In just a few years at the start of the 20th century, Britain changed in unimaginable ways. From the first foray into aviation, to the invention of labour-saving devices for the home, to the rise of “the brand”, and the birth of not only “the High Street”, but also of the “commuter class”, mass consumerism and tabloid journalism, the Edwardians lived lives not too distant from our own. This new BBC Four season investigates, interrogates and celebrates the richness and excitement of this pioneering and world-changing time. 01 bbc_four_Autmun_2006.qxd:Layout 1 16/1/07 10:42 Page 5 The season includes some of the era’s best-known names, from literary giants such as George and Weedon Grossmith and Saki, to the doyenne of the music hall, Marie Lloyd. Along the way, it also uncovers lesser-known figures. It hears about trailblazers in the fields of social reform, journalism, photography, entrepreneurship and technical invention, uncovering what it really felt like to be Edwardian. Dramas The season launches with Andrew Davies’s brilliant, two-part adaptation of the classic comedy novel The Diary Of A In a compelling drama about the life of one of the biggest stars Nobody, starring Hugh Bonneville as the wonderfully of the time, Marie Lloyd – starring Jessie Wallace as Marie – pompous diarist Mr Charles Pooter – the Victor Meldrew of the season exposes the seedy underbelly of this peculiarly his day – Edwardian entertainment.

  • MS41 Sir Kenneth Branagh
    MS41 Branagh Collection About the collection: Background: The Sir Kenneth Branagh Archive originated in a substantial bequest to Queen's University from Sir Kenneth Branagh in 2000. The original bequests have been supplemented by donations from other sources, including commercial bodies (such as Naxos), charitable organisations (such as the Ulster Association of Youth Drama) and individuals (such as Mark Thornton Burnett, Sarah Hatchuel and Jude Tessel). Overview: The Archive consists of material relating to the professional life and work of Sir Kenneth Branagh. It is largely made up of paper documents (many are photocopies), but also holds recordings and merchandise related to individual productions. Original items (i.e. not photocopies) are marked as such in the listing. The Branagh Archive is an open collection, so periodically items will be added – from 2006 onwards the date items were added is noted. Arrangement: The material is arranged in 7 main headings: Theatre, Television, Film, Radio/Audio, General, Recordings and Oversized Material. Where material relating to a production allows, it is arranged by the type of material: Production Material, Publicity Material, Press/Reviews/Criticism, Publications and Merchandise. The General heading lists material which does not relate to any specific production (i.e. profiles and general biographical material). It also includes material relating to organisations with which Sir Kenneth Branagh is associated (Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and the Ulster Youth Theatre). The Recordings heading lists official releases of films, television work and radio, but also unofficial copies. In addition, it also contains recordings of television and radio interviews with Sir Kenneth Branagh. Finally, the Oversized Material heading lists materials which for reason of storage are held together.

Muddle Earth is a twisted version of Tolkein's Middle Earth, from "Lord of the Rings", and it's inhabited by a host of daft wizards, trolls, faeries, dragons and characters that have become a staple of the High Fantasy genre.
