M. Phillips I’m sue THAS members greatly enjoyed the autumn reunion at the Red Barn, Blindley Heath, Surrey in October (an event which I hope can be repeated). Before the evening’s activities got underway I spent part of the afternoon ex- ploring the immediate area and this quiz evolved from that, so have a go and enjoy! 1. Approximately in which year was the Red Barn built? 2. What was the Red Barn used for before it became a Pub/Restaurant? 3. Near the turning to the building there is a large yellow notice alongside the road warning drivers of what? 4. What was the name of the previous lady owner who became close friends with tony and Cicely Hancock when the couple moved into the area? 5. Lyn, the above owner’s daughter carried out secretarial work for Tony from time to time. Which comedy writer/performer did she later marry? 6. In which lane is the Red Barn (and Tony’s former home) situated? 7. The Hancock’s purchased their Blindley Heath home in 1957. They called this new address ‘MacConkey’s’ af- ter a doctor who had once lived there, but what was the house called prior to the Hancock’s arrival? 8. On the roof of ‘MacConkey’s’ one can still see an image of an animal carved in stone. What creature is this? 9. A white bas relief positioned above the front entrance of ‘MacConkey’s’ can still be seen from the adjoining road. Whom is this relief supposed to show? 10. Tony always said this bas relief reminded him of whom? 11. In which decade was ‘MacConkey’s’ built? 12. Which nearby town did the Hancock’s have to go to for their main shopping? 13. The Red Barn earned its Grade II listed status in which year? 14. One day following his return from holiday in France, Tony announced he had discovered a French game and suggested this be tried out. What was this game called and in which exact location was it played? 15. Tony loved ‘MacConkey’s’, although sometimes had problems with some of the animal life which he encoun- tered, an issue which found its way into some of the Radio and Television scripts. What was this issue? 16. After her divorce from Tony Cicely moved into a cottage in the neighbouring town of where? 17. True or False: As one enters the Red Barn there is an enclosed lake to the left of the property? True or False: There is a stone carving on the roof of the building similar to the one on the roof of MacConkey’s? True or False: A farm shop is run from the Red Barn? True or False: A nature reserve features in the landscape of the Blindley area? 18. MacConkey’s was sole comparatively recently by a gentleman who had been interviewed by Ben Miller for the BBC documentary ‘My Hero’ shown in 2013. What was this gentleman’s name? The Bonus Pages - January 2020 - Page 3 Jon Street, our digital archivist has pointed out that this photo of Tony (below) is often credited to be from the episode ‘The Cold’, however, upon looking at what’s on the table and the shelf behind him, it appears it’s actually from the chip shop scene in the episode ‘Sid in Love’, I assume the reason he’s looking miserable is he’s trying not to laugh about Sid professing his love for the clippie. Well noticed Jon. Even Hancock aficionados of- ten assume that the picture is from The Cold or The Econo- my Drive. The Bonus Pages - January 2020 - Page 4 Member David Parker has typed a transcript of of the links introducing each segment in the Pieces of Hancock LP. We are very grateful to David. Pieces of Hancock Side 1 – Introduction ........so anyway, I was standing outside this pub minding me own business, watching as the barrels roll down the ladder, when this fella came up to me. Little bloke he was, you know. Glasses, beard, rope sandals, all that. He said ‘Are you one of us?’ Well, you know how it is. Just come out the pub. The warm glow of humanity spreading inside you. I didn’t want to offend the gentleman. I didn't even know who he was. I mean no man is an island, after all. So I said ‘Yes. By all means.’ So, he stuck this banner in me hand and said ‘Hold this brother. We're all behind you!’ and they were. About five hundred of them. Down with the Rent Act. Well, it would have been alright if they hadn't thrown marbles under the hooves of the mounted police. I think that's what really upset 'em. Well, I tried to unload me banner onto a vicar, but he already had two of his own. Then someone belted me round the back of the head with his truncheon and said ‘Go home!’ I said ‘I’m nothing to do with it. I came here to see the walloping - not to take part in it!'. Well, anyway . pardon? Oh! You're ready. Is this close enough? Right. I’ll see you afterwards. No, no, no. Sit down. Sit down over there. It’ll be al- right. I shan’t be a minute. That’s right. I’ll just knock this off. [Clank of bottle against glass and water being poured] I wish they'd get the dust off this water. Now? Right. Ladies and gentlemen. I am very proud to have this opportunity of speaking to you prior to the commence- ment of this gramophone recording. They've allowed me ten grooves starting from when I said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen’ The first excerpt you’ll be hearing, providing of course if this is the side of the record you put on first, consists of two one-act playlets, both of which speak for themselves, and I, for my part, speaking for myself personally, can only say, in the one and a half grooves left to me, that the messages contained therein will, I hope, serve as a timely warning to mankind, that . .[Theme music starts] . the human race must in future, if it is to survive . Hang on! I haven't finished yet. I’ve still got half a groove left! Do you mind! Really, these commercial concerns. One doesn't get treated like this at the BBC. They're gentlemen. The Bonus Pages - January 2020 - Page 5 Side 1 – Excerpt from ‘The East Cheam Drama Festival’ ........so anyway, there I was holding this banner when this other copper comes up to me and he said, ‘Why don't you go home?’ I said ‘Look, I've already got one lump don't you start so . What! Well how I’m I supposed to know it had finished? Why don't you get a red light put in here or something? Honestly. You’d think after all the records they'd made they know how to go about it. Dame Clara Butt didn't have to put up with this sort of thing. She may not have had a red light but at least she had a bloke to tap her on the shoulder and give her the wink. ‘Go on Clara, girl. Have a bash dear. Straight down the horn.’ Here? Nothing! ‘Course I prefer those days meself - the old cylinders. I don't like these flat ones. You can't even make flowerpots out of them these days. Oh well, where were we? Er, yes. Now the next accept is a flashback to my service days. Not exactly as they were but as they should have been. In actual fact I was a corporal and I was very valuable. It was me feet. I had to stick them under the wheels of the Spitfires as they were revving up. Well, you couldn't get the chocks, you see. You couldn't get them. Ah, yes! Many’s the fine summer morning down at Biggin Hill, the cry would be heard ‘Feet away!’ and off they’d roar into the blue sky to do battle with the Hun. Yes, the Battle of Britain ruined my feet. Of course, when they started putting them under Lancasters I turned it in. Half a dozen blockbusters pressing down on your corns. I’m sorry. Not me. Anyway. What you’re about to hear is what might have been if only certain people in high places had had the intelligence to recognize officer material when they saw it. ........so anyway, this copper put a half-nelson on me and marched me up to the station.

  • Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles' Films
    “All I’ve got to do is Act Naturally”: Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles’ Films Submitted by Stephanie Anne Piotrowski, AHEA, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English (Film Studies), 01 October 2008.

(signed)…………Stephanie Piotrowski ……………… Piotrowski 2 Abstract In this thesis, I examine the Beatles’ five feature films in order to argue how undermining generic convention and manipulating performance codes allowed the band to control their relationship with their audience and to gain autonomy over their output. Drawing from P. David Marshall’s work on defining performance codes from the music, film, and television industries, I examine film form and style to illustrate how the Beatles’ filmmakers used these codes in different combinations from previous pop and classical musicals in order to illicit certain responses from the audience. In doing so, the role of the audience from passive viewer to active participant changed the way musicians used film to communicate with their fans. I also consider how the Beatles’ image changed throughout their career as reflected in their films as a way of charting the band’s journey from pop stars to musicians, while also considering the social and cultural factors represented in the band’s image.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

  • 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.

  • Carry on Cabby, Gender, and the Local Industrial Power Nexus
    Carry on Cabby, Gender, and the Local Industrial Power Nexus Kieron O’Hara More than 900 years have passed since the Norman Conquest, and it is sobering to think that so many centuries of English history, that the slow, beneficent growth of a society so traditional and stable, that the legacy of Shakespeare, Jonson, Dryden and the like-should have issued at last with “Carry On Camping,” which opened yesterday at neighborhood theaters.’ For no man Laughs at old jests ....’ 1. Introduction The Curry On films have for a long time held an important place in British popular culture, although a place not acknowledged in the litera- ture on popular culture as often ‘as one might think. A series of comedy films played by a large ensemble of comedy actors, with little or no claim to art, whose humor would fairly be described as basic, the Curry Ons have a felt Englishness3 about them, often described as analogous to fish and chips, or saucy seaside postcards. They have not endeared them- selves to critics or intellectuals: feminists and the right deplore their near-obsession with the breasts and bottoms of a series of buxom actresses (chiefly Barbara Windsor); the left detect reactionary views: particularly of working relationships, perhaps most in evidence in Kenneth Cope’s doctrinaire and obstructive shop steward in Curry On At Your Convenience. Even where the influence of the Curry Ons is acknowledged without prejudice, it is not generally the case that that influence can be seen as a good one. For example, Peter Hutchings rightly notes the importance of the Curry On tradition for Hitchcock’s Fren~y;~however, no-one would claim that Frenzy was the most politi- cally correct of Hitch’s pictures.

  • Yellow Submarine George Dunning, 1968
    EL SUBMARINO AMARILLO Yellow submarine George Dunning, 1968 LA BANDA DE LOS CORAZONES PSICODÉLICOS El submarino amarillo es un film de animación producido por la King Features como extensión de la serie televisiva The Beatles, emitida en Estados Unidos entre 1965 y 1969. Siguiendo el esquema de la serie, que consistía en coger una canción de la banda y desarrollar cualquier historia sugerida por el título, el argumento del largometraje se compuso en base a dos composiciones de The Beatles. Yellow submarine cuenta la odisea de los cuatro músicos de Liverpool que se embarcan en un submarino amarillo para recorrer mares fantásticos poblados por monstruos y otras amenazas. Fue concebida y desarrollada principalmente por el escritor norteamericano Lee Minoff. Stg. Pepper cuenta la peripecia del grupo tras su llegada a Pimientalandia, donde deben rescatar mediante la música a una población férreamente sometida por un tirano azul. Es el resultado del parcheo, que no colaboración, de un número indeterminado de guionistas. En última instancia, parece que buena parte de las soluciones narrativas surgieron de la improvisación de los dibujantes. La génesis y elaboración del film se explican con más detalle en la segunda parte de este texto, titulada La sombra del submarino. Liberada de la presencia pueril y esperpéntica de los Beatles de carne y hueso, El submarino amarillo es una de las mejores expresiones del arte psicodélico. El término psicodelia es un neologismo compuesto por las raíces griegas ψυχή (psique=alma) y δήλη (dele=manifestación), lo que permite aplicarlo a todo intento de mostrar lo más recóndito de nuestra mente, algo imposible con las palabras y las figuras convencionales.
