  • 'The Great British Bake Off'
    TEXT A is an infographic offering details about ‘The Great British Bake Off’. TEXT B is a page from the official website of Mary Berry, a British celebrity cook. TEXT C is a feature page from ‘It’s Nice That’, a creative inspiration website. Illustration: We interview the artist behind the Great British Bake Off, Tom Hovey Words by Liv Siddall, Friday 01 November 2013 If, like me, your frown’s been upside down ever since the last episode of middle class cat-nip The Great British Bake Off drew to a sunshine-infused close, then DO NOT FEAR! Here we have Tom Hovey, a very talented freelance illustrator, animator and the artist behind those trademark Bake Off illustrations. Tom’s very kindly answered some questions for us today, so without further ado, ready, steady bake! Tell us in a line or two what you do and why you enjoy it I’m an illustrator and animator. I draw everything from blue neon unicorns to Mary Berry’s buns. How did you land the job for The Great British Bake Off? Serendipity I guess. I moved to London in 2009 with no job lined up and only a few illustration gigs to pay the bills. A mate got me a job working in the edit on a new amateur baking competition for BBC2. I was in the edit suite with the editor and series director when they were discussing adding animated illustrations to the show. I pitched for it and got the gig, four years later I’m still doing it! What was the brief like? The brief was simply to echo the homely and nostalgic aesthetic of the show.

  • This Winter the Lyric Welcomes Back Some of Its Most Popular And
    PRESS RELEASE Wednesday 12 September 2018 FULL CASTING ANNOUNCED FOR THE LYRIC HAMMERSMITH’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY PANTOMIME DICK WHITTINGTON AND OTHER FESTIVE EVENTS • Casting announced for Dick Whittington, the Lyric Hammersmith’s 10th year producing pantomimes. • Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas also returns to the Lyric Hammersmith’s intimate and newly refurbished Lyric Studio. DICK WHITTINGTON Written by Jude Christian and Cariad Lloyd Directed by Jude Christian A Lyric Hammersmith production Saturday 17 November 2018 – Sunday 06 January 2019 Press Performance: Saturday 24 November 2018 The Lyric Hammersmith today announces the full cast for Dick Whittington, its 10th anniversary pantomime, which will be getting the full Lyric treatment. You can expect the usual mix of live music, crazy characters, awesome adventure, singing, dancing, villainous baddies and heroic goodies with a little bit of feline flavour chucked in for good measure. The Lyric pantomime began its life in 2009 with Jack and the Beanstalk as part of Sean’s first season as Artistic Director. With its very first panto, written by Richard Bean, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, Joel Horwood, Ché Walker and directed by Steve Marmion, with Stephen Fry as the voice of the giant - the Lyric firmly put Hammersmith on the London panto map with flying carpets, singing cows and dancing rats. Mel Giedroyc, Vikki Stone and Stevie Webb have all joined the Lyric’s pantomime over the years to sing ‘Glory Glory Hammersmith’. The pantomime has launched many new careers through the Panto Ensemble, a group of young performers given training and the experience of taking to the stage to perform, many in their first paid professional roles.
