A Grand Tour of stunt coordination | Stu...

In this episode, Jim Dowdall joins Rhianna and Michael to provide a crash course in stunt coordination. Hear from the man who has worked on more Bond movies than Roger Moore about the daring, dizzying and sometimes downright impossible parts of his job. Jim has been working in the world of stunts since 1972, traversing the lunar surface with Bond and galaxies far, far away with Star Wars. He's worked on Indiana Jones, Bourne, Batman and surprisingly The Vicar of Dibley as well. With almost 50 years of experience, there's no one better to guide us through the potentially dangerous world of stunts.
