvas-story.bbcrewind.co.uk/makefilmhistor…
@BBCArchive Loved this series from #BBCScotland, called Open to Question. My school was one of many in Glasgow that participated and filming in 1984, Billy talked to the students for so long they released an extra ‘out of the question’ episode.
@BBCArchive Fair questions at the time and fair response, tough though😁. Really nice bit at the end. If you see the vids of him at home in Florida out on the deck playing the banjo - he got there.
