Blow by Blow’s new retail DVD, Bygone Lincoln DVD 2, includes a documentary which has been shortlisted in the annual awards of the Institute of Videography .

Lincoln and the Typhoid Epidemic is one of five shortlisted entries for the documentary section of the awards. The winner will be announced at the IOV Show on Wednesday, October 17.

Producer Andrew Blow said: ‘ I am delighted that the documentary has got this far.  Already I know that by reaching the final five it will be highly commended at least.’

Andrew began researching the fascinating story of the 1905 epidemic exactly 100 years after it happened!

He was prompted by access to letters and postcards sent from Lincoln
at the time of the epidemic — an access that came about following the release of another of his productions, Bygone Newark.

Bygone Lincoln DVD2, out in the week beginning September 17th, is the latest in the Bygone Films series begun by Andrew and his associates at Fern Creative in 1993.
