Hello, this is Barry Norman. Today I want to tell you about a film Lesley and I watched last last night, called Bill Cunningham NewYork. It's a documentary about a fashion photographer who works for the New York Times, and it's one of the most heart-warming, cheery films we've seen for a long time. The thing about Bill is he's 84, and still rides the hectic streets of Manhattan on a push-bike, with a basket on the front, zipping between glitzy grand dinners and swanky catwalk unveilings in a jacket usually worn by the bin-men of Paris! Honestly! Now you might not have an interest in photography - or even fashion - but this lovely film is so worth watching for the sheer joy of life that this guy has! Joie de vivre and humility, but underlined with a determined purposeful drive to get the shots and have them shown in the 'paper properly! We loved it. We loved him! We want to be that happy when we're in our 80s. Thank you, Bill, you're the best!
