Time: 10am - 5pm

Venue: Sonar Cinema, Southampton Solent University

Tickets: £30

After Patrick Tucker’s first shoot during his initial training course at the BBC in 1976, he was so annoyed at not being absolutely wonderful that he wrote a rude letter to himself, outlining all his mistakes and faults!
