The documentary film-maker, journalist and author Gavin Weightman, who has died aged 77 after a long-term illness, was one of a number of talented young programme-makers who were recruited in the late 1970s and early 80s to work in the current affairs and features departments of London Weekend Television. As producer and director, Weightman’s outstanding contribution was The Making of Modern London (1983-85), a long-running series that documented the social history of the capital from 1815 to the then present day. What made it stand out was its extensive use of living memory to drive the narrative. Since then, testimony or oral history has become a common feature in documentary TV film-making.

The first series, Heart of the Empire, covered the London of Dickens, Queen Victoria and the Edwardians. In one episode, a 90-year-old Lady Charlotte Bonham Carter recalled the terrible mess horse-drawn traffic made in London’s streets, and how she suffered the indignity of wading through rain-soaked manure to attend a lunch at St James’s Palace. By contrast, Eastender Ted Harrison remembered family “holidays” spent hop-picking in Kent, leaving home at midnight to be there on time. The programmes used extensive archive film, often unearthing unseen footage, innovative rostrum camera work and specially written music to bring each individual memory to life.

Born in Gosforth, Northumberland, Gavin was the son of Doreen (nee Wade), a teacher and translator, and John Weightman, a broadcaster and later professor of French. During the war, John had been the only non-French newsreader for the BBC French Service. The bulletins he delivered sometimes carried coded messages and he often transmitted from the same studios as Charles de Gaulle. Gavin’s love of French food, wine and culture was passed on through his parents. The family lived in West Hampstead, London, but, spending summers near the Northumberland hills, Gavin also learned to love the outdoors and appreciate wildlife.

At primary school Gavin was captain of football and cricket. His secondary education began with a scholarship to Haberdashers’ boys school, Hertfordshire. By all accounts he did not thrive there and left aged 17 to begin a career as a journalist on local papers – first a stint on the Brighton and Evening Argus and then the Richmond and Twickenham Times (or the “Ricky-Twicky Times” as he fondly called it). Half a dozen reporters and editors would be crammed together in a tiny newsroom, all hammering away on 30s-era typewriters amid a dense fug of cigarette smoke. Standing out was Gavin, a tall and decidedly crumpled figure. His old friend the Canadian Broadcasting journalist Brian Stewart recalled Gavin “pouring out copy with ease, offering advice to everyone else on their writing and generally keeping everyone in stitches with gossip”.

After five years on local papers, in 1967 he began a degree course in sociology as a mature student at Bedford College, London University, where he developed a keen interest in social and economic history, especially the Industrial Revolution.

On graduation he spent time working for a newspaper group, writing for local papers. In 1974 he joined the staff of New Society magazine, writing features on a huge range of subjects. He was simply interested in everything – from Industrial Revolution housing to nudist camps in the postwar era and even the history of poaching.

While there, he happened to answer the phone to somebody from LWT current affairs calling to invite another journalist to apply for a job. Gavin took the message, then said, can I apply? He did and got the job, as reporter on The London Programme (1978-82), then, for a year, as its presenter. I was working there as a reporter at the time, and he and I became great friends. His voice was perfect for narration, but getting a man accustomed to a crumpled look to trade up to the suit and tie then required of presenters was always going to be an uphill struggle. What is more, by his own admission, Gavin never really mastered the technique of being able to walk and talk at the same time – another essential for being on screen.

After a brief spell on The Six O’ Clock Show, he gradually devoted more of his time to producing and directing films for the features department. His interest in social history made him the ideal choice to produce, direct and narrate not only the first 12 films of the Making of Modern London series (1983-84) but subsequently two wildlife series – City Safari (1986) and Brave New Wilderness (1990) – and a series on the history of the River Thames (1990), all of which had accompanying books.

When Gavin left LWT in 1991 to set up his own production company, he made more social history programmes for Channel 4, but increasingly concentrated on writing. He wrote more than 20 books ranging from Signor Marconi’s Magic Box (2003) to The Industrial Revolutionaries (2007). His most successful, The Frozen Water Trade (2003), told the history of exporting ice around the world from a frozen Massachusetts lake. It was serialised on Radio 4.

To his many friends Gavin was great company, loved for his ready wit and easy charm. Many a meal round his kitchen table ended with him playing a mean blues on his vintage Gibson guitar.

Gavin’s first marriage, to Myra Wilkins, ended in divorce. He is survived by his second wife, Clare Beaton, a children’s author and illustrator, whom he married in 2009 after a long-term partnership, their son, Tom, his children, Lucie and Ben, from his first marriage, two stepchildren, Jack and Kate, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and his sister, Jane.

Hello, there. I’m a Venezuelan-American immigrant based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, right in the heart of Grand Teton National Park, on Shoshone-Bannock, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne land. I live here with my spouse and our three rambunctious kittens, and we enjoy traveling and visiting national parks, historic sites, landmarks, and museums across the country.

I’m also a photographer, specializing in black & white wildlife and landscape photography in and around Grand Teton National Park and other national parks. I publish my photography on my website, All-Encompassing Trip.

In 2021, my photograph titled Close Encounter at Antelope Flats was chosen as one of four highly commended photos in London’s Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year, People’s Choice Awards. I’ve also been featured in the BBC, the Jackson Hole News & Guide, Jackson Hole Magazine, and the May 2021 issue of GEO Magazine.

I strive to minimize the environmental impact of my work by considering the potential ecological ramifications of publishing my photos, and of the equipment, processes, and techniques I use to make them. I follow Leave No Trace principles at all times, abide by all applicable laws and regulations for the locations and parks I visit, and avoid, to the best of my abilities, causing any damage to natural and cultural resources. All my wildlife photography is made in the wild, without baiting, and attempting to disrupt my subjects as little as possible, without engaging in behaviors that endanger them, myself, or others.

@rememberingwildlife #RememberingBears Book Launch Update “We're thrilled that renowned nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen @thomasdmangelsen has agreed to travel to London to appear in person at our launch of Remembering Bears on 13th October (five weeks to go!). Tom has traveled throughout the natural world for nearly 40 years observing and photographing the earth’s last great wild places and is one of the world's best known photographers of bears. Tom is a critically acclaimed photographer whose honors include being named Conservation Photographer of the Year by Nature’s Best Photography, the BBC’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year by NANPA, one of the 100 Most Important People in Photography by American Photo magazine, and one of the 40 Most Influential Nature Photographers by Outdoor Photography. He also made news in 2018 when he successfully bid for a bear permit to 'shoot' grizzlies and instead pledged to use it to take photographs instead. Tom's portfolio of bear images and history of working with them is unmatched and we can't wait to hear what he has to say on the night and to share in his passion for bears. Link to tickets (including virtual tickets for those who can’t make it in person) in our bio. We hope to see you there! https://mailchi.mp/rememberingwildlife/remembering-bears-event-ticket-launch #rememberingwildlife #rememberingbooks #conservationphotography #wildography (at RGS-IBG Social and Cultural Geography Research Group) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiM2bLpAtd6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Book/Photographer research #3

Tim Laman is a highly accomplished field biologist, wildlife photojournalist, and filmmaker. He obtained his Ph.D. from Harvard University, where he conducted groundbreaking research in the rainforest canopy of Borneo. Tim's passion for storytelling and conservation led him to utilize his cameras as powerful tools to document and raise awareness about rare and endangered wildlife, as well as some of the most remote and untamed places on our planet. With extensive experience photographing on all seven continents, Tim regularly embarks on expeditions to explore and document poorly understood species in extreme environments, ranging from the rainforest canopy in Borneo to the coral reefs of Papua, and from the mountain peaks of New Guinea to the seas of Antarctica. His notable contributions include long-term studies on birds-of-paradise and orangutans.

Tim's work has been widely recognized and celebrated. He has published 23 feature stories in National Geographic magazine and has contributed to films for prestigious organizations such as National Geographic Channel, BBC, and Netflix. Notably, his involvement in the BBC's "Planet Earth II" and "Seven Worlds – One Planet," as well as Netflix's "Our Planet – Jungles," which received an Emmy nomination for Best Cinematography in 2019, showcases his exceptional filmmaking skills. Tim's achievements have earned him numerous awards, including the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year overall prize in 2016, as well as multiple winning images in the same competition over the years. He has also been honored with a 1st place Nature Story from World Press Photo and the title of "Nature Photographer of the Year" by the North American Nature Photography Association.In addition to his remarkable accomplishments, Tim is a fellow of the Explorer's Club and the International League of Conservation Photographers. He holds an associate position in the Ornithology Department at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology and is a co-founder of the Birds-of-Paradise Project at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Tim's dedication to his craft and his commitment to conservation make him an esteemed figure in the field of wildlife photography and filmmaking.

I was unable to read a specific book by Tim, but I did have the opportunity to browse through his gallery and view the images he incorporates into his work. As someone who has always had an interest in nature, I quickly became a fan of Tim's work. He not only captures stunning landscapes, but also utilizes his scientific background to photograph animals in their natural habitats. This includes capturing moments such as hunting or scavenging for food, mating calls or dances, and mother animals with their offspring. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Tim Laman and his background, and I hope to one day have the chance to see some of his work in one of his books.
