‘There are so many insights – even hardcore Bond fans will be surprised. Indispensable.' – David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE Only six men can lay claim to wearing the famous Savile Row tuxedo of James Bond; more people have stepped on the Moon. Yet, hundreds more came within an inch of winning the coveted 007 role – the pinnacle for so many actors. For the first time, The Search for Bond tells the extraordinary story of how cinema's most famous secret agent was cast, featuring exclusive interviews with many of the actors who were at one time considered to play Bond, interviewed for the role, or went as far as to be screen tested. From Sir Ranulph Fiennes to Sam Neill, their memories and stories give a fascinating insiders' glimpse into the process of how the Bond producers, Broccoli and Saltzman, came up with the right man to play their famous spy.

Being a tailor is a profession. It has been since 1563 when laws were passed that stated you could only trade as a tailor if you had served your term learning the craft. Today, there are around 13,000 tailors across the UK, and while Savile Row may be synonymous with the craft, most tailors are working their magic in our satellite cities and market towns. On this week's The Factory Next Door, we head to Macclesfield to meet Brita. She's a celebrated tailor in her own right, as well as being the driving force behind The Tailoring Academy – a school teaching our next generation of tailors. Number 29 on our list of the greatest products we make in Britain is The Three-Piece Suit. As we explore the Academy, Brita explains why having an engineers' mind helps to be a good tailor, the zen-like state you must journey into when spending hours hand-sewing, and we celebrate operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti. We also catch up with a former student to learn how the craft has changed his life, and discover why tailors, when they first meet, never look each other in the eye. Please consider buying me a coffee to keep this show on the roadhttps://buymeacoffee.com/thefactorynextdoor (you don't need to register or create an account!) Say hello on Instagram @thefactorynextdoor

Le 30 janvier 1969, les Beatles surprennent Londres avec un concert improvisé sur le toit des studios d'Apple Corps, à Savile Row. Sous un ciel gris et face à un froid hivernal, les premières notes de Get Back résonnent, attirant une foule fascinée et provoquant des embouteillages dans le quartier. Ce moment unique est aussi un témoignage des tensions internes qui déchirent le groupe, alors au bord de la séparation. Filmé et enregistré, ce concert, à la fois spontané et historique, est devenu une icône de la culture pop. Entre créativité débridée et derniers instants d'unité, il marque la fin d'une époque pour les Fab Four. Ce jour-là, malgré l'intervention de la police pour faire cesser le tapage, les Beatles gravent leur dernier concert dans la légende.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Towards the end of 2019, I decided that in 2020, I would go all in on a minimalist project. I had played around with it for a number of years, but it wasn't until 2020 that I formally turned it into a project and began the process of clearing out a lot of stuff I had collected that was no longer benefiting me.  And yes, four or five years ago, minimalism was a thing. Everyone was talking about it, and there were thousands of videos of people showcasing how bare and minimal their workspaces were.  It was a trend, and while that trend appears to be forgotten, I learned many things that I still practice today.  So, it was a nice surprise to find a question about it in my inbox a few weeks ago. I realised it was a good time to tell you about what I learned and what I am still practising today.  So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question… Which I realise I've already told you.  This week's question comes from Milos. Milos asks, hi Carl, I remember a few years ago, you mentioned that you were about to start a minimalist project. How did it go, and are you still a minimalist? Hi Milos, thank you for your wonderful question.  Like most projects, or goals, designed to change how you do things, once you complete them, it's easy to forget you ever did them. My minimalist project was such a project.  I changed a lot of things that I do automatically today, so your question caused me to reminisce on how things used to be.  I should point out that I wasn't into extreme consumerism. I would replace my phone, iPads and computers when they stopped functioning in a way I needed them to do.  For example, my old Intel computer became very slow over a year when Apple switched from Intel chips to their M series. So much so that it took up to an hour to render a fifteen-minute YouTube video. When I changed my computer to an M series one, that time came down to around six minutes.  However, I think I am a bit of a hoarder, and I had boxes of old papers from my teaching days I no longer needed. I was always reluctant to throw away old clothes, believing one day I might regain the weight I had lost and would require those bigger sizes again.  My wardrobe, drawers and other cupboards were full of stuff I no longer needed and would never need again.  So that was where the project began. Clearing out old clothes and papers I no longer needed.  As with all endeavours like this, I did go a little extreme. My desk, for instance, was stripped of its soul—well, it felt like it. All I had on there was my computer, keyboard and trackpad. I found it became an uninspiring place to work.  So, gradually, I added some things back. An analogue clock—a tool I use to prevent time blindness when I get into a focused zone and a few little mementoes to bring some character back.  The biggest part of the project was clearing out drawers, cupboards and my wardrobe. That was liberating and I was surprised how much space I had once everything was cleared and either thrown away or taken to the recycling.  I moved house at the end of 2021, and that was an opportunity to complete the project—well, the clearing out of the old part of the project. However, the biggest change was in the way I approached purchasing.  I stopped buying electronic gadgets. I am in the Apple ecosystem and Apple's products, on the whole, last a long time. For example, I have an iPad mini for reading ebooks, magazines and the newspaper. I've had the same iPad mini for the last five years. And I have no intention of replacing it any time soon.  Another change was to apply some rules to my purchasing. This was inspired from how the British gentry in the early 1900s approached buying clothes and personal consumption items.  In the 1920s (and 30s), aristocrats bought clothes and necessities once. For instance, a young aristocrat would purchase a set of luggage that would last a lifetime.  If something broke or the leather tore, they would fix it. A new suitcase was not necessary.  These repairs added character and gave these items a unique look. It was also a much more environmentally friendly way to treat possessions than we do today—throwing away items once they are either out of date or have a minor problem and buying new ones.  It's easy to tell ourselves that life was much simpler in those days. It wasn't. People had just as many problems as we do today. They did not have the conveniences we have: no food delivery services, no Google or ChatGTP to find something out instantly, and no technology to make doing our work better and faster.  The clothing rule I applied was built around the principle of less is better. This translated into buying better quality and less of it. It also allowed me to apply a rule of only buying natural fibres. So that meant mainly cotton and wool.  I do have some un-natural fibre clothing. My exercise gear and a heavy winter coat, for example—it gets very cold in Korea. But apart from that, I stick to natural fibres.  Much of what I do today is inspired by the pre-consumerism days. Only buy what you need and buy the best quality you can afford.  I also learned something from Winston Churchill. Choose your suppliers. What this means is you use the same stores to buy your clothes and anything else you may need.  Winston Churchill, for instance bought all his suits from H W Poole—a London tailor in Savile Row. His shirts were bought at Turnbull and Asser, and his iconic cigars came from James Fox.  If you think about that for a moment, if you use the same suppliers for all your clothing and other things, you know your sizes and precisely what you want, which means you don't need to research or waste a lot of time trying to find what you want. You reduce the paradox of choice and get back to living life.  Now, I cannot afford to buy suits from H W Poole or shirts from Turnbull and Asser, but I do have my own favourite suppliers.  I buy socks from Peper Harow, my sweaters from N Peal and Cordings of Piccadilly and coats from Barbour. Yes, they are expensive, but the clothing last a very long time and are all made from either cotton or wool.  Another lesson I learned from my minimalist project was the importance of rules and routines.  If you've read Around The World In Eighty Days or the books by P G Wodehouse and his characters Jeeves and Wooster, you may have noticed the main characters had strict rules and routines. Wake up times and when they expected their morning cup of tea. Dinner time was a social occasion with pre-dinner drinks and formal clothing.  Perhaps part of the reason for the increase in mental health issues today is because we no longer have these important daily rituals. It's all go go go. No time to stop and appreciate sitting around a table with family and friends or going out for a daily walk, or even doing what in Around The World in Eighty days is called your “toilet”—which means washing and bathing.  These were deliberate activities, not rushed or forced. It was just what you naturally did each day.  There was a time for everything.  Another area of this period that has fascinated me was the way people approached writing and replying to letters. This was considered a joy and most people spent time each day doing it.  And there was a mix of personal and business letters that needed to be done and the volume was comparable to what we receive in emails and messages today.  The biggest difference was rather feeling they had to reply to everything each day, they focused on the amount of time they had available to write. I have adopted this approach myself. I don't look at how many emails I need to reply to, I look at how much time I have and once that time is up, I stop.  If you do that every day, you will remain on top of your communications reasonably consistently.  I often hear about people doing a digital detox. One change I made, was to again take inspiration from the 1920s and 30s. In those days people bought their favourite newspaper and read the whole paper.  Now, many successful people still do this today. Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase Bank and Warren Buffett for instance. They subscribe to their favourite newspapers and allocate time each day to read them.  This stops you from getting caught up in clip bait headlines and being “triggered” by low quality reporting.  So now I read the same newspaper every day and only look through my social media later in the evening when I have finished my day.  So the lessons I learned was to buy less stuff but better quality. That's ensured my wardrobe is clean and not over-stuffed with clothes I won't wear.  I have also structured my days better. There's a time for doing my communications, eating with family and friends, and my favourite of all, going out for what we call our family walk. That's with my wife and little Louis. He loves it, and my wife and I get some quality time most days.  All of this was inspired from reading history books and biographies and realising that minimalism isn't about stripping everything out of your life so all you are left with is a soulless screen. It's about removing things that no longer serve you, and leaving the things that mean something to you and living life by a set of rules you set yourself.  I hope that has answered your question, Milos. Thank you for asking it and thank you for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all very very productive week.

We meet Mary Ramsden to discuss her new solo exhibition Desire Line, opening this week at Pilar Corrias, London.Captivated by the sheer range of ideas and images that a passage of paint can convey, from a tuft of grass to a soaring patch of sky, Ramsden revels in the boundless versatility of her medium. The artist brings a range of references to this new body of work, including English landscape painting, the subtle palette and chromatic intelligence of Les Nabis painters Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard, and a keen engagement with poetry and literature. Ramsden's title, Desire Line, refers to a phenomenon whereby a path emerges through spontaneous and habitual use, whether in a park, pasture or wilderness.Based in North Yorkshire, many of Ramsden's recent paintings reflect the textures of the local landscape as well as the qualities of northern light. The artist considers paint earthy, modest and infinitely adaptable, with the capacity to conjure atmospheres, images and metaphors, all within a single set of brushstrokes. Dark oxygen (all works 2024) evokes a moonlit landscape, with patches of cool lilacs and silvery blues and greens. Touches of rust and warm colours mark the edges, while the whole painting seems to be embraced by a quivering penumbra. If Dark oxygen has a wintry chill, a sense of abundant, generative life characterises the surface of My desire is not a thinking. In a haze of peachy orange, as if bathed in the light of a sunrise, sections of paint emerge on the canvas like patches of lichen or moss, sedately moving with their own inner force or rhythm. Both paintings express a distilled and unearthly beauty, reminiscent of a mythical landscape conjured by Gustave Moreau, though fractured and emptied of narrative. At the same time, these are meditations on paint itself; each canvas a multivalent space for Ramsden to revel in the ambiguity and potential of her surfaces.Fascinated by how Bertolt Brecht would have his characters change costumes to foreground the drama's illusory nature, Ramsden likewise conceives of different passages of paint as characters that might, with a simple shift of emphasis or the viewer's perspective, become something new. The same section of a painting might evoke a stony field or a pool of dappled light, a cracked patch of ice or a window at night. Another touchstone for the artist is Robert Motherwell, who, like Ramsden, adapted many of his titles from poetry, and considered abstraction a kind of universal language capable of communicating both powerful emotions and complex thoughts.The exhibition will be accompanied by a booklet with an essay by novelist and essayist Daisy Hildyard and a poem by Danielle Wilde.Desire Line runs until 11th January 2025 and is now open at Pilar Corrias, on Savile Row, London.

Han har trolig NRKs mest omtalte hår, blir rørt av lukten av søppel i London og bruker 14 sekunder på å knyte en "dobbel windsor". I fire år var han NRKs mann i Storbritannia. I dag er Espen Aas best kjent som programleder i Dagsnytt 18. I nærmere ti år har han fått skjortene sine sydd hos sin faste leverandør på Savile Row i London. Men har NRK-journalisten alltid vært britisk og konservativ? Hva skjedde da han møtte opp på pressekonferanse ikledd Sputnik-t-skjorte og skinnvest? Hva er greia med én ny slipsknute for hver sending? Og hvilken gjest har til nå kledd seg dårligst i dax18-studioet?

How did Savile Row entrepreneur Patrick Grant become Britain's best-known advocate against crappy plastic clothes and the owner of an affordable clothing factory in Blackburn? And why did an exploding oven tray and dodgy plug socket result in Less, his 2024 bestselling book about how we can all live happier lives with less but better stuff? In this conversation, Melanie and Patrick leap from the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius to £1 lunches, why he properly loves a factory, and how making things went from a decent everyday job for millions of people, to a pursuit mainly for those with wealth. Along the way Patrick shares why every twist and turn of his life and varied career - expert on Savile Row tailoring, TV Judge on the BBC's Sewing Bee, author, and founder of Community Clothing - feeds into his true purpose, to challenge us to reframe what we want, and why we want it.

"His clothes seemed to melt into each other with the perfection of their cut and the quiet harmony of their colour. Without a single point of emphasis, everything was distinguished" The suit has long served as the official attire of men in Britain, Europe and the Western World. Traditionally the uniform of the elites and an indicator of class, its purpose and design has evolved over time. Notably, in the great sweep of clothing throughout human history - from the Roman toga to the ancient Egyptian shendyt - the suit is unusual for the way that it hugs the body, rather than hanging off it. What then is the origin of this most venerable of fashions? And why has it conventionally been so much more constrained and less flamboyant than women's clothing? The genesis of the suit dates back to 14th century Latin Christendom, a period of rapid innovation and evolution in clothing, though in England its symbolic resonance emerged during the Civil War, when the style of one's dress became emblematic of ideology. Remarkably, however, the exact moment of its invention is recorded when, in the wake of the Great Fire of London, fears for God's wrath and the economy, saw Charles I announce the introduction of a new design for his nobles. From this moment onwards the suit has been woven into some of the great ideological movements, moments, and characters of history. Join Tom and Dominic as they travel through the glamorous, colourful and often adventurous history of the suit. From Chaucer's England and the Black Death, fashion feuds between Kings, through the Napoleonic Wars, into the Highwaymen and Pirates of the 18th century; Beau Brummell and the rise of the dandy, the macaronis and the fop, right into the illustrious origins of Savile Row, and some of the suit's famous contemporary champions… EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/restishistory Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! *The Rest Is History LIVE in 2024* Tom and Dominic are back onstage this summer, at Hampton Court Palace in London!

Today on the show I have editor of Fangoria Magazine Phil Nobile Jr. We're going to break down minute five of Casino Royale.  After Phil I talk to tailor Timothy Everest MBE. Timothy has worked on films like Skyfall, Spectre, Man from Uncle, he's also got a book out Boy Wanted on Savile Row, a memoir, ghost written by yours truly. 

In this episode, I go on a sartorial journey with designer, businessman, author, and TV presenter Patrick Grant. Perhaps best known for his role in the TV show “The Great British Sewing Bee,” Grant is a man who has a lot to say about clothes: how many we buy, how we value them, what they're made from, and importantly, who made them and where. Patrick Grant has an engineering background and he has applied this knowledge to his fashion journey. I find myself going down a rabbit hole with Grant on the provenance of our clothes… on elastane and polymers and microplastics. We travel on with his journey of rebuilding the Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons and then on to 2015 when he bought the ailing Blackburn clothing manufacturer Cookson & Clegg, saving the factory from closure and the potential loss of all the skills of the team, not to mention their jobs. Grant has a passion for skilled British craftsmanship and in 2016 he created his campaigning clothes brand Community Clothing, which supports local clothing and textile manufacturers across the UK… just brilliant. As you can probably tell by now, Grant is a man on a mission. His recently launched book “Less: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer, Better Things Can Make Us Happier” makes for pretty sobering reading. As he says, “We used to care a lot about our clothes. We didn't have many but those we had were important to us. We'd cherish them, repair them, and pass them on. And making them provided fulfilling work for millions of skilled people locally.” This is something we have totally lost sight of in our quest for more and cheaper… a fast fashion dopamine hit. He goes on to say, “Today the average person has nearly five times as many clothes as they did just 50 years ago. Last year, 100 billion garments were produced worldwide, most made from oil, 30% of which were not even sold, and the equivalent of one bin lorry full of clothing is dumped in landfill or burned every single second. Our wardrobes are full to bursting with clothes we never wear so why do we keep buying more?” On a lighter note, we touch on some of his worst fashion moments… probably in the 80s, living in San Francisco… but, he was wearing a sarong before David Beckham famously did! Patrick is a fabulously knowledgeable guest, and he really gets you thinking about the beauty and importance of just having LESS. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Richard Anderson began his journey at Row (Savile Row) from the age of 17. He began as an apprentice and never looked back. As one the most well-known tailors of the Row, join Richard and I in a conversation about how he maintained to become one of the most established craftsman and stylish tailors at Row and internationally. As Richard says, he fell into tailoring from wanting to become a footballer. This great match I would have to say he seem to have won the final at the Row and holding on the greatest trophy.

A report suggests London could be on course to become something of a “Manhattan-on-Thames” as almost 600 more skyscrapers are planned to cram into gaps of the capital's crowded historic skyline.The 10th annual tall buildings report from think-tank New London Architecture finds there are 583 tall buildings of more than 20 storeys that authors describe as “queuing up in the pipeline”.Plus, Gordon Ramsay's plans to become the BT Tower's successor as London's highest restaurant and Savile Row tailors are unhappy at Westminster Council's pushback over redevelopment of a former police station.From the newsroom, join Evening Standard business editor Jonathan Prynn in conversation with Mark Blunden.

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today's episode is a seasonal journey, a seaside escapade, and a culinary exploration all rolled into one. We're starting with our top 5 favourite seasons in cinema, taking a detour to the charming town of Saltburn, and wrapping up with a dive into the flavoursome world of Salt Fat Acid Heat.Top 5 Seasons in Cinema:Spring - "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring" (2003): This beautiful film uses the cyclical nature of the seasons to tell profound stories of human life, reflecting the passage of time and the lessons learned along the way.Summer - "The Endless Summer" (1966): An iconic surf documentary that follows two surfers on a global quest to find the perfect wave, capturing the essence of summer and adventure.Autumn - "When Harry Met Sally" (1989): The autumnal scenes of New York City provide a picturesque backdrop to this classic romantic comedy, enhancing the film's themes of change and maturity.Winter - "The Revenant" (2015): Winter's harshness is palpable in this survival drama, where the icy landscapes are both breathtakingly beautiful and brutally challenging.All Seasons - "Forrest Gump" (1994): Forrest's life story moves through the seasons of his life, with the changing scenery reflecting his journey from a young boy to a seasoned adult.Buckle up, podcast listeners, for a cinematic ride that's equal parts posh and psychotic. We're diving into "Saltburn," the darkly comedic brainchild of Emerald Fennell, the filmmaker who brought us the unforgettable (and slightly terrifying) "Promising Young Woman."This time, Fennell takes us to the hallowed halls of Oxford University, where we meet Oliver Quick. Oliver's about as out of place as a rogue Crocs sandal in a Savile Row suit. But fear not, for a knight in shining bespoke armour appears – well, more like a charming aristocrat named Felix Catton.Felix, dripping in privilege and charisma, offers Oliver a summer getaway he can't refuse: an invitation to Saltburn, the sprawling estate overflowing with Felix's equally eccentric family. Imagine "The Grand Budapest Hotel" if it took a very wrong turn down Downton Abbey Lane.Oliver jumps at the chance to escape his dorm room ramen existence. But what starts out as a posh poolside dream quickly descends into a hilarious, horrifying mess. Think "Weekend at Bernie's" meets "The Talented Mr. Ripley," with a healthy dose of Evelyn Waugh thrown in for good measure.Shifting from the cinematic to the culinary, Salt Fat Acid Heat is a fascinating docuseries hosted by chef and food writer Samin Nosrat. Based on her bestselling book, the series explores these four fundamental elements of cooking to uncover how they can be used to enhance flavour and create culinary delights. Nosrat's journey takes viewers around the world, from the sea salt of Japan to the olive groves of Italy, making it a mouth watering exploration of global cuisine. We were of course really only interested in the salt contentWhether you're a film aficionado, a seaside explorer, or a culinary enthusiast, today's episode offers a rich palette of discussions. So, join us as we traverse through cinematic seasons, uncover the charm of Saltburn, and savour the fundamental tastes of Salt Fat Acid Heat.

In this episode, I am delighted to interview Pete Brooker (From Tailors With Love) about his work about the forthcoming memoir of Timothy Everest MBE.Boy Wanted on Savile Row is a revealing memoir that charts the evolution of British tailoring over the past four decades, starting in the 1980s, when Timothy Everest MBE studied under the rebel of Savile Row, Tommy Nutter, and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Steve Strange and Boy George among the New Romantics club scene.Branching out on his own in the ‘90s, Everest initially styled bands and pop stars, such as George Michael, before he became the spearhead of the ‘Cool Britannia' generation and the face of the New Bespoke Movement. His many bespoke clients included Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Mick Jagger and Jay-Z, to name a few. Eventually he would turn his hand to tailoring for films, such as the James Bond and Mission Impossible franchises, and would create some truly iconic suits.Featuring a wealth of celebrity anecdotes, both hilarious and tragic, Boy Wanted on Savile Row leads the reader through a landscape of bespoke British tailoring that would change the way we view and buy our clothes forever.The book is available for pre-order on Amazon, now.You can find Pete on Instagram and Youtube: @FromTailorsWithLoveMessage me anytime on Instagram, @FlemingNeverDies, or e-mail: AlbionNeverDies@gmail.comCheck out my https://www.youtube.com/britishcultureCheck out my Red Bubble shopSubscribe to my newsletter for update e-mails, random postcards, and stickers: https://youtube.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b3afdae99897eebbf8ca022c8&id=5165536616Support the show

When London (by way of Australia) bespoke shoemaker Sebastian Tarek began making shoes in high school, his grandmother let him in on a little secret: he had been preceded in his journey by 18 generations of family cordwainers.After years of schooling—including at the famed Cordwainers College in Hackney, London—he eventually ended up settling into a role as a bottom-maker for some of Savile Row's most prestigious bespoke firms, both in an in-house capacity and also as an piece-work outworker.Today, Sebastian continues his outwork...work...while also creating his own bespoke shoes and boots for clients, as well as select ready-to-wear collections for retailers in Japan and elsewhere. While the outwork keeps his skills sharp and focused, Sebastian's personal shoemaking style is a raw, anti-elegant ("I don't want the act of shoemaking to be the attempt to replicate and perfect something a machine can do") exploration of UK-based materials, all sprung from a love of old worn denim, centuries-old Japanese farmhouses, and possible overuse of the word "singularity". To top it all off, Sebastian's about as delightfully affable and humble as people get, and there are few people more enjoyable to talk shoes and shoemaking with. So I did that! ______________________________________________________________________________________________This episode was sponsored by Grant Stone Theme Song: The Road by Punk Rock Opera

Patreon Preview from Blamo!Nina Penlington is the head cutter at Edward Sexton. She carries forward one of the greatest tailoring legacies of our generation.The late Edward Sexton was the technical mind behind Nutters of Savile Row. In the 1960's Edward and Tommy Nutter revitalized the Row with their glamorous suits and welcoming shop front. They dressed rock and roll legends such as Mick Jagger, Elton John, and most Beatles members. The cut was unapologetic and romantic. Edward and Tommy made full-bodied coats with square shoulders, nipped waists, and lapels so wide that they almost grazed the wearer's shoulders. Sexton liked to call his cut "long and leafy."Sadly, Edward passed away in the summer of '23, and Nina, who previously worked under him, has taken his place as the firm's head cutter. She has almost 20 years of experience as a cutter, having worked at Dege & Skinner and Gieves & Hawks, which gives her a solid foundation for carrying forward Edward's strong and angular cut.Derek and Peter discuss what it was like working with Edward, how to make bespoke suits for women, and a controversial tailoring topic called "straightening & crookening."**Listen to the entire episode and on the Blamo!

If a film director wanted to flag up incoming violence in the late ‘50s, the camera would fall upon a couple of Teds lurking in the street outside. The teenage Keith Richards remembers razors, bike chains and bloodshed at dance halls and there was an infamous Teddy Boy murder on Clapham Common that plunged the nation into frantic, media-led moral panic. Max Décharné sets out to reclaim the Teds from their “Cro-Magnon, knuckle-dragging cliché” in his new book Teddy Boys and relives this dangerously thrilling rock and roll revolution – the music, clothes, films, press stories, the birth of Ted, Peak Ted, its eventual demise and what's kept the flame alive since. Things of note include …   … the full effect of Blackboard Jungle on a packed 4,000-seater cinema. ... that poignant sight of an old Ted pushing a pram with a woman with a beehive. … Joan Collins in ‘Cosh Boy'.   … the first UK rock and roll gig, Bill Haley & the Comets at the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth in 1956.  … the crepe-soled, velvet-collared Duke of Edinburgh, unlikely '50s fashion icon. … Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis at the London Rock and Roll Show at Wembley in 1972, a key point in the Ted revival. … Malcolm McLaren, Johnny Rotten, Wizzard and assorted Ted torch-carriers. … Viv Stanshall and ‘Teddy Boys Don't Knit'. … fingertip drapes from Savile Row and how Teds subverted top-end fashion.   … Fleetwood Mac as Earl Vince & the Valiants doing ‘Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonite'. … and how the Beatles and James Bond helped kick the Teds into touch. Order Max's book here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teddy-Boys-Post-War-Britain-Revolution-ebook/dp/B0C3SFMTFHSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content, plus a whole load more!: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Andrew Ramroop, OBE  is a Master Bespoke Tailor who owns the very famous Maurice Sedwell Tailor Company on trendy and famous Savile Row in London. This is a heart warming and inspiring story of "Progress despite Obstacles". A must hear episode! Produced, directed, written, edited and hosted by Stephen E. Davis.

It had a budget of just $1 million, a lead actor wearing a toupee, and the baddie in the first draft of the script was a monkey. But the first James Bond film, ‘Dr. No', which began shooting in Jamaica on 16th January, 1962, kicked off a phenomenally successful franchise that's still a staple of cinema today. Its star, Sean Connery, had been picked out by producers after his appearance in a Disney production, but was marketed as a former lorry driver with little acting experience. Concerned that Connery lacked the sophistication of Bond's background, director Terence Young took him on a tour of swish casinos, posh members clubs and his Savile Row tailors. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Connery came to improvise one of the movie's most iconic moments; explain why Ian Fleming was first dismissive, then delighted by his casting; and trace the origins of the 007 formula that endures through all of Cubby Broccoli's subsequent productions… Further Reading: • The Bond bunch: the failed contenders for coveted role (The Independent, 2006): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/the-bond-bunch-the-failed-contenders-for-coveted-role-423454.html • ‘The Making of DR.

AroundThe World In 80 Days by Jules Gabriel Verne词汇提示1.reform 改革2.manservant 仆人3.circus 马戏团4.fire brigade 消防队5.elegant 优雅6.moustache 胡子原文Chapter 1: When Phileas Fogg meets PassepartoutLondon.1872Let me begin by introducing a mysterious' English gentleman called Phileas Fogg.Most people don't know very much about him, but because he does the same thing everyday, some people think they know everything about him.He is very handsome and he is a true gentleman.He is certainly rich, but no one knows how he made his money.Has he ever been to another country?He can name a lot of countries on a world map and he knows the most incredible things about them.He probably traveled at one time, but some people insist that he has not left London for many years.Maybe he only travels in his head.He is a very private man and he does not have many friends.The only time he speaks to other people is at the Reform Club, where he goes to read newspapers and play cards.He does not play to win.He plays for the enjoyment of the game.He often wins, but he does not keep the money. He gives it to charity.He likes to see his games as a challenge; a challenge that does not require any physical effort.He has lunch at the Reform Club every day, in the same room, at the same table.He goes home at midnight.He lives in his house in Savile Row, a good address in central London.No one ever goes there, except his manservant, who must always be on time and be completely loyal to Phileas Fogg.In fact, this very morning, his manservant lost his job because the water he brought Phileas Fogg was too hot to shave with.And this is where our story begins.Phileas Fogg was sitting in his armchair waiting for his new manservant at some time between eleven and half past eleven.At exactly half past eleven, Mr. Fogg goes to the Reform Club.He looked up at the hands of the large clock by the wall that counted every second with aloud tick.There was a knock at the door and a young man of about thirty came in."You say that you are French, but your name is John?' asked Phileas Fogg, looking at him carefully.'Jean,sir, not John,' said the young man. 'Jean Passepartout. I am an honest man,sir, and I must tell you that I haven't been a manservant all my life. I was a physical education teacher and a music teacher; then I became a singer. I once rode a horse in a circus, and for a time I worked for the fire brigade in Paris. I found out that a certain Mr. Fogg was looking for a manservant."He is a very clever, careful man," they told me. "You won't find a quieter man in all of England. He does the same thing every day. And so I came here to ask about the job, in the hope of finally being able to live a quiet life.''Yes,someone at the Reform Club told you this I believe - probably the same person who told me about you. Do you understand what type of person I'm looking for?'"Yes,sir. I do, and I think I'm perfect for the job. "Well then, what time is it now?''Eleven twenty-two, Mr. Fogg,' Passepartout replied, taking his pocket-watch out of as mall side pocket.'Exactly four minutes late,' noted Phileas Fogg, looking at his own watch.'So,let's say you started working for me as from -eleven twenty-six.'Phileas Fogg stood up from his armchair, picked up his hat, and went out of the door without saying another word.From this brief introduction, Passepartout was able to make note of his employer.He was about forty years old, an elegant man with an attractive, gentle face.He was tall, with blond hair and a moustache.He was the sort of person who remained incredibly calm, even under pressure.He had gentle eyes that fixed you with a firm stare.He never seemed upset or worried.He was a typical Englishman.It was always difficult to guess an Englishman's true feelings.And our Frenchman?Passepartout had an attractive face and he was incredibly strong.He had blue eyes, and untidy, curly brown hair.He was a sweet person who understood the meaning of true friendship and loyalty.It was just after half past eleven and Passepartout, who was now alone in his new home, decided to look around.After looking in all the different rooms, he finally came to his own bedroom.Above the fireplace there was an electric clock; it was the same electric clock that Phileas Fogg had in his room.The two clocks ticked at the exact same second.Below the clock there was a piece of paper listing the details of Mr. Fogg's day.'Not bad at all, ' thought Passepartout. 'A man who is as regular as clock work! This is just what I was looking for.'

There's three little things I am enjoying about the new Government so far.  The first is the media imploding about the use of Māori language. Winston Peters didn't help with his claim at Government House yesterday that the media were bribed by the previous Government.  That is categorically not true. But a lot of what Winston says has the seeds of some sense about them.  What he is commenting on is the media's shocking performance around neutrality these past six years and especially the first three years and their lovefest over Jacinda Ardern.  The $55 million broadcasting fund he refers to did not buy favour. But it went into an industry that already favoured the people who gave them the money so you can see how those who want to see what they want to see, get to think Winston has a point.  The second is the tertiary fees deals. It hasn't got a lot of coverage, given a lot has happened.  But handing out a year for free at the end of the study was what we all collectively said when Labour, for reasons best known to themselves, decided to make it the first year.  “Next year's on me,” said Ardern. Do you remember that vacuous nonsense?  Most of us questioned why you would give it out year one when people get to try university for nothing, then walk away when it's not for them, leaving us stuck with the bill.  Why not make it an incentive? Six years on there's a touch of good, old common sense.  The third thing is wool.  Government departments must prioritise wool, which the Education Department didn't last year because they bought American and artificial to essentially save themselves money.  In a true centre-right Government the market would win, efficiency would win and cheap would win. But there are times in life you want the influence to pick winners.  New Zealand is about farming. It's about sheep and it's about wool. We have the best wool in the world.  Can it beat plastic when it comes to the price for flooring? No. But neither can Savile Row beat Marks & Spencer.    But, sometimes backing quality for quality's sake is worth the price and wool, like farmers, has had a hell of a time.  But merino has shown there is money to be made and Italy is interested, so the rest of the wool sector can be lifted by a Government backing something profoundly local and of the best quality.  See, it's only Tuesday and already things look brighter. And we haven't even had our first Cabinet meeting yet.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick Grant is a designer, clothing entrepreneur and a judge on the BBC TV programme The Great British Sewing Bee. Patrick was born in Edinburgh in 1972. His interest in clothes and in making things was evident from a very early age, along with a love of sport: his father was a rugby coach and trained Patrick and his friends. Some of his friends went on to represent Scotland and Patrick played for Scotland's under-19 team. He studied Material Science and Engineering at Leeds University and worked in industry for a decade. Then, after spotting an advertisement in a newspaper, he bought an ailing Savile Row tailoring company. It was almost an impulse buy, at great financial risk. After a shaky start, he turned the business around, and within five years he was named menswear designer of the year at the British Fashion Awards. Patrick went on to buy a factory in Blackburn, Cookson and Clegg. He is passionate about British manufacturing, and set up Community Clothing with the aim of making good quality affordable day wear. He has been a judge on The Great British Sewing Bee since the programme began in 2013. He divides his time between London, Blackburn and the Highlands.

Having decided to raise investment for your business, it's important to prepare your financials so that prospective investors can assess the inner workings of your company. Given everyone can find business finances complex to get their heads around, I wanted to talk to someone who didn't come from a financial background but has totally smashed it in raising investment efficiently for their business. In this episode, I hear from Daisy Knatchbull, founder of The Deck, the first women's-only tailoring house to have a shopfront in Savile Row's 200-year history. Beloved by the fashion press since its launch in 2019, The Deck represents Daisy's mission to change tailored clothes for women and offer them a compelling alternative to fast fashion. Daisy shares her advice on how to approach finances when you don't have a background in it, who to bring in to support you and what to be aware of when going into pitch… all before having those extensive investor conversations. Daisy's advice:Before you start, it is vital that you have complete belief in what you do.  Learn the basics of economics (Daisy used a platform called “Upwork” to school herself)Don't be afraid to ask questions, make the most of mentorsResearch the market and look at other business modelsThere is a government tax relief scheme (SEIS) to help investorsBuild a strong pitch deck with at least a three-year (preferably five) projection; explain your business succinctly but assume no prior knowledge on the part of investorsWhen you have no business history, no evidence of transactions, it will be harder to raise money because everything is based on estimates; on the other hand, the next time round you will have to justify  your track record and your positionTry to be choosy and select investors who really believe in youAccept failures and learn from them; be transparent with your investors, as no business is perfect and this will gain their respectDon't waste mental energy on worrying about their risk; this is something they have taken on themselvesAlways take confidence from remembering that you are the expert in what you doIf you'd like to contact Daisy you can reach her on Instagram @thedecklondon_FF&M enables you to own your own PR.

There is a quiet revolution happening on Savile Row in London, home to some of the world's finest men's outfitters, as the makers of bespoke suits embrace textile recycling in a unique new scheme. A number of houses on The Row have been collecting woollen offcuts as they cut and tailor handmade men's clothing – just as they did in times gone by– and sending them off to be recycled into new yarn, which is then woven into fresh cloth. The radical difference is that this time the recycled cloth is being bought back by these high-end workshops to be tailored and sold to the Row's own bespoke customers.    Savile Row, in the heart of London, has been at the centre of high-quality men's tailoring for 200 years. It has supplied handmade suits, from the finest woven cloth, to film stars and royalty, to statesmen and sportsmen. It has a reputation for quality and excellence second to none. Now it is embracing recycling, and it seems, its top-end clients are happy to pay for it.   It's incredibly rare to find a recycling loop like this one – especially in textiles - where the waste is turned into quality new material to be used by the same workshops that created it in the first place. This episode tells the story of how this is happening and follows the journey that turns tiny bits of fabric that would previously have been binned, into new bespoke garments, ones that come with great credentials and an interesting story behind them.   Along the way Haptic & Hue gets a privileged glimpse into the world of Savile Row tailoring – the training and the standards that need to be maintained from start to finish to produce a garment that may well last a century or more.   If you would like to see a full script of this episode, see photos or discover links to further information about the topics discussed you can find all this information at www.hapticandhue.com/listen.

This hard-hitting episode looks into the Daily Mail allegations that the Prime Minister of the UK is wearing suits "too small". Rory Tingle wrote:"Why doesn't Rishi Sunak buy suits that fit? Men's fashion expert is 'baffled' by the 5ft6in Prime Minister's attempt to look trendy with his ankle-skimming tailoring (and says the Noughties want their trousers back!)......In a forensic analysis of Mr Sunak's fashion choices for his 460,000 Twitter followers, Mr Guy said: 'Baffling to me how the wealthiest UK prime minister in history could live just steps away from Savile Row, the single greatest concentration of skilled bespoke tailors, and end up paying $2k for a MTM suit with sleeves and trousers 2-4' too short.'The fashion expert dismissed claims from his followers that Mr Sunak was trying to mask his short stature, or opting for children's sizes to 'dodge VAT'. The PM has never been known to skimp on fashion, having previously been seen wearing £3,500 suits from Bloomsbury tailor Henry Herbert, £490 Prada shoes and a £795 Reiss jacket. He continued: 'Lots of conspiracy theories on why Sunak wears such short trousers and sleeves, but my theory is simple... 'Sunak is a vaguely trend-aware guy, but just a little behind the times. He wears Palm Angels slides, Common Projects sneakers, slim-fit chinos, etc.'I don't think he has a grand theory for how short sleeves and pants make him look taller.'He's simply accustomed to wearing trendy things and so, he wears early 2000s menswear trends.'It is not unusual to see wealthy guys wear such shrunken suits. In fact, this is the dominant silhouette if you visit the downtown district of any major city... ...Mr Guy, who has written for Esquire and the Financial Times, later suggested Mr Sunak had been eclipsed in the fashion stakes by US President Joe Biden, whose 'ready to wear' suits fitted better despite probably being far cheaper."Well, so says the Daily Mail.

Dr Andrew Weber is Medical Director of the Bodyvie Medi-Clinic in London and has more than 40 years of experience as a GP and 25 years specialising in advanced medical aesthetics and cosmetic procedures.   In this episode, Dr Weber and Dr Louise Newson discuss the impact of the perimenopause and menopause on the skin and throughout the body, the importance of hormones and benefits of HRT, and why it is crucial healthcare professionals listen to their patients.   The episode also covers how HRT has advanced and the importance of individualising treatment to find the right dose – Dr Weber likens HRT to buying a bespoke, made to measure Savile Row suit, rather than an off-the-peg outfit.   For more about Dr Andrew Weber and the Bodyvie Medi-Clinic visit bodyvie.com Follow Dr Andrew Weber on Twitter at @drandrewweber
