Film Club Sky 328 MAY Newsletter Freesat 306 JUNE 2019 Virgin 445 Freeview 81 Film Club Sky 328 MAY newsletter Freesat 306 JUNE 2019 Virgin 445 Dear Supporters of Talking Pictures TV & Renown Pictures, This month we release our first Talking Pictures With… DVD – a 3 disc box set packed with interviews from stars we all know and love. It includes the full interview with dear Liz Fraser who we greatly miss and of course the Remembering interviews with the family of John Gregson and the son of Sam Kydd – Jonathan Kydd. Just £20 for the entire collection and as many of you have asked us to put these interviews on disc to be enjoyed at home (with no advert breaks!), I do hope it will be well received. It’s a chance for those of you who can’t attend our festivals to see the on-stage interviews. Talking of festivals – we visited the beautiful Stockport Plaza again last week. It really is a sight to behold, see the images above and on the right. We are down to our last few tickets so please do get yours quick to avoid disappointment. We stayed at the Travelodge opposite the Plaza which is a 4 minute walk away. It was very pleasant and affordable and only a 5 minute walk from the station. More details on pages 20-21. Ted, the Manager of The Plaza, gave us a complete tour including Ken Dodds’ dressing room, the 1940s tearooms and the projectionist’s room – it was like stepping back in time! We hope to project our films from the original 35mm or 16mm. We also saw the Compton organ and booked it to play before the main feature. We also had a hunt through the Pathé news reels available to us to project and we’ve measured up for a large number of stall holders who will be at the back of the Stalls. For those who may have disabilities there is a blue badge parking bay at the front of the cinema, lift to the second floor and ramps inside. Sunday 6th October folks – we can’t wait to meet you all! Some Freeview viewers among you may have experienced some disruption to Talking Pictures TV due to the Freeview transmitter changes – if you need any technical help and support please call the free helpline set up by Freeview and Digital UK on 0808 100 0288. They have a whole team waiting to help you. There are some ‘reel’ delights on the channel over the next few weeks! Including Clockwise with John Cleese, and Shadows, a series of spine-tingling tales for children produced from 1975-1978 which featured fantastic ensemble casts including: John Nettleton, Gareth Thomas, Pauline Quirke, Brian Glover, June Brown, Rachel Herbert, Jacqueline Pearce and Jenny Agutter. Also the unmissable The Go Between with Julie Christie and Alan Bates and many more – see pages 26-27 for a full list. We’ll Meet Again with Vera Lynn will show on Thursday 6th June at 18:30 in tribute to the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Also more films with subtitles – do see the list on page 25. Some excellent offers for you this month, with a crime and spy theme running through this issue. All still with FREE UK POSTAGE. We are devoting a whole day to the memory of Stanley Baker on the anniversary of the day we lost him in 1976, Friday June 28th. Highlights will include an exclusive interview with Stanley’s son Glyn, plus the première of a new film: Just William’s Luck (1948) and a selection of films in which he featured. I had a great dialogue via email with Jim Dale last week; he was so excited to see we are airing Georgy Girl at the moment – you may not know, he wrote the song! He lives in the USA now but gets lots of emails from fans of Talking Pictures TV. We hope to be able to interview Jim when he’s next in the country. Finally, the sad news…”Set ‘Em Up Joe” so we can all raise a glass to the life of dear Doris Day, a great loss, but what a life! We have a tribute to her on page 23. Keep on spreading the word and enjoying the films, hope you find something of interest over the following pages. Until next month ...

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the copyright owner ISBN 07139 12790 jj Printed in Great Britain by f Thomson Litho Ltd, East Kilbride, Scotland J For Barbara and Daniel AUTHOR'S NOTE This book has grown out of the 16,000 pages of documents that the CIA released to me under the Freedom of Information Act. Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.
