Dear With the summer here, we thought you might enjoy the chance to watch some recently broadcast programmes which you may have missed. I hope you enjoy the programmes I have selected for you from a number of genres – the wonderful, touching and uplifting drama Marvellous; new for this generation, but also bringing back many happy memories for those of us of a certain age, we have the first episode of the new series of Clangers; and an insightful profile of the career of renowned architect Frank Gehry from our Imagine strand. It’s worth remembering that every week 97% of the population uses a BBC service and audience appreciation of BBC programmes is high. Earlier this year, BBC Two’s adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall became the channel’s biggest new drama series in a decade; and BBC One recorded its highest ratings share in a decade with returning drama series Last Tango In Halifax, Silent Witness and Death In Paradise all having their most successful series to date. BBC Television has enjoyed an exemplary year so far with a range of distinctive programming including Poldark, The C Word, Shark co-produced by the BBC’s Natural History Unit, Inside The Commons - as part of our extensive Magna Carta commemorations, BBC Scotland’s Stonemouth, CBBC’s Horrible Histories, and coverage of the Women’s Football World Cup. Over the next few months you can expect a range of new, original and distinctive programmes across BBC Television. We have Big Blue Live which is an ambitious television first that will take viewers on an extraordinary journey with one of the biggest wildlife gatherings in the oceans; drama To Walk Invisible: The Bronte Sisters is an original perspective on the Bronte sisters by multi- award-winning writer Sally Wainwright; coverage of the Edinburgh Festival; 20-part drama series Dickensian which brings together some of literature’s most iconic characters set within the fictional realms of Charles Dickens’ critically acclaimed novels; and we have a celebration of Shakespeare planned for 2016 to introduce a new generation of viewers to Shakespeare’s work, 400 years after his death. Anyway, I hope you do get the chance to watch at least some of the enclosed DVD. Have a good summer. Best wishes Andrew Scadding Head of Corporate Affairs New Broadcasting House, London, W1A 1AA DVD content: Marvellous BBC Two Part biopic, part musical and part fantasy, this is the BAFTA award-winning inspirational and incredible true story of Neil Baldwin, played by Toby Jones, a man who refused to accept the label of learning difficulties and who has led an extraordinary life. The drama won 2 BAFTAs at this year’s awards including best single drama and best supporting actress for Gemma Jones. Clangers, episode 1 CBeebies The pink, long-nosed and loveable mouse-shaped creatures have returned for a new series following their first TV debut in 1969. Narrated by Sir Michael Palin, each episode centres on members of the Clanger family either solving a problem, making a discovery, inventing something or greeting a new visitor to their small, blue planet. Clangers is currently broadcast at 5.30pm on weekdays, and available on BBC iPlayer. CBeebies provides a mix of high-quality, mostly UK-produced, programmes designed to encourage learning through play in a consistently safe environment for children under six. CBBC, our channel for 6-12 year olds, is the only UK Children's channel to commit to a minimum of 550 hours of factual programming and 85 hours of news programming every year, and we recently announced proposals to expand the choice of content for younger viewers including extending the hours of CBBC. Imagine BBC One BBC One’s flagship arts strand is a compelling line-up of films profiling a diverse array of creative talent: from leading contemporary artist Jeff Koons to legendary drummer Ginger Baker and prize- winning novelists Richard Flanagan and Toni Morrison. In this episode Imagine… explores the colourful career of architect Frank Gehry as he embarks on an ambitious new project in Australia. One of the world’s most celebrated yet controversial creative forces, Gehry has fundamentally reinvented what architecture can be. Please note that some of these programmes are broadcast post-watershed and may contain adult themes. Please also be aware that there is no subtitling on the enclosed DVD. Programmes are available with subtitles at time of broadcast and on BBC iPlayer, and also available on our commercial DVDs. .

    Stoically Sapphic: Gentlemanly Encryption and Disruptive Legibility in Adapting Anne Lister

    Stoically Sapphic: Gentlemanly Encryption and Disruptive Legibility in Adapting Anne Lister Sarah E. Maier and Rachel M. Friars (University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada & Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada) Abstract: Anne Lister (1791–1840) was a multihyphenate landowner-gentry-traveller-autodidact- queer-lesbian, a compulsive journal writer who lived through the late-Romantic and well into the Victorian ages. While her journals have proven to be an iconographic artefact for queer and lesbian history, our interest here is in the public adaptations of Lister’s intentionally private writings for twenty-first-century audiences as found in the film The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010) and the television series Gentleman Jack (2019–). Our discussion queries what it means to portray lived queer experience of the nineteenth century, how multimedia translate and transcribe Lister’s works onto screen, as well as how questions of legibility, visibility and ethics inevitably emerge in these processes. Keywords: adaptation, encryption, Gentleman Jack, journals, lesbianism, Anne Lister, queer history, queer visibility, The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister, transcription. ***** Lister ought to tell her own story before anyone interpreted it for her. Hers is, after all, the truly authentic voice of the nineteenth century woman caught up in a dilemma not of her own making. She ought to be allowed to tell it as it was, from her own point of view. (Whitbread 1992: xii) The recent appearance of a woman given the nickname ‘Gentleman Jack’ in a show focused on a queer woman depicts a subject who writes her life into encrypted journals.
  • Neil Baldwin, Celebrity

    Neil Baldwin, Celebrity

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book would not have been commissioned if the multi-award-winning BBC TV drama Marvellous, based on Neil’s life, had not been such an outstanding success. To adapt a line from Marvellous: ‘Acknowledgements, I wouldn’t know where to start.’ Or indeed to finish. But I’ll try. We thank the writer and executive director, Peter Bowker, for his brilliantly perceptive and funny script, which truly captured Neil’s spirit, so outstandingly portrayed on screen by Toby Jones, without which there would have been no film. His fellow executive director, Patrick Spence, managing director of Fifty Fathoms, part of the Tiger Aspect group, had the wisdom to see the potential of the film, and sell it to the BBC. He managed the whole process with sensitive professionalism. Patrick was the figurehead and representation of a brilliant directing, production, acting and publicity team, who have gained the professional recognition they so richly deserve, and who had Neil’s best interests at the heart of all their work. It seems invidious to selectively name and praise individuals here. Thank you all, guys, for a job superbly well done. Marvellous itself would not have been conceived and made without the article written about Neil in The Guardian in 2010 by our longstanding friend, Francis Beckett. But Francis’s contribution certainly did not end there. He conducted some of the interviews for the book, edited the whole text and drew upon his extensive experience as an author and journalist to provide invaluable advice on structure and content, and provided an introduction and afterword.

Synopsis Johnny Saxby works long hours in brutal isolation on his family’s remote farm in the north of England. He numbs the daily frustration of his lonely existence with nightly binge-drinking at the local pub and casual sex. When a handsome Romanian migrant worker arrives to take up temporary work on the family farm, Johnny suddenly finds himself having to deal with emotions he has never felt before. An intense relationship forms between the two which could change Johnny’s life forever. Long Synopsis Spring. Yorkshire. Johnny Saxby (24) carries the weight of his family’s dilapidating sheep farm alone. His formidable grandmother Deirdre (70) is now too old to work the land, whilst his father Martin (50), once a capable farmer, struggles in the aftermath of a stroke. Socially and geographically isolated and overwhelmed by the responsibility, yet too proud to accept any help, Johnny numbs his frustration with drink, dope and casual sex.

  • World on Fire

    World on Fire

    Biographical Notes World on Fire Peter Bowker Writer, World on Fire MASTERPIECE fans remember Peter Bowker’s impassioned adaptation of Wuthering Heights from 2009, which captured Emily Brontë’s masterpiece in all its complexity. With World on Fire he has created a plot with even more twists, turns, and memorable characters, centered on the chaotic events at the outset of World War II. Bowker has been an established screenwriter in the U.K since penning scripts for Casualty in the early 1990s. Since then, he has written for many long-running series such as Where the Heart Is and Clocking Off. His original work has included Undercover Heart; Flesh and Blood, for which he won Best Writer at the RTS Awards; Blackpool, which was awarded BANFF Film Festival Best Mini-Series and Global Television Grand Prize; and Occupation, which was awarded Best Drama Serial at the BAFTA Awards, in addition to Best Short-Form Drama at the WGGB Awards and another RTS Best Writer Award. He has since written Eric and Ernie and Marvellous. Both productions have won prestigious awards, including a Best Drama BAFTA for Marvellous, which became the most popular BBC2 single drama of the last 20 years. Most recently he has written an adaptation of John Lanchester’s novel Capital and two series of the acclaimed The A Word. Julia Brown Lois Bennett, World on Fire Driven to escape her cheating lover and dysfunctional family, Julia Brown’s character in World on Fire finds a wartime role that exploits her remarkable singing talent. Luckily, Brown herself is a gifted vocalist and sang much of the soundtrack that accompanies the episodes.
