Great! no sign of Paul Gorman.

Strange that the biographer was not consulted...and probably no sign of the BBC BB doc on the BB website.




Edit:
There is now well after the horse has bolted:

"Today the rehabilitation of Barney Bubbles’ legacy moved a step further with the BBC Radio 4 broadcast of a half-hour documentary about the personal life of this graphic design master.

I was refused a preview* copy, having been told last summer by the presenter/writer Mark Hodgkinson that I would not be needed as a contributor. No mention was made of my book, exhibition or this blog.

The exclusion of the latter three projects feels clunky even from an objective P.O.V. (as confirmed by a number of supportive messages).

While I am perfectly content^ not to have been involved – not my cup of tea, ’nuff said – I am also extremely chuffed that Bubbles and his legacy have reached another staging post in the journey to widespread appreciation".

*Nobody got a preview copy.

^ I'll be taking bets whilst he is receiving his supportive messages doing the James Brown cape routine.
