Blow-up and Other Exaggerations
In 1967 Antonioni's 'Blow Up' was received by stunned audiences across the world. It was one of the most beautiful and enigmatic pictures to capture the zeitgeist and by the end of '60s, David Hemmings who played the central role, was one of the biggest movie stars in the world. From ordinary beginnings, with a doting mother and a father bitterly determined to see his son succeed where he had failed, Hemmings was launched early into an extraordinary life at the age of 12, when he was picked by Benjamin Britten to sing in his new operatic version of 'The Turn of the Screw'. Becoming something of a muse to Britten, a normal life was impossible and, going on to stage school in London, David was...
David Hemmings On Screen
Chris Wade explores the career of actor and director David Hemmings, one of the most unfairly overlooked figures to emerge during the British cinema boom of the 1960s. Primarily known for his lead role in Michelangelo Antonioni's iconic masterpiece Blow Up (1966), Hemmings appeared in dozens of films and TV shows. He also worked prolifically as a director for both the cinema and the small screen. This colourful body of work, which includes roles in such stand out films as Tony Richardson's The Charge of the Light Brigade (1968) and Dario Argento's Deep Red (1975), is crammed full of surprises and hidden treats. In a series of articles on each era of his life, Wade studies the key work from the Hemmings canon; cult classics like Barbarella (1967), unsung masterpieces like The Long Day's Dying (1969), lost gems such as Fragment of Fear (1970) and Voices (1973), important directorial films including The 14 (1973) and Just A Gigolo (1978), not to mention Hemmings' final screen appearances in such fare as Gladiator (2000) and Last Orders (2001). From early rock and roll pictures to directing The A Team, plus everything in between, the career of David Hemmings is endlessly fascinating.

Ten Commandments for Bed and Breakfast Guests
Have you ever stayed at a B&B? A quick look at the reviews on, say, Trip Advisor and you have as much information as you need. This book is different. It looks at what it is like 'on the other side of the pinny'.It's intention is not to help you choose or run a B&B but to amuse and entertain with an account of the strange and bizarre people or events encountered by David and Irene Hemmings when they opened their door to strangers aka 'guests'. Much of what happened and who turned up could not have been predicted, even by the most fertile imaginations, from the Swedish Mother-in-Law to a variety of bedroom encounters, pausing to look at neighbours, 'Captain Birdseye' and David's incompetence on and in boats.
