Hi, This is the first of hopefully many journeys back into the past to explore the mysterious and downright silly world of Sutton Park; Beeches Broadcasting Company's strangest show - which ran from 1992 until the start of 2001. Many of the images here on the site have never been seen before and many of the episodes were never properly edited - only the first 1000 or so out of over 3000 episodes that were made.
Even though the show hasn't been made since 2001, many of it's stars have gone onto other things and Sutton Park continues to be referenced in a lot of my own projects - with characters reappearing in my novels, scripts and photographs. More about that as the site develops.
Sutton Park star, Nick Goodman and I, have begun work on both a retrospective DVD project concerning the show and I am also using a lot of the stills that have been lifted from footage for the DVD for this site and for the first of several Sutton Park books that I hope to compile and make available via www.lulu.com over the next few years.
Anyway - this first post takes us back, quite randomly to Autumn 1995 and features a number of the shows regulars at this time, played by myself, Nick Goodman, Lee Freeman and Andrew Trowbridge.
I hope you enjoy the photos and thank you to everyone who appeared in the show over the years. I'll be after you all for anecdotes in the near future - so be warned!!! :)
Love and silliness, Paul xx
