Default Blowup (1966): is there a documentary being made?
Hi all,

Was recently on my latest photoshoot of Blowup locations and the owner of 'El Blason' - the restaurant that David Hemmings' character meets Ron (Peter Bowles) at - told me that Joanna Lumley had been in recently with a film crew to make a documentary. Now I may have lost in translation what the owner was saying (he's Spanish) but I'm sure it was to do with the film and not just a restaurant review!

Could anyone put me straight as to how I might find out more? For instance, does anyone have contact details for Joanna's agent perhaps? Or has anyone heard whisperings about this elsewhere?

I'm particularly interested as I've got loads of 'now' photos of the locations with stills of the film to compare them to, and I'm just mad about the film.

Regards, Ian.

The BBC broadcast a documentary a while ago called 'Fame, Fashion and Photography:The Real Blow Up' which featured a long section about the film and included interviews with most of the people involved.

Thanks for that Batman.

I was aware of it, but I think it was made in about 2002/3 (certainly before David Hemmings' death at the end of 2003).

My enquiry is more recent - end of 2006 onwards.

Whilst on the subject does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of this programme, or, better still, does anyone have a copy of it? I keep missing it on TV and would really like to see it.
