The Tortoises are back at school this week as they visit the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield. Here, head of the (Producing and Directing) Science and Natural History MA Peter Leonard talks about the film that opened his eyes to science filmmaking, the 1986 Equinox episode Prisoner of Consciousness. As well as dissecting this remarkable and affecting film, we also talk about videotape, working for Auntie and the wonders of concrete. We’re nothing if not eclectic.
