WE FOUGHT THEM IN GUNBOATS (12A)


This Suffolk double bill features two films by Tim Curtis who made Life on the Deben and begins with We Fought Them in Gunboats, a film about Gunboat Lieutenant Commander Robert Hichens and the heroes of HMS Beehive, the Coastal Forces base at Felixstowe Dock (now part of the Port of Felixstowe), who took on the German E-Boats in the North Sea during the Second World War.


This is followed by a Q&A with publisher and author Julia Jones of Golden Duck Publishing, who has released the uncensored version of We Fought Them in Gunboats as Robert Hitchens originally wrote it. Interviewed by Nick Cottam.

Stanley Banyard, a Ramsholt farmhand makes a name for himself at the Front in France and the Pretty’s of Sutton Hoo fame have to deal with family tragedy. Presented and narrated by John McCarthy.

WHY DOES A WELL PRODUCED VIDEO MATTER? 

In a digital landscape where attention spans are fleeting, a video promotion holds the key to cutting through the noise and capturing your audience's imagination. With the ability to convey your message visually and emotionally, videos engage viewers on a deeper level, fostering a connection that mere text struggles to achieve. Whether it's showcasing your product, explaining a concept, or telling your brand story, a well-crafted video promotion has the power to leave a lasting impression, drive higher engagement, and ultimately convert casual viewers into devoted customers.

I have no hesitation in recommending Tim for future work”

Nigel Hinds OBE

In a world where problem solving is vital, Tim is someone I feel I can go to for a solution and will with excellent good humour do all he can to make it happen"

Dr Tom Woollard

"Tim is one of the best Cameramen / Editors I have worked with. 

He has a tremendous eye for composition and is a wizard on the Avid, but most of all he's a journalist with a nose for a great story and the determination and people skills to develop ideas into great television."

Sandy MacIntyre,

Director of Global Video News, The AP

"Filming a classical music concert is notoriously difficult, particularly to make it interesting and different, without being too fussy or artificial.


And to do this without disturbing the peace of the concert for the artist and for the audience is a hard task. Tim achieves the lot and more, magnificently, efficiently and unobtrusively."

Joeske Van Walsum

Co-founder, Maestro Arts

Nigel Hinds OBE
Executive Producer, 14-18 NOW

John Simpson , BBC World Affairs Editor


"Tim is thoroughly professional, wholly reliable and great to work with..."


Robert Peston, BBC Business Editor

"Tim, the event was a resounding success! People viewed from the UK, Europe and the USA. The thing that I was amazed by was how moved people were and that could only happen because of the way your film created an atmosphere as well as showing the painstaking process of the whole thing. Many people said what a beautiful film it is."


Arabella Marshall, glass artist, A Wing and a Prayer.
