[citation needed] Chasing the Deer was followed by The Bruce starring Oliver Reed, another Scottish historical epic which was released to cinemas in 1996.
[6] Away from the mainstream cinema Carruthers also made low-budget films, producing and directing Steel Tempest, Zombie Driftwood and Wraith Rovers as examples of what can be achieved on tiny budgets.
Documentaries and concert films produced in this period include Jethro Tull, Wishbone Ash and Jack Bruce.
In 2015 Anglo Atlantic Media Limited, of whom Carruthers was formerly a director,[1] unlawfully trademarked the name of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.
The attempted trademark was finally cancelled on 9 April 2020, after Carruthers lost a case against the band members, both surviving and dead.
