From this new base he has continued to produce films, including the popular series "Secrets of Champions". The programs feature some of the world's most successful pigeon racing enthusiasts, including legendary English champion, Frank Tasker who has been a friend and production advisor to Jim since they first worked together on "Marathon in the Sky".
