I seen the advert for this program on UTV. Never got around to seeing it but luckily found it on Youtube. I personally found it very interesting. A great insight into past and present photography. (not sure if this is the right section for this but feel free to move it admin)

Thought I would share since caring is sharing :lol:

Actor David Suchet AKA Poirot, a keen amateur photographer, follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, Fleet Street photographer Jimmy Jarche.
He sets himself an assignment to meet the standards of modern day Fleet Street photojournalism by emulating and in some cases replicating Jarche’s classic photographs, with the aim of getting his pictures into the Sunday Times magazine.
It provides an insight into Britain then and now through the images he uncovers and attempts to capture, shows how skilled photographers have to be in order to get the shot, and the challenges facing them.
Woven into the narrative is David’s story of the relationship with his grandfather, and his own passion for the unique power of photography.

Thanks Sndipo :wink:

I wasn’t sure whether other people would find it as interesting a me. Very pleased that you are enjoying it. I love the shots Poirot has taken with the Leica and the other shots “Jimmy” took with the same camera decades earlier.
