  • DISCOVER SHARE REMEMBER Bb C.Co.Uk/Rememb Ranc E
    DISCOVER SHARE REMEMBER bb c.co.uk/rememb ranc e Schools Section Introduction Written by John Sandham, history teacher, Devon “In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. bb c.co.uk/rememb ranc e We are the dead…” On 28 January 1918, Lieutenant-Colonel John McRae, succumbing to pneumonia and meningitis, joined those comrades he had been remembering in the above poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’. When World War One ended in November 1918, the casualties stood at some 37 million and over 10 million were dead. This ‘War to end all wars’ did not end wars; the years following 1918 have been littered with them, including the Second World War, where advances in the technology deployed in World War One meant the casualties far exceeded those of the First World War and brought millions of civilians into the death count. The 90th anniversary of the Armistice takes place on 11 November. This will be an occasion for the world to remind itself of the futility of war, but also to remember those who lost their lives in WW1 and subsequent wars. The BBC is launching the Remembrance campaign to commemorate those who served and to bring to life the nature of that time. This will inform us about WW1 and the personal stories of individuals who fought and often died in the war and the families they left behind who held onto their personal effects.

  • Simon Davies Scriptwriter Biography
    Simon Davies Scriptwriter Biography Originally from Cardiff, Simon graduated from The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in 1983. He moved to London to perform stand-up comedy and in 1985 got an opportunity to work with the BBC Children’s programmes, presenting several series including Playschool, Corners and Playdays. During this time Simon developed an interest in scriptwriting, initially contributing sketches, stories and songs, but by 1991 developing and writing 2 full series of Melvin and Maureen’s Musicograms, a musical edutainment for Children’s BBC. In 1994, he devised and wrote Children’s BAFTA nominated comedy-drama, Monster Café, before regularly contributing scripts to Sick as a Parrot (Quiz-show), Superbods (edutainment) and 1,2,3,4,5! (Radio 5). Throughout the 90’s Simon was a regular scriptwriter for BBC and Channel 4 Schools programmes; including several series of Megamaths, Maths Man, Maths Challenge for the BBC and Maths Mansion, Tales from Wales and Jack and the Beanstalk for Channel 4. In 2000, he was invited to develop and script Kids Room 2K, an interactive CGI area at The Millennium Dome - he also wrote a younger children’s rhyming book Pucker Up, Buttercup! published by Pipbrook Mill. As children’s TV output went digital, Simon started working for CBeeBies and CBBC, writing for pre-school series Fimbles, Tikkabilla, Story Makers and the Children’s BAFTA winning series Boogie Beebies. More recently he’s contributed scripts for Nuzzle and Scratch, Kerwhizz, Show-Me Show-Me and Mr Bloom’s Nursery. The last few years has seen an interest from children’s animation producers and Simon has been lucky enough to work on classic children’s series Bob the Builder (Channel 5/Hit Ent.) and Go Jetters (CBeeBies/BBC Worldwide) as well as writing for the puppet-led Sesame Street/BBC co-production The Furchester Hotel.
