We spent a pleasant day there today, but I’d struggle to come up with 100 things to do! Apart from the obvious (Cathedral, city walls, River Stour), there’s the Smallfilms Gallery at the Beaney and the remarkable Baobab plane trees

I'm hoping to do a cut-out animation based on a scene from Marco Polo in a style reminiscent of Smallfilms, but then I've always had an idea for a remake of "Terror of The Zygons" in the style of an "Ivor The Engine" episode as well.

Decided to finally commit to this "drawing" thing people do regularly, and this is what I came out with. I tried to go for a Smallfilms/Oliver Postgate inspired look here. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Peter Firmin said in a documentary about Smallfilms that he got the idea for the character design from seeing the Lewis chessmen in the British Museum.

I’m about halfway through the book and absolutely loving it! The Smallfilms and Trumptonshire sections made me quite emotional, even though the programmes were made before I was born [in 1975] they are such a strong memory of my childhood TV viewing.
