You may have seen the first episode of the new BBC2 series 'The Victorian Pharmacy'.

If you tune in to episode 4 (29th July I think) you may see Steve Miller & myself showing them how to make fireworks & matches respectively.

On the other hand, we might be all over the cutting room floor!

ill look forward to it, how did you get the gig?

[phildunford]

Steve got it through his FX business & invited me along, as they wanted someone who knew a bit about match chemistry.

They also wanted a 'Victorian' firework display for the series finale, which Steve arranged. I helped him set up and acted as safety officer. Watch out for his excellent lancework portrait of Queen Victoria!

Thanks for the headsup - looking forward to this!

According to the closing footage in episode 2, it looks like you and steve have avoided the cutting room floor!

Seems so!

Owing to sporting coverage, looks like our episode will probably go out on 5th August...

Well done to Phil & Steve, you came across as real pro`s, and we got great publicity for our society to a UK wide TV audience.

[phildunford]

I'd like to thank my mother, my agent, all my family, my school chemistry teacher...

Seriously though, thought we came over pretty well & it was a bit of good publicity for UKPS on main steam media.

[portfire]

A bit of good for the UKPS? Come on Phil!

[wayne]
