Who Is Kurt Wallander? Monday 5 December at 21.30 Highlights | December 2011 For further information and images, please contact: UK: Nick Myles Editorial Coordinator BBC Worldwide Channels E-mail: [email protected] Tel.: +44 20 8433 2000 Produced by EBS New Media www.ebs.tv + 44 1462 895 999 Editorial Manager: Paul Talbot [email protected] December 2011 Highlights Who is Kurt Wallander? Monday 5 December at 21.30 Presented by British crime writer John Harvey, this film looks at the publishing phenomenon that is best-selling author Henning Mankell. Following Mankell as he divides his time between Sweden and the Mozambique capital of Maputo where he lives with his wife, the film looks at his work and his beliefs. Kurt Wallander is very different to traditional tough-guy cops. He responds to danger with stooped shoulders and an overwhelming sense that it‟s more than he can handle. But there is more to Mankell‟s work than police procedurals. Mankell explains how he‟s been writing to „unmask‟ society. He uses Wallander to express his views on all the traumatic topics which give rise to the New Right populism: the flow of illegal immigrants, soaring crime and violence, growing unemployment and social insecurity. Mankell sees himself as a man on a crusade to focus on © BBC those who remain in the shadows, on desperate lost existences, on the long and painful decay of the Swedish cradle to grave welfare state. Featuring a visit to Skane in southern Sweden – the home of the fictional character – this film talks to the most recent actor to play Wallander, Kenneth Branagh and includes interviews with American crime novelist Jeffrey Deaver and Swedish agitator Jan Guillou. Who Is Kurt Wallander? offers a unique profile of Henning Mankell as Swedish crime fiction continues to enjoy success around the world, and is an ideal accompaniment to the Wallander drama series. Page 2 December 2011 Highlights Joanna Lumley in the Land of the Northern Lights Thursday 8 December at 21.30 One of the UK‟s best-loved personalities and most successful comedy exports, Joanna Lumley pursues a life-long dream to track down the elusive and beautiful Northern Lights. Comedy icon Joanna grew up in tropical Malaysia, and as a little girl had never seen snow or felt cold. Inspired by fairy tales full of trolls and snow queens, she always longed to make this journey. But she could never have guessed what a challenging, epic, diverse and absorbing Arctic adventure lay ahead of her. Joanna travels north across the Arctic Circle, up through Norway and finally to Svalbard, the most northerly permanently inhabited place on Earth, where she has to cope with temperatures approaching minus 30°C. © Takeaway Media Joanna‟s journey takes her from train to boat and husky sled as she is pulled ever northwards by what she calls „the strongest point of the compass‟. As the anticipation mounts so does Joanna‟s trepidation that her Arctic journey will be in vain and she won‟t get to see the Northern Lights. Learning to ride a snowmobile, Joanna speeds across endless expanses of Lapland tundra with a Sami herdsman in search of his reindeer. On nearing the Arctic Ocean, she spends the night in a hotel made entirely of ice. The fascinating people she meets on her journey north fire Joanna‟s passion to see the Northern Lights still further, telling her about the unique spectacle and power of this true wonder of the world. But will she see it with her own eyes? Page 3 December 2011 Highlights Reindeer Girls Monday 12 December at 21.30 The Sámi people are reindeer herders from the far north, and one of Europe‟s last nomadic people. Embracing two worlds, they live in 21st century Norway, with all of the comforts and technology that brings – but they also follow their traditional lifestyle of herding reindeer across the Arctic tundra. Reindeer are one of the few animals capable of surviving in this harsh environment. As sub-zero specialists, they are well adapted to withstand the cold, with unique hollow hairs of their coats to provide insulation and large splayed hooves to help them travel quickly over snow. Most domestic animals have been bred to look and behave differently from their wild ancestors, but not reindeer. They still need their wild instincts to survive, so have never become truly tame, and the relationship between the Sámi and the reindeer must therefore be one of mutual benefit. Traditionally the Sámi depended on the reindeer for almost everything in their economy including food, clothing and shelter. In return the reindeer got protection from some of their worst enemies. Although times have changed, reindeer remain at the heart of Sámi life. Every spring Elle‟s family take their vast herd across the mountains on one of the longest migrations still made by the Sámi. This documentary follows them through the beautiful and dramatic landscapes of mainland Europe‟s northernmost outpost. Page 4 December 2011 Highlights Michael Palin and the Mystery of Hammershøi Wednesday 21 December at 21.30 Originally shown on the anniversary of the artist‟s death, Michael Palin and the Mystery of Hammershøi is a personal exploration of the painter‟s work. With a passion for art that is rivalled only by his love of travel, Michael Palin combines both in a European journey to discover more about Vilhelm Hammershoi, the enigmatic Danish artist who © BBC has fascinated him for years. Hammershoi painted around the start of the 20th century, and many of his pictures have a distinct coolness and distance about them. Palin, wanting to know more about Hammershoi‟s inspirations and the reason for these mystical pictures, starts his search at the Haywood Gallery in London, before travelling through Rembrandt's Amsterdam, Vermeer's Delft and on to Copenhagen, Stockholm and the surrounding countryside. Along the way, Palin also gains fascinating insights into the Danish people themselves, their cultural heritage, and the extraordinary legacy of Hammershoi, recounted by Palin with his usual passion, detail and wit. Page 5 December 2011 Highlights Lennon Naked Saturday 10 December at 21.00 Thirty years after the death of John Lennon, Christopher Eccleston stars as the enigmatic musician in a drama which charts his transition from Beatle John to an enduring and enigmatic icon. Writer Robert Jones articulates the burden of genius, as well as issues of fatherhood and fame, covering a period of wildly fluctuating fortunes for Lennon from 1967-71. When the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein died unexpectedly in 1967 it was a turning point in Lennon's life, and Lennon Naked focuses on the turbulent and intense period of change that followed, and how John was haunted by his troubled childhood. It also reveals the impact of re-establishing contact with his long-lost father, and the events that led Lennon to shed everything both personally and creatively, including calling time on the Beatles. Meeting Yoko Ono was the catalyst for this new era, and the film explores the development of their extraordinary relationship, their growing disillusionment with Britain and what caused Lennon to abandon the UK to start a new life in America - a process which ultimately led Lennon to record arguably the most powerful solo work of his career. What the press says about Lennon Naked: “This is an object lesson in how to make good television docudrama. Watch it.” Observer “A brilliant performance, in a brilliant film.” Guardian Page 6 December 2011 Highlights The Killing of John Lennon Sunday 11 December at 21.00 “I was nobody until I killed the biggest somebody on Earth.” This documentary is a chilling insight into the mind of Mark David Chapman, the 25-year- old narcissist who gunned down ex- Beatle John Lennon outside his Dakota apartment in New York in 1980. Meticulously researched and filmed on actual locations where events occurred, this is a gritty and imagistic examination of a celebrity stalker‟s mind leading up to the kill and a look into his descent into madness and exorcism. Independently financed and filmed over three years in Hawaii, Decatur Georgia and New York, The Killing of John Lennon provides an insight into what really happened that day and the motives involved in the murder of one of Britain‟s finest singer/songwriters. Page 7 December 2011 Highlights BBC Electric Proms 2007: Paul McCartney Sunday 18 December at 21.00 In the standout performance of the BBC Electric Proms 2007, Sir Paul McCartney performs tracks from his album Memory Almost Full as well as some crowd- pleasing classics. The BBC Electric Proms brings together the best new and established live performers. From massive gigs in the famous Roundhouse to intimate performances in Camden‟s other venues, artists are encouraged to try something original, be it debuting a new project, a collaboration or a performance with an orchestra. A master of melodies, the former Beatle was joined on stage by a special string section for a truly spectacular and memorable performance of some of his solo hits and a large helping of Beatles classics. Page 8 December 2011 Highlights Beatles Biggest Secrets Saturday 17 December at 21.00 Using a combination of new and exclusive interviews, Beatles Biggest Secrets delves into the inside story of the world‟s greatest ever pop group. The film begins with John Lennon‟s death in 1980, but then tracks back to the early 1960s and the group‟s formation and their early days in Liverpool. The story then travels forward through their careers, from learning their craft in dingy strip joints to global domination as the world‟s greatest ever pop icons.

  • Production Notes
    PRODUCTION NOTES “This town – it’s all secrets. Everyone knows something you don’t” 1 The Town is a three-part contemporary drama from Big Talk Productions starring BAFTA winner Andrew Scott alongside an outstanding ensemble cast including Julia McKenzie, Charlotte Riley, Gerard Kearns, Kelly Adams and Martin Clunes. The first television series by Laurence Olivier award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett, The Town follows a shocking incident within an otherwise normal family. Mark Nicholas (Scott) returns to the town where he grew up to find his grandmother Betty (McKenzie) is now living in his childhood bedroom and he barely knows his teenage sister Jodie (Avigail Tlalim). Mark is drawn back into the life he left behind. Hardest of all is meeting his first love Alice (Riley), now married with a child. Thrust into the complicated lives of his former neighbours, it’s not surprising there are awkward moments as Mark becomes reacquainted with his past, including his old friends ‘down the pub’ Lucy (Kelly Adams), Carly (Aisling Bea) and Jeff (Sam Troughton). Running parallel with Mark’s story, we get to know the town Mayor, alcohol-soaked Len (Clunes). With his world falling in around him, Len is stumbling from one PR disaster to another. As we get to know the community, we’re also introduced to the enigmatic Inspector Franks (Douglas Hodge) from the local police force whose links to the family are stronger than it first appears... Mark struggles to decide whether he should stay permanently to be with his family. But a new life is difficult to build in the place you used to call home and now feels like you barely know it.

Pepper album at Brian Epstein's home in May 1967 Copyright: Rex Features London – The most significant collection of Beatles’ memorabilia to come on the market for over ten years forms the backbone of Christie’s first Pop Memorabilia sale of 2004, taking place on Wednesday 5 May at Christie’s South Kensington.

Course Meeting Time and Location: 1:00-2:20 p.m., MW, QNC 1502 “If you want to know about the Sixties,” wrote beloved American composer Aaron Copland, “play the music of The Beatles.” This isn’t just another Beatles Course. It’s bigger: It is a history course on The Beatles and their times, with an eye on the sweeping, panoramic history of the social, cultural and political transformations that occurred in the 1960s. In the 20th Century, no other band loomed as large as the four British lads from Liverpool. To call them “seminal” fails to do justice. They revolutionized music and the way people listen to it. To study The Beatles – their lives, songs, albums, films, how they’re remembered, and their impact on the world – offers a unique chance to explore the turbulent era of the Sixties, through a prism that is colourful, engaging and epic in scope.

  • Lennon Naked, Airing on MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY, Sunday, November 21 at 9Pm ET on PBS (Check Local Listings)
    In 1967 the Beatles were at the top of the world. John Lennon was at the bottom of his. OnLennon MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY Naked Sunday, November 21, 2010 at 9pm ET on PBS The fabled, turbulent career of John Lennon comes to life in a highly-praised performance by Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), portraying the tormented superstar from the height of his Beatle fame to his romance with Yoko Ono and the breakup of the band, on Lennon Naked, airing on MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY, Sunday, November 21 at 9pm ET on PBS (check local listings). The 90-minute drama recreates key scenes in Lennon’s life from 1964 to 1971, with flashbacks to a turning point in his childhood when his separated parents forced him to choose between them. In a moment of indecision, he tragically got neither. During its UK broadcast, the Daily Telegraph applauded Lennon Naked as “the most ambitious Lennon drama to date,” extolling Eccleston for his “sheer brio” in channeling “a tragic anti-hero more complicated than Hamlet.” The Beatles’ hometown Liverpool Daily Echo praised the film as “frivolous, funny, passionate, and emotionally powerful—just like the man himself.” And the Sunday Express hailed Eccleston for his “convincing and nuanced performance of the late, great Beatle.” Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Lennon’s death, and the year that he would have turned 70, the film is followed on PBS by an American Masters special, LENNONYC, airing Monday, November 22 at 9pm ET. Taking John and Yoko to the eve of their self-imposed expatriation to New York in 1971, Lennon Naked costars Naoko Mori (Torchwood) as Yoko and Christopher Fairbank (Tess of the D’Urbervilles) as Freddie Lennon, John’s absentee dad, who abandoned his young son and then showed up 17 years later in a tabloid-inspired reunion that developed into a relationship—of sorts.

At odds with his family, friends, and fellow police, Wallander is in his element with serial killers and psychopaths, tracking them across the stark farm country of southern Sweden, which he does brilliantly in three new 90-minute cases that set the standard for steely-cold Scandinavian crime stories.

  • Writing About Imaginary Music (Is Really Like Dancing About Architecture) Autobiography, Mini-Theory, and Mini-Anthology of Uphonic Criticism by Gabriele Marino1
    Musica Stampata – Issue 3 (June 2021) Writing about imaginary music (is really like dancing about architecture) Autobiography, mini-theory, and mini-anthology of uphonic criticism by Gabriele Marino1 Abstract Ever since its existence, music criticism has been cyclically accused of inadequacy (how can words capture the proverbial ineffability of sounds?), arbitrariness (what is the value of a judgment that seems so often indefensibly subjective?), uselessness (after all, what are the words of music critics if not false and parasitic?). If music criticism seems far-fetched and sterile, how should we judge the critical gesture exercised on music that does not even exist? It may seem strange, but in the course of music writing, some – critics, journalists, writers of “stuff about music” – have dedicated themselves to this paradoxical activity, with very different aims and styles. It is possible to write about records that do not exist, but about musicians that are quite real. Or to fantasise about music played and recorded by completely imaginary musicians. One may want to make fun of the music system (discography, stardom, fandom, the music press itself) or one may, instead, want to engage in a complicit game with whomever will read the – perhaps very plausible – review of that non- existent record. Writing about imaginary records is certainly a curious fact — Which allows us to illuminate, in a particularly effective way, the practice of writing about music in general. “It is as reasonable to represent one kind of imprisonment by another, as it is to represent anything that really exists by that which exists not.” – Daniel Defoe in the exergue of Albert Camus’ The Plague “Fake money is no more fake than real money.” – Dargen D’Amico “It suffices that a record be possible for it to exist.
