Dad giving it maximum smoulder aged 18 as a newly commissioned subaltern in the Royal Artillery, 1942.

Dad took this picture of me, aged two, standing on a wall overlooking the Grand Canyon in 1971. Mum still can’t look at it.

The Buxton family c. 1981. Left to right: David, Nigel (worried that the photographer is aiming too low), Adam, Valerie and Clare.

Dad took this one of me walking into Yard at Westminster in 1984. I was too embarrassed to stop and pose so I’m a bit blurry, and then the picture was accidentally double-exposed with a sunset. Sorry.

Joe, A. Buckles and Mark Sainsbury (in the background), catching up on Cahiers du Cinéma in a Paris photo booth, 1988.

‘Yup, we’re holding one of the most important films of the twentieth century.’ Adam and Joe with Twitch, 1986.

Halloween party at Joe’s house, 1986. Left to right: Louis Theroux as Hat Ghost; Joe Cornish as Count Gas Mask; Mark Sainsbury as Video Nasty (with VHS tape and bandages); Ben Walden said he was Freddy Krueger, and we never got to the bottom of what Guy Gadney was supposed to be. I was taking the picture dressed as a cool vampire, I think. There were no other guests.

A page from my 1987 diary, featuring a newspaper picture from one of the ‘Toff Balls’ fashionable at the time, a drawing of my history teacher warning me that I was going to screw up my exams (which I did) and me and Joe posing in the photo booth at St James’s Park Tube station.

Me and school friend Zac Sandler buried beneath some of his favourite records and comics. Taken by Joe after seeing Do the Right Thing in 1989.

Behind the bar, London, 1989. If only I still had that shirt.

Aged 25 in my Clapham bedroom/second-hand tech dungeon after leaving art school in 1994. I’m saying, ‘Mum! Can you not take pictures of me while I’m making experimental video pieces for Takeover TV?’

Me, Joe and Louis in 1995, aged around 26, enjoying our traditional Christmas Eve get-together at my parents’ place in Clapham.

Me and Cornballs in 1999 (aged 30) doing press for the third series of The Adam and Joe Show.

My Teletubbies-themed TX card for series two of The Adam and Joe Show in 1997.

Me and Dad in the front room in Clapham doing a photoshoot for The Times newspaper’s Relative Values feature in 1998. Dad was always a good sport in these situations.
