The World According to Parr (BBC1) ... He is a passionate collector of things that are going, going, gone. Everything must have a photograph on it. "I have been collecting wallpaper for 30 years. Concorde wallpaper, ET wallpaper, the Beatles. Once you start it's hard to give up. Ah!" he pounced on a cardboard box, "The Spice Girls ephemera!" He spread his collection of tin trays on the floor and his watches with Saddam Hussein on the face. When he is in London he adds to his collection of prostitutes' cards from phone boxes.}}</ref> Here too, items from his collections have been used as the basis for publications and exhibitions. Since the 1970s, Parr has collected and publicised the garish postcards made between the 1950s and 1970s by John Hinde and his team of photographers.<ref name="sean-ohagan-john-hinde" />
