  • 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.

  • Carry on Cabby, Gender, and the Local Industrial Power Nexus
    Carry on Cabby, Gender, and the Local Industrial Power Nexus Kieron O’Hara More than 900 years have passed since the Norman Conquest, and it is sobering to think that so many centuries of English history, that the slow, beneficent growth of a society so traditional and stable, that the legacy of Shakespeare, Jonson, Dryden and the like-should have issued at last with “Carry On Camping,” which opened yesterday at neighborhood theaters.’ For no man Laughs at old jests ....’ 1. Introduction The Curry On films have for a long time held an important place in British popular culture, although a place not acknowledged in the litera- ture on popular culture as often ‘as one might think. A series of comedy films played by a large ensemble of comedy actors, with little or no claim to art, whose humor would fairly be described as basic, the Curry Ons have a felt Englishness3 about them, often described as analogous to fish and chips, or saucy seaside postcards. They have not endeared them- selves to critics or intellectuals: feminists and the right deplore their near-obsession with the breasts and bottoms of a series of buxom actresses (chiefly Barbara Windsor); the left detect reactionary views: particularly of working relationships, perhaps most in evidence in Kenneth Cope’s doctrinaire and obstructive shop steward in Curry On At Your Convenience. Even where the influence of the Curry Ons is acknowledged without prejudice, it is not generally the case that that influence can be seen as a good one. For example, Peter Hutchings rightly notes the importance of the Curry On tradition for Hitchcock’s Fren~y;~however, no-one would claim that Frenzy was the most politi- cally correct of Hitch’s pictures.

  • Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 2001
    Leic.Arch. Sept 2002 11/10/02 7:55 AM Page 81 Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 2001 Note. Archaeological watching briefs which have produced no significant archaeological features or finds are listed at the end of the relevant sections below. In each case, the parish/site name is followed by the name of the individual or organisation that undertook the fieldwork. For abbreviations, please see above, p.iv. Some entries relate to fieldwork undertaken before 2001, but not previously reported. LEICESTER ABBEY Leicester Abbey (SK 584 060) James Meek and Richard Buckley In July and August 2001, University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) undertook a second training excavation in Abbey Grounds, Abbey Park, Leicester, for second-year students of the School of Archaeology and Ancient History, Leicester University. The Abbey Grounds lie to the west of the River Soar, and contain the excavated plan of Leicester Abbey, one of the wealthiest Augustinian houses in the country, together with the ruins of Cavendish House, a mansion of the 16th-17th century. The fieldwork concentrated on Cavendish House, although trenches were also examined within the chapter house of the abbey. Cavendish House Although most of the abbey buildings, including the church, were razed to the ground within a few years of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538, the main gatehouse, boundary walls and farm buildings survived. Under the ownership of the Hastings and Cavendish families in the 16th and 17th centuries, the gatehouse became a domestic residence and underwent many structural modifications. It was burnt down in 1645 during the English Civil War and in the 18th and 19th centuries the ruined shell was further reused for different phases of farmhouse buildings.
