  • 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.

BFI are excited to screen extracts from a previously unseen filmed interview with Dennis Potter as well as long lost single plays, Freedom in September, a Cold War era story starring a pre-Doctor Who Patrick Troughton, psychological hostage drama No Harm Done starring Coronation Street’s Helen Worth and missing sitcom pilot Porterhouse Private Eye starring Carry on... regulars Peter Butterworth and June Whitfield. As part of a BFI season of his work, the quintessential British TV dramatist Dennis Potter was interviewed by TV Critic Philip Purser for The Guardian Lecture series at the NFT (now BFI Southbank), on 30 October, 1980. When BBC editors at the time made a last minute decision not to film the event for broadcast, Potter and his producer Kenith Trodd filmed the lecture themselves with the idea of selling it to a broadcaster. Missing Believed Wiped offers an audience the first glimpse of the interview since the event almost 40 years ago. Kenith Trodd, who held the rushes in his personal archive, will introduce extracts from this revealing interview which captures a pivotal moment in Potter’s prodigious TV career.

Not surprisingly, Simpson is British, thus exemplifying the traditional national characteristics of self-deprecation and celebration of failure. The first point Simpson makes recalls one of the reasons François Truffaut gave to Alfred Hitchcock for what Truffaut notoriously saw as “a certain incompatibility between the terms ‘cinema’ and ‘Britain’ […] there are national characteristics – among them, the English countryside, the subdued way of life, the stolid routine – that are antidramatic in a sense.
