Tim Dunn worked at Bekonscot Model Village from the age of 12: he designed its new town, built models, ran the railway and wrote the guidebook. He has rescued at-risk villages from Thorpe Park, Ramsgate and Dudley, and has a 27ft Eiffel Tower in the garden. In his spare time he tracks down and documents long-lost Lilliputs, updates his 'The Model Villager' blog and twitter feed to 9,700 model village lovers and enthusiastically presents eccentrically British TV programmes like BBC Four's 'Trainspotting Live'.
