James: I head up to Yorkshire TV in Leeds where our friend Gareth Spensley helps us with the edit. He is a godsend, and a much needed fresh face. As Tim’s footage is already logged, Spense starts with him. I get digitising Kamaljit. Gab joins us later in the day.
That night, we sleep in a caravan in Spense’s driveway. His parent’s put on an amazing spread of food, and it is much appreciated. It has been the most manic few weeks, and this is such a welcome change. If you are reading this Spensley family – THANK YOU!!!!
The edit goes on for another two days, and Spense was so professional and calm at sticking these films together. Gabby and I just said yes and no to things, and it all felt like we were singing from the same hymn sheet. Even though the Kamaljit short needed jamming together quite extensively, it ended up strong enough.
Basically, we ended on Sunday with three really tight films to show Channel Four. It was all going to plan…
