Colin is comfortable working with well-known presenters.  He and Mark Williams enjoyed making musket balls as they sat in our dining room by the fire; and these were later used during the live firing for an episode of ‘Mark Williams Big Bang’ with Granite Productions.

Colin has worked with Windfall Films on a variety of different projects.  He has bounced cannonballs across water for ‘Dambusters’, had guns cast, proofing them and demonstrating their destructive capacity for ‘The Day the World took off’ and took one of his suits of Medieval Armour to London for an episode for a Royal Institute Christmas Lecture.  

In December 2000, Colin helped presenter Kevin Warwick (Professor of Cybernetics at Reading  University) demonstrate the quality of

armour and how it had inspired the making of the first prosthetic arm of the 17th century.

In 2004, Colin worked with Robert Llewellyn as the Judge for the Burning Missiles Episode of ‘Scrap Heap Challenge’ for R.D.F. Media, Channel 4.

For Ancient Discoveries with Wild Dream Films, Colin and his guns appeared in several episodes.  He was asked to experiment with an ancient mixture to make ‘tracer cannonballs’ that could be shot and seen at night.  He used the Ribauldaquin to demonstrate its devastating power against foot soldiers and established the power of a single shot as it passed easily through several sides of pork.
