Ever wondered what the creative process is behind the films, tv shows and theatre productions you watch? Well, crew chats is a new podcast going behind the scenes and chatting to the crew that help make these productions.

Dougie Hawkes studied Illustration and Fine art and worked as a Graphic Designer but having had a lifelong interest in Costume through his father, he began his costume career working at a leading costume house, where he worked on a wide variety of films such as Tess of the d’Ubervilles, TV shows such as Jeeves and Wooster, Agatha Christies Poirot and music promos for the likes of Madness and Duran Duran as a costumier. Dougie later went onto help establish the 20th Century Costume house from its infancy and helped set up the 20th century department at the Angels costume house. Since 2006 he has been working full time as either an assistant designer or crowd supervisor on films such as Aladdin, Rocketman and The Gentlemen.
