I
couldn't resist adding my award-winning radio commercials for the sadly defunct Pan American World Airways (PanAm) - one of the world's most iconic airlines and a delightful client.
I worked on their Fly-Drive campaign writing and producing the 'Escape from Coldbits' series borrowing heavily them the BBC's 'It Ain't Half Hot' comedy TV series – including members of the cast.
The next campaign was the 'Radio Station' series. With free flights to any PanAm destination, it was cheaper to produce these commercials for real at the actual radio stations across America, than record them in a studio in London.
They were a commercial and critical (award winning) series that continued for three years.
I was even lucky enough to record the legendary DJ 'Wolfman' Jack of American Graffiti fame, in his Los Angeles lair.
I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed making them.
