Sid Perou Archive

[LStallabrass]

Hello,

I'm working on The Repair Shop for BBC and we would love to use these wonderful photos of Sid Perou in an episode, if possible.

I'd be grateful if anyone might be able to shed more light as to who the original photographers may have been.

Taken at Pippikin Pot, Castleguard and Gaping Gill.

Thanks so much!

Lynne

I hope someone can help. Great to hear Sid's camera or some such thing might appear on Repair Shop. Fab show.

From 14 minutes, his two sons appear, having unsuccessfully brought the trophy back from Thailand (although it's probably worth giving them another one so they can each have a copy):

The Repair Shop - Series 14: Episode 22

The team restore a unique pair of cowboy boots, a piece of plaster holding a loved one's message, a puppet that has lost its limbs and a pioneering film-maker's award.

Hay. I am wondering if you got a copy of the film of the black holes expedition , Mexico from Sid. I recieved a copy of him of more than 1Gb just before he died.
