My mother, Jessica Skippon, who has died aged 81, was a video producer and director who put her heart and soul into her London neighbourhood of Covent Garden over four decades.
An American by birth, she and her husband, Tom, had moved to the UK in 1978 to establish Skippon Video Associates, one of the UK’s first video production companies. Based in Covent Garden, its output ranged from corporate training and European parliament information bulletins to documentary series such as the American TV series Civilization and the Jews and shooting for a live Pink Floyd – The Wall video at Earls Court.
