Tim Hunkin, born in 1950, trained as an engineer but became a cartoonist for The Observer where he drew a strip called ‘The Rudiments of Wisdom‘ for fourteen years, which he later developed into the TV series, ‘The Secret Life of Machines‘. Tim built coin-operated machines intermittently since he was a child and in 2001 he set up his own arcade on Southwold pier called ‘The Under The Pier Show‘.
