On the One Show this evening there will be a segment regarding the work of Roger Fenton and his portraiture of Queen Victoria. There will be contributions from renowned photographic historian Roger Taylor, and a demonstration of the wet-plate collodion process by Tony Richards, who recently contributed to the BBC drama series 'The Paradise'.
The One Show begins at 7pm and will be available on the i-player shortly afterwards.
For those interested, Tony has written an interesting blog regarding his experiences working on 'The Paradise' which can be read here

Thanks Alex, there'll be a blog about the One Show also but I didn't really do much. Just quickly showed Jo the presenter how to shoot a plate and then have a go himself. His test plate was really good, shame about his plate that was of his fellow presenters. Just goes to show.... practice, practice and practice some more.
