Paul Watson BAFTA winner of Tonbridge....

Excuse my ignorance but I knew very little of documentary film maker Paul Watson, let alone the fact that he lives in central Tonbridge. He's won a special award at this year's ceremony and, in the words of regular T blogger Mike, he is "The Father of Fly" (that's on the wall documentaries to the uninformed among you, me included!) Apparently he has been nominated at least 8 times in previous BAFTAs before eventually coming up trumps this year. I'm looking forward to meeting him at tonight's POETRY AT THE IVY; perhaps he's written one or two verses about his experiences with The Family back in the 1970s. If not he can just nip in for a pint or two and listen to me babble on....
