All Lewis did was freeze, petrified, like a frightened stag at the dawn of photography.

His ruddiness, his sparkling eyes, his animated personality were not captured on the film.

Only a death mask stillness.

This is Pints for Jack, Season 5, Episode 7.

Lights, Camera Jack. After Hours with Norman Stone.

Good morning, everyone. Pints for Jack is your weekly CS Lois podcast, where three friends, Andrew, David and Matt, break down and discuss the works of CS Lewis. This season, we're talking about love, slowly working our way through the four loves by C.S. Lewis. This season, we're talking about love,

slowly working our way through the four loves by C.S. Lewis. But today is a Thursday and an After Hours episode. The quotation at the beginning of this episode comes from biographer William Griffin,

describing the impossibility of capturing Lewis on film. Well, in today's After Hours episode, we'll be speaking to a man

who has spent his career pretty much doing just that. Today we're talking to writer,

director, producer, Norman Stone. Norman Stone has a master's in film and television from

London's Royal College of Art, and he's the head of 1A productions. He has worked with many of the

finest names in the acting and

filmmaking worlds, creating a wide range of productions, from top-class television dramas, series and

documentaries, to music videos and big-screen movies. Mr. Stone has won many awards. He is a double

BAFTA and Emmy Award winner, most notably, at least as far as we're concerned, for his work on the 1986 version

of Shadowlands, a movie which tells the story of C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman. Throughout his career,

he has worked on several other Lewis-related projects, namely Beyond Narnia, the Narnia Code,

and most recently, the movie starring Nicholas Ralph and Max McLean, the Most Reluctant Convert.

Norman Stone, all away from Great Britain. Welcome to Pints for Jack.

I'm very happy to be here. Where's the pint?

It's in the mail.

Sounds messy.
