David Bower

Firstly, I apologise for not posting something yesterday. To be honest, I was at a film set all day - interviewing, reporting and the like - and by the time I got back, I just crashed. If I had managed to post something, it probably would have been even more nonsensical than normal.

So yesterday I interviewed David Bower. David is a deaf actor whose most famous role is that of Hugh Grant's brother in Four Weddings and a Funeral. David was an incredibly charismatic, down-to-earth man and was kind enough to spend almost an hour being interviewed by us when we were told by the producers we'd only be allowed 10-15 minutes.

He then invited us to follow them around on location; a particular highlight being the sign-language fingerspelling race between David and my colleague. The crew were a great laugh and very kind to put up with us running around them with various recording equipment. 

Once the feature has been edited I'll post a link. The interview will be worth watching since David provided us with some fascinating insights into media and the deaf culture.

Also, my reporting blooper reel is bound to contain a few moments of hilarity.
