An intimate and deeply personal portrait of Spike Milligan – not only as a comedian but also as a father, a big brother, a deeply troubled and difficult husband and a man who trod the thin line between genius and debilitating depression. Brought to you by Hatchling Productions for the big screen, television and online.
Cathy Henkel is on her way today to Sydney with Spike's eldest daughter, Laura Milligan, to commence production of GOON BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. Later this week, Cathy will be interviewing Laura and Desmond, Spike's brother, and meeting some Woy Woy locals before heading to the UK next weekend for the major part of filming. In the next few days, she will join us on this blog and start posting from the production trail.
I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL is a Hatchling Productions project in association with Film Finance Corporation Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Adelaide Film Festival and the South Australian Film Corporation. Hatchling Productions was formed in 1992 by Cathy Henkel and Jeff Canin to produce documentaries for theatrical release and television, DVDs, online documentaries, educational and training videos and short films. Before GOON, Hatchling produced the award-winning THE MAN WHO STOLE MY MOTHER’S FACE (www.hatchling.com.au/face). Hatchling has teamed up with Kerry Sunderland from Evolve Media to produce www.spikemilliganlegacy.com.
