    Try You Tube. If you cannot find anything there you should ask at your local library.

    You should also try the BBC, RTE and TG4.

    There are definately stills of him and extensive documentaries available online.

    I think I'll go the library\archives route, there isn't anything on Youtube.

    There is an excellent BBC documentary that was produced by Peter Taylor, it is generally airing at the moment, I watched it on BBC NI last week. I am living in the south so can't get access to the BBC player coverage. I am sure it could be getting a repeat soon enough. It is worth a look, it is only 90 mins or so and breezes over a lot , but worth a look.

    If anyone has access to BBC interviews from Long Kesh it would be Peter Taylor.

    I doubt it OP. He wasn't a major party figure before imprisonment AFAIK. I don't reckon any interviews would have been permitted during his incarceration.

    Yep, and anything that did get out was most likely ghost written by the Provo propaganda department.

    Was he the guy due to have his own cooking show on TV? Bobby’s Country Kitchen or something like that?

    No it's the lad who was the weight watchers champion in 1981. This was before reality TV so it didn't go as viral as it would these days. Just a few lads painted his faces on the walls of council estates in Derry and Belfast.
