Week 3 of the UK shoot

This week we spoke to Richard Lester who made films with Spike in the 50s and 60s. Their first film was called THE RUNNING, JUMPING, STANDING STILL FILM. It featured Spike and Peter Sellers and was nominated for an Academy Award. Richard told us that it was because of his work with Spike that the Beatles trusted him to make their first film: A HARD DAY'S NIGHT . He also directed Spike in THE THREE MUSKETEERS, where he played Raquel Welch's husband. Richard had some great stories to tell and paid tribute to Spike as one of the two people who have inspired him the most in his life - the other was John Lennon.
We also went to Rye this week and filmed Jane visiting her father's grave and talking about some of the difficulties she has experienced since her father died.
