Jon Sandys

After starting a "movie mistakes" website as a hobby while studying at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford in 1996, the site slowly gained in popularity throughout his time at Southampton University, meaning that when he graduated he considered running the website almost full time. A major break came a few months after graduation, in April 2001, when the producers of _"The Big Breakfast" (1992)_ asked him to appear on the show talking about mistakes in Gladiator (2000). The item was a great success, and he was invited back the following week, turning "Movie Mistakes" into a regular item which ran for a year, until the end of the show in April 2002. The website is still growing in popularity, with the release of the first "Lord of the Rings" film resulting in 57,000 people visiting the site in one day. A Movie Mistakes book has now been released, and with a TV show now commissioned, Jon's work continues to hold the public's attention.
