Nostalgia Interview with Lawrence Jackson

It was superb to interview Lawrence Jackson, a film practitioner and academic, based at the University of Kent, for this week's interview: https://audioboom.com/posts/7234679-lawrence-jackson.

Lawrence reveals why he relates to the protagonist in 'Mindhorn', how he hated growing up in Guildford, why he played in his own fantasy world as a child in an age of 'Blake's 7' and 'Dr. Who', why he thought he would be murdered if he read a whodunnit, why he loves ELO and the Traveling Wilburys but thinks the Goombay Dance Band's 'Seven Tears' is unspeakably bad, and how he used to write down the charts every Sunday (as you can imagine, this part of the interview got me very excited!). We find out that his family's political and religious ideology isn't really his own and why it was that he was so disappointed when John Major won the 1992 General Election. We also discover why going to boarding school at age 13 was a key experience and we find out whether Lawrence is a looking back or a looking forward type of person.
