Sometimes its really heartwarming to learn about events of the past.
Recently Perry was able to uncover a kind gesture from John back in 2000.
Perry tells us the situation:
We all know it’s been well documented, how John Sullivan got his break at the BBC, and was able to rummage around and find old scripts to use as a basis to learn the craft.
I also kind of gathered over the years that he was always willing to give back in that respect, perhaps even the name Shazam itself leans to that way of thinking, Derren Litten wrote an episode of Green Green Grass and now is hugely successful with Benidorm.
Anyway, I think this is a nice little snapshot of history, John writing to a fan, taking the time to not only send a personal letter, but a copy script and a video to compare with so that this fan could perhaps forge a career just like he did.”
How great is that little story of the great writer John Sullivan!
What a great piece.
