Greenaway's profile of one of Savile Row’s best regarded tailoring establishments, Kilgour, French & Stanbury, placing Britain at the helm of cutting-edge style. The brand became synonymous with the world’s best dressed men including Cary Grant and Fred Astaire and, into the 21st century, Jude Law and Daniel Craig. Tommy Nutter, Kilgour's newly-appointed creative director, offers insight into how he achieves the perfect balance between conformity and change.

At the age of 18, stunt cyclist Eddie Kidd had already broken world records, been a stunt double for Harrison Ford and released a couple of singles. Yet this profile piece for the COI cinemagazine series “This Week in Britain” offers glimpses that his high life had both its ups and downs. A record-breaking jump of 24 cars was to be the big attraction of a May bank holiday at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu but torrential rain scuppered plans. Kidd returned on the 4th June for a second attempt but with a shoulder injury that you see aggravated here, which prevented a planned second jump and again disappointed audiences. The person tasked with turning all these travails into a light-hearted snippet for overseas audiences was Peter Greenaway, who edited hundreds of stories like this before making arthouse feature hits such as The Draughtman’s Contract (1982).
