The story was adapted for a popular BBC television series starring Brian Blessed, Hannah Gordon and Darren Redmayne, more recently another BBC film was made starring Eugene Simon, Imelda Staunton and Tamsin Merchant. Many editions of the book have been published throughout the world.
Tony has produced fourteen new paintings using his unique and colourful idiosyncratic style which proved so popular with his Dylan Thomas’ 'Under Milkwood' collection.
In 2009 The Gerald Durrell Wildlife Foundation (GDWF), based in Jersey, hosted a major exhibition of the finished paintings as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations. Many thousands of visitors visited the island for these celebrations.
A film was made of Tony painting his latest picture in his studio at Chilworth, this film accompanied the paintings and was shown at the exhibition. Tony has been interviewed by BBC Jersey Radio in connection with the exhibition.
