Videos & "all sorts a shit"
Enjoy some footage and films I have made with and about Bonito, and his rich and erratic life.
​
Dog Frisk Phenomenon in Cyprus Airports
​On a tangent, Bonito goes into great detail about a strange dog-based phenomenon that the Cypriot Military had inadvertently discovered, when they introduced the official procedure of how to effectively frisk a suspicious dog at customs at Larnaca airport.
Accidental Rural Watch Conspiracy Theory Investigation
Just a little rural investigation by Bonito, during one of his country walks, when he came across a neighbourhood watch sign, and noticed something a little peculiar (well he thought it was peculiar). Though to be fair, the peculiarity in question — that fella’s expression — is really different to the rest…
Top Of The Pops Interning
and Crabbing Cameraman Conflicts
​Bonito has finally recorded some of his re-tellings of his time interning at Top of the Pops through the years. This one is a story from 1984 during the Christmas episode involving ‘Philosophical Synth Pop Artist’ Howard Jones, an altercation with a ‘crabbin cameraman', and Bonito’s conflicted feelings about the antagonist’s future happiness…
Andy Serkis Side Hustle
Bit’a audio from Bonito’s apparent gentle revelation about actor Andy Serkis, and how he’s been challenging himself while he’s still doing his motion capturing….
Bonito's Cash-in-Hand Dabble in the Dark Arts
Some clips from when Bonito has helped me out with my Halloween Specials.*
You’ll get to see him generally dabbling in the dark arts, some behind the scenes interviews for his cash-in-hand necromancy work, and a quick look at Unnecessary, Uncalled for and Excessive Vampiric Activity.
​
* Bonito often helps me with my creative projects, and he's encouraged me to say: if you’re feeling a bit nosy, you can click here to see my personal portfolio of creative work. There is a mix of art, film, music, zines, storytelling and performance.
Cadbury's Flake Faces
Part 1 of my Uncle Bonito’s story about the time he was the face of an 'adventurous' Cadbury’s Flake advertising campaign… for their Cyprus branch, that ultimately got pulled for a variety of reasons that he gets into.
In an upcoming video he explains why it got banned after its first and only airing in Cyprus, when it caused a power surge, knocked out the RAF radar systems and was declared a ‘National Security Risk’.
“But life moves on” as Bonito says.
Bonito's Tangent-Fuelled Listening Party
A clip from Bonito’s listening party thing, where he invites you to listen along to songs and explore bits of music that he likes.
Only thing is, he took ages going on about one of the lyrics from the song 'Girl From Mars' by Ash, and got into his alternative theories about it (all lovely stuff but it took a week just to edit that!)
So we only got about 10 seconds into the song really.
If you're enjoying these videos there's a longer playlist of Bonito videos below:
