“For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to explore America, an ambition fuelled by the legion of TV shows that crossed the Atlantic in the 1960s. As a young and impressionable child, I devoured The Man from Uncle and The Fugitive, but it was the westerns, evoking a landscape utterly removed from the congested English suburbs surrounding me, that I loved most: Bonanza, The High Chaparral, The Virginian and, in particular, Casey Jones. I began a search for the America which lived in my imagination, the one generated during childhood, the one that had probably never existed at all.”
