We’d particularly like to thank Matthew Dyas and Stephen Cooter for sticking with it and producing such beautifully crafted and thoughtful films. They were supported by a hugely talented team who have grappled week after week with the demands of production on this scale. So a very big thank you to Alex Ranken, Alice Jones, Suzy Boyles, Duncan Singh, Helene Ganichaud, Mags Lightbody, Francesca Bassett, Emma Chapman, Louisa Reid, Robert Hanger, Wendy Clarke, Laura Stevens, Rebecca Hickie, Nik Sopwith, Simon de Glanville, Julius Brighton, Tim Cragg, Paul O’Callaghan, Graeme Dawson, Adam Finch, Lee Sutton, Damien Sung, Andy Paddon, Paul Thompson, Benji Merrison, Vicky Edgar and Marie O’Donnell.
We’d also like to add a particular thanks to Darren Jonusus who has once again set new standards of craft and creativity in the edit.
Also a huge thank you to Laura Davey the Production Executive of BBC Science who has seen this production through many difficult days in her usual calm and supportive manner.
We’d also like to thank Professor Jeff Forshaw and Professor Matt Cobb for the generous time and thought they have given to the project.
The team at HarperCollins have once again shown their patience and brilliance in equal measure. Holding their nerve in the face of daunting deadlines and a book without words, they have delivered these beautiful pages seemingly overnight. We’d like to thank Zoë Bather, Julia Koppitz, Helena Caldon, Madeleine Penny and of course the very brilliant Myles Archibald (who must spend less time in the dentist’s waiting room).
Andrew would like to thank Anna…again…for her love, support and patience through the many late nights.
I would like to thank The University of Manchester and The Royal Society for allowing me the time to make Forces of Nature. I would also like to thank Sue Rider, my endlessly wise and supportive agent and friend.
