B-side Stories

Allan Burne's life has been so varied, and he is such a natural storyteller, that we struggled to cover off the basic outline of his achievements in our half hour slot. Allan tells us how rescuing a man from a toilet got him a job with Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson, how a bad strategy to improve his modelmaking led to a PhD in Ecology and Biodiversity, and how he's fulfilling his childhood dream of being an actor.
