Judy Gilligan BEAT THE NEW YEAR BURGLARY Chiltern and South Bucks Community Safety Partnership is urging people to take a few minutes in January to security mark any valuable new items they may have received as gifts or bought over Christmas. Many residents will have been lucky enough to have been given iPads, tablets, cameras, new games consoles and new bikes for Christmas, all of which are desirable to thieves. Marking property ensures it can be returned to its rightful owner in the event of it being recovered after a burglary. It also acts as a deterrent to thieves by making the items harder to sell on. Items should be marked on the back or underneath with a postcode and house number using an ultra violet (UV) pen which are available in most DIY stores. Larger items, such as bikes, scooters or machinery can be permanently marked using an engraver or etching kit. Using forensic marking products such as SmartWater and Selecta DNA are also a highly effective way to mark property. A liquid solution is applied giving items either a chemical or DNA code depending on the product used, which is unique to the owner.

  • British Films 1971-1981
    Preface This is a reproduction of the original 1983 publication, issued now in the interests of historical research. We have resisted the temptations of hindsight to change, or comment on, the text other than to correct spelling errors. The document therefore represents the period in which it was created, as well as the hard work of former colleagues of the BFI. Researchers will notice that the continuing debate about the definitions as to what constitutes a “British” production was topical, even then, and that criteria being considered in 1983 are still valid. Also note that the Dept of Trade registration scheme ceased in May 1985 and that the Eady Levy was abolished in the same year. Finally, please note that we have included reminders in one or two places to indicate where information could be misleading if taken for current. David Sharp Deputy Head (User Services) BFI National Library August 2005 ISBN: 0 85170 149 3 © BFI Information Services 2005 British Films 1971 – 1981: - back cover text to original 1983 publication. What makes a film British? Is it the source of its finance or the nationality of the production company and/or a certain percentage of its cast and crew? Is it possible to define a British content? These were the questions which had to be addressed in compiling British Films 1971 – 1981. The publication includes commercial features either made and/or released in Britain between 1971 and 1981 and lists them alphabetically and by year of registration (where appropriate). Information given for each film includes production company, studio and/or major location, running time, director and references to trade paper production charts and Monthly Film Bulletin reviews as source of more detailed information.

  • Jack Rosenthal
    Jack Rosenthal by Sue Vice Manchester University Press 2009 £50 hb 202pp for European Journal of Communication by Helena Sheehan Dublin City University The Television Series is a collection of books advancing television studies by focusing on the oeuvre of seminal writers of television drama. Already published are books on such authors as Alan Bennett, Trevor Griffiths, Tony Garnett, Andrew Davies, Alan Clarke, Troy Kennedy Martin and Lynda La Plante. In reviewing a number of earlier titles in the series, Robin Nelson has noted: Following a period in which the death of the author has been much vaunted, this new series tackles head-on the issue of authorial contribution ... This refreshing, overall approach allows due credit to be given to exceptional, creative individuals while fully recognizing that broadcast television production is a complex and collaborative industrial process over which no one individual can have total control ... The Television Series mobilizes a dialogue between different perspectives and critical approaches. In boldly celebrating the achievements of individuals, the accounts of careers also illustrate the collaborative process of television production and the powerplays and tensions involved in trying to articulate a distinctive vision. (Nelson 2007) Because of nature of television production, there is a complex dialectic and often tension of individual vision and creativity with other forces involved. This book captures that dynamic well. Both the series and this book make a useful contribution to television studies by focusing on the role played by certain key authors within the larger dynamics of television production. Jack Rosenthal (1931-2004) hailed from working class Manchester, descended from Russian Jewish immigrants who endured poverty and hard times.

  • Jack Rosenthal Drama Scripts Collection
    1 University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 286 Title: Jack Rosenthal Drama Scripts Collection Scope: Television, film and theatre scripts, together with associated documents, by the contemporary dramatist Jack Rosenthal Dates: 1942-2001 (mainly 1961-2001) Level: Fonds Extent: 75 boxes Name of creator: Jack Morris Rosenthal (1931-2004) Administrative / biographical history: The collection consists of manuscript (typescript) copies of most of the scripts created by the contemporary dramatist Jack Rosenthal during a career of over 40 years of writing for television, the cinema and the theatre. Also included in the collection are related documents, including working notes, correspondence, press cuttings, together with some personal and other memorabilia. A number of videos of programmes made from the scripts are also available. Many scripts appear in several drafts, providing an insight into the way in which a dramatic work may be changed and adapted during the creative process between its original conception and its final published form. Not all the works represented here have been produced or performed, as often television and film companies will commission a script and then either not put it into production or not ultimately complete the process. Jack Morris Rosenthal, CBE, was born 8 September 1931 in Manchester to a Jewish family, both his parents, Sam and Leah, being employed in a raincoat factory. After attending Colne Grammar School he read English Language and Literature at the University of Sheffield, graduating B.A. in 1953. Following National Service in the Royal Navy, where he learned to translate Russian, he worked for a time in the promotion department of Granada Television, one of the recently formed ITV companies, before leaving to work in advertising.

  • Book Reviews 91 Ongoing Discussion (In Helen
    Book Reviews 91 ongoing discussion (in Helen Wheatley’s writing, for example, which is quoted at length here) of wildlife programming – with its high production values, exotic loca- tions and primetime slots – as exclusive and elitist and also critical of the genre’s appeal to the white middle-class audience. But, as he admits, the three audiences he selected for his research project were ‘largely white and predominantly middle class’ (p. 129). It is one thing to argue that historically wildlife programmes have been aimed at the white and middle class and quite another to hunt out the white and middle class to prove this. What stopped Austin from approaching a more demographically diverse group of viewers? This is, in conclusion, the disappointment of Watching the World: that it begins by identifying the lack of audience studies within documentary criticism but ultimately falls short of mapping out how documentary criticism can be reshaped by audience-based research in a meaningful way.
