Ed Foster, creator of Illuminated Films’ hit animated CITV and S4C comedy The Rubbish World of Dave Spud, joins us in conversation with art director Tanya Scott to tell the story of his 16 year journey from student film to directing his own series, and the origins of underdog, unlikely hero and unwitting creator of chaos Dave Spud and his family. With a voice cast featuring Gina Yashere and Johnny Vegas, and animation by Cardiff’s Cloth Cat Animation, the show’s ratings have been far from rubbish since its launch last September, and it’s now in production for its second series.
