Once, Twice, Three Times An Emmy Award Winner - Tim Hands

Old Wheatleyans Drama


While celebrating the recent accolades of Darren Carnall and Fay McConkey, respective 2016 Olivier Award and Oscar winners, it would be very remiss of us to ignore Tim Hands, arguably the most successful Bablake former pupil in the world of drama and performing arts.

Tim, a graduate from the Royal College of Art, is a three time Emmy Award winner for his outstanding work as a dialogue and ADR supervisor on an impressive CV of blockbuster films and TV series. His most recent win was last year for 'Outstanding Sound Editing' on cult TV series Game of Thrones. His work on this series had also won an Emmy in 2012 and received three further nominations, while he received his first Emmy in 2005 for work on movie The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

As well as his outstanding Emmy success, Tim has also won a staggering six Golden Reel Awards in the USA, for Chicken Run, Game of Thrones and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, as well as being nominated a further five times.

Tim fondly recalls Messrs Drury, Jackson and Prescott as key influences from his time at Bablake. He also claims Bablake's worst ever Mock O Level Mathematics result (16%), but expresses immense gratitude for Mr John Drury's ability to coach him successfully through the real examination!

The respect and regard is mutual, as Mr Dave Prescott, former Director of Drama at Bablake, says: "Tim was heavily involved in drama and art, with a keen interest in sport too. He played in bands, 'The Pirates of Panache' I recall, in the old Drama Room, and we cobbled a play together in about 10 days during his final term at Bablake. This play was called 'A Resounding Tinkle', and, in fact, Tim still quotes its lines today! He was also a key player in the Sixth Form reviews we presented. Many will remember 'The Gooseberry Song' fondly!"

Tim is currently finalising work on Season 6 ('the best yet' in his opinion) of the epic Game of Thrones, and tomorrow we will explain more about some of the work he has overseen during his time with this show.
