Neil Baldwin has had such an eventful life, meeting so many amazing people along the way. Who ever he meets he leaves an impression on them, you would not forget meeting Neil Baldwin. Neil was a man tagged at school with the “learning difficulties” who then went on to become a Circus Clown, Lay Preacher, unofficial student greeter at Keele University and Stoke City kit man.
Watch the Trailer here:
The significance of this film is the mention of Neils mother who was a Christadelphian. Neil himself was a firm believer in God as well. It is not very often Christadelphians are mentioned on television, so it was lovely to hear this during the film.
A related article here from the Guardian shows how Neils mother brought him up as a Christadelhpian.
"Baldwins mum was a Christadelphian and brought him up better". - the Guardian in article on BBC2 Marvellous TV film to be shown this week. Guardian article - Marvellous
