- Save Gibb Tor (6 mins) Byron Machin?s first ever documentary; a video presented at a public meeting organised to discuss the future of the forest at Gibb Tor in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
- The Wildlife of Longsdon (12 mins) A short film highlighting the wildlife and plants found alongside the old railway and canal at Longsdon, Staffordshire. This short was recorded a month before the main film and features natural sound recordings.
Reviews of the original version: "Byron infectious enthusiasm will take you on a fantastic journey into the Peak District's Distant Past" Peak Advertiser
"Byron Machin who hails from Leek, has added to his considerable store of knowledge of the Peak District and now almost single handily produced this brand new video ... an obvious labour of love." - Leek Post & Times
