  • As many of you will know, Tim keeps his amazing toy collection in a vast array of suitcases that almost take over his flat - see • Meet Tim Rowett, the m... for a short film about Tim and Grand Illusions made by the BBC.
    The filing system is based on date, i.e. the year he bought or acquired the toy. Here is one of his cases from the year 2000. A millennial case if you will!
    We are experimenting with shooting videos in Ultra HD, or 4K. This is the first video we have shot in 4K. Any feedback as to whether you can see an improvement is welcome.
