I could write about the adventures of working on 101 and 102 Dalmatians every day. The most exciting and rewarding experiences. Just fantastic experiences.

101 Dalmatians 2nd Unit started work in 1995 and completed in 1996. We shot for 101 Days

102 Dalmatians 2nd Unit started work in 1999 and completed in 2000. We shot for 102 Days.

Kenny Atherfold was Entertainments Manager for both films and during 102 we would have Supper parties on the last day of the week where we would give out the Crew Weekly awards, watch a show put on by various crew members and not want to go home!! We had awards for The Crew member of the week, The Best Creep of the Week, The Paolo Wanchope Useless Git of the week (awarded for an outstanding act of stupidity). Paolo Wanchope was a gifted footballer who could do amazing things and then fall over his boot lace!

There was the Pink Tutu Most amazing achievement of the week award but the funniest was the Alice Evans “I don’t want to be here anymore award”. This was created after the lovely Alice had had enough of the Stevie Foster and Stevie Roberts attempts at light changes (This was before Dimmer boards). We had tried for about an hour to make it work before Alice had had enough. Funnily enough one of the first winners of the prize was the Unit Toaster which some said was stolen but I think it had had enough of  over 100 people thrusting over sized bread doorstops into it.

The word “legend” is so over used nowadays but Micky Moore represented everything that a legend should be.
