Essex artist tracked down for artwork on hit TV show

An 75-year-old artist from Essex has been head-hunted by a hit US TV show to re-create artwork he did in the 1960s.

The television drama Mad Men is a look at the controversial world of a 1960s advertising agency and the producers wanted a promotional poster in his authentic style.

Brian Sanders lives near Saffron Walden and was an advertising illustrator. ITV News Anglia's Stuart Leithes has been to meet him. Click below to watch his report:

Earlier this week, ITV News Anglia reported on the huge pumpkin seed sold for £170

Well, Neil MacGregor from Chelmsford has got in touch with his own version - this time, a giant peach.

This picture shows the fruit he picked from his tree two years ago. He admits it may not be a record breaker but at 1lb 4oz, it's still quite impressive.

All the more so, because the tree was grown from a peach pit that came from a punnet of fruit he bought in Chelmsford market 26 years ago...clearly a good investment.

And most importantly, Neil says the giant peach tasted delicious.
