  • Natural Pursuits – the Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011
    PRESS RELEASE June 2011 11/49 Natural Pursuits – The Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011 BFI Southbank celebrates the tragi-comic screen dramas of the late Simon Gray. A writer of immense wit and intellectual charm whose razor-sharp dialogue is unsurpassed. The month long season features some of Gray’s most celebrated work including screenings of Unnatural Pursuits (1992), After Pilkington (1987) and They Never Slept (1991) which feature performances by British acting elite including Alan Bates, Edward Fox and Miranda Richardson. Following the screening of They Never Slept, a panel of guests including producer Kenith Trodd, and directors Udayan Prasad and Christopher Morahan will discuss his great contribution to television drama and the theatre illustrated with clips of some of his early and rare television plays to be chaired by Broadcaster Matthew Sweet. After the screening of Butley on Sunday 14 Aug, Lindsay Posner, director of the 40th anniversary revival of the play currently running at the Duchess Theatre will also be welcomed to the BFI stage for a Q&A. Gray wrote prolifically from the mid-60s onwards for both the West End stage (Otherwise Engaged, Quartermaine’s Terms, The Late Middle Classes, Butley) and for television, where such important early successes such as Death of a Teddy Bear, Man in a Sidecar and The Caramel Crisis were carelessly wiped. His most fertile period writing specifically for TV occurred between 1975 and 1993 during a close collaboration with producer Kenith Trodd and four major directors, Michael Lindsay- Hogg, Christopher Morahan, Udayan Prasad and Pat O’Connor.

  • NEWSLETTER No 9 February 2019.Pdf
    NEWSLETTER no 9 February 2019 Dear Member “Midwinter spring is its own season”, as T S Eliot rather cryptically told us. As we write this, it does seem rather more like spring than winter. But as Eliot goes on to ask, “Where is the summer?” If we do as well as we did in 2018 it will be time for the resurgence of the Civic Society Corporate Hat, a garment much in evidence in our visit to Southwell as depicted in our newsletter last autumn. ALBERT FINNEY 1936-2019 Never Sir Albert Finney: he refused it, as his socialist character Arthur Seaton, anti-hero of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, would no doubt have refused it; but fortunately Arthur Seaton’s creator Alan Sillitoe did not refuse the Freedom of the City of Nottingham, for which Hilary put him forward. Albert Finney was not the first choice for the starring role of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning: Bulwell native Peter Bowles was auditioned for it, but told he didn’t sound Northern enough (well he wouldn’t, would he? The Nottingham accent is as difficult for actors as the Leicester one, which explains why in the 1983 ITV series based on The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole all the characters took on Brummie accents). As for Bowles, he vowed never to use his Nottingham accent on stage again, being somewhat Cockney in Blow Up and Bless Me Father, and totally upper class in To the Manor Born and Rumpole of the Bailey. Albert Finney sounded Northern all right: he was born in Salford.

All Rights Reserved. 1907 7 %t « r • » c«« • « » r f • • ' • • • • ••• • e * t -• •-• r preface. In tracing the Bowles Family the compiler has been content to follow carefully through the pages of history from the field of Hastings and the fens of Lin- coln as they advance generation upon generation, in the peaceful homestead or far out on the faint frontier in the company of Wolfe or Washington, Crockett or Grant. The English Bowles pedigree is authentic and unbroken and is here printed for the first time. The destruction of records in the Peninsular counties of Virginia by the ravages of war made it impossible to construct an unbroken lineage of the Virginia branch. In all the generations from the Norman Conquest to the Twentieth Century the Bowles name has been represented in those crises which appeal to the honor and the patriotism of the best types of the English- speaking races. The lineage has been carefully traced, for though tradition has not been ignored, the authority is given for important facts, and these facts are suffic- ient to tinge the story with all the charm of romance.

  • Victoria, Season 2 Starring Jenna Coleman As the Young Queen, Wife, and Mother in an All-New Season of Victoria Premieres January 14, 2018 on MASTERPIECE on PBS
    A woman’s place is on the throne. Victoria, Season 2 Starring Jenna Coleman as the young queen, wife, and mother in an all-new season of Victoria Premieres January 14, 2018 on MASTERPIECE on PBS Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) returns for a new season as the young queen who wants it all—romance, power, an heir, and personal freedom—on Victoria, Season 2, airing in seven episodes created and scripted by bestselling novelist Daisy Goodwin (The Fortune Hunter), premiering January 14, 2018 on MASTERPIECE on PBS. More than 16.2 million viewers tuned in for Victoria’s premiere season, making it the highest-rated drama on PBS in 20 years—second only to Downton Abbey. Joining the cast in the new season is legendary actress Dame Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones, The Avengers), who plays the Duchess of Buccleuch, the court’s new Mistress of the Robes—a fount of old-fashioned good sense for the queen, who is now in the throes of motherhood. Tom Hughes (Dancing on the Edge) stars as the queen’s smoldering consort, Prince Albert. Also returning from last season are Nell Hudson (Outlander) as Nancy Skerrett, newly promoted to the queen’s chief dresser, whose secrets are yet to be revealed, and Ferdinand Kingsley (Borgia) as Charles Francatelli, the royal chef whose love for Nancy was spurned at the end of Season 1. Victoria’s first season, focusing on the teenage queen’s audacious upstaging of her handlers to chart her own path, delighted TV critics. The Hollywood Reporter called Victoria “thoroughly enjoyable and addictive.” “Royally entertaining,” proclaimed The San Francisco Chronicle, and “a sparkling gem,” said The New York Post.
