SLAPSTICK
It was a huge shock to the WAM community when Bill Shipton of Splosh fame suddenly passed away on 5th July 2013 at the age of 57.
His original Forum site has now been replaced by http://www.sploshuk.co.uk.
But very few contribute and it is a pale shadow of what went before.
WSM will continue to remember Bill each year even if most forget.

WSM TRIBUTE to BILL SHIPTON
I (Mike Ellison) first met Bill under his true name of Clive Harris in 1983.
He was the presenter of a custard pie caper held at a venue near Hammersmith, London.
I believe I still have some pics somewhere among my large library of slides.
I next remember meeting him a year or two later, this time hosting a mud wrestling event on the 1st floor of a pub also down London’s West End (cameras banned!).

As a freelance writer, he had many fingers in many pies, but was a dynamic, yet irreverent, innovator.

I next met Clive (now renamed as Bill Shipton ) 11th March 1989 at the 1st Aquantics Convention held at the Harbour Heights Hotel (now converted to flats!) in Tenby.
Bill had decided to launch a wet and messy magazine under the name of ‘Splosh’.
WSM girls Carol and Debbie provided the ‘splosh’ entertainment that time (see image set S058).
Bill formed a good working relationship with Shaun Kendall (the WSM film editor) and they went on to make the ‘Buff’ range of videos.
Bill’s writing and comic skills were well apparent, so WSM signed him up as our script-writer and Bill produced the scripts for the WSM Vintage Films numbers 3 to 9.
In fact, it was better than that, as Bill was only too happy to show his versatility by taking a number of roles in the videos. So Bill had real ‘hands-on’ experience in the 90’s.

Bill’s 1st issue of Splosh magazine was shot in the basement of the Harbour Heights Hotel.
WSM assisted Bill by supplying much material for issues 2 through to 11.
There were 40 issues of Splosh.
But Bill realized at the end of the 90’s that a new phenomena was changing the world.
So the internet made magazine production too costly as sales fell away.

The introduction of a studio and a devoted ‘Splosh’ website changed Bill’s direction.
But new technology is a curse and Bill struggled to master all the aspects of video production.

I last met Bill in 1999 when we completed Vintage Film 9.
Since then we had many a phone conversation which always ended in the same manner….laughter!
We ended up as two captains in the worldwide sea of WAM, me on the container ship WSM with weekly drop-offs.
Bill had his cruise ship SPLOSH. Everyone was welcome to sit at the Captain’s table and Bill was recognized as the talented, witty comic genius he was and great company to be with!

The magazine and latterly website, brought many different people together as a community.
Bill had a huge influence on many lives and his term Splosh entered our language.
I would think the NHS owe him a huge thanks for reducing their therapy costs!
Latterly, life was a struggle for him as he showed devoted care to his elderly parents.
But we all know that he cared very deeply for his Splosh family.
He was the kindly, caring, compassionate, yet always willing to be amusing, face of WAM.

So a legend has departed! May he rest in peace!
Few people have such a legacy to have been loved by all.

But the greatest sadness is that his work does not live on as a single body.
This is a great warning for all WAM producers.
I have duly taken heed and ensured that the movies and images of WSM will live on.

WSM have put together a 9 minute Download Tribute so you can see the real Bill Shipton.
Our current film editor freely gave his time to output this, such was his respect for one of the grandfathers of WAM.
These Clips owe much to the former WSM film editor Shaun Kendall, a good friend of Bill.
So, watch genius at work:
