    Hull History Centre: Papers of Alan Plater U DPR Papers of Alan Plater 1936-2012 Accession number: 1999/16, 2004/23, 2013/07, 2013/08, 2015/13 Biographical Background: Alan Frederick Plater was born in Jarrow in April 1935, the son of Herbert and Isabella Plater. He grew up in the Hull area, and was educated at Pickering Road Junior School and Kingston High School, Hull. He then studied architecture at King's College, Newcastle upon Tyne, becoming an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1959 (since lapsed). He worked for a short time in the profession, before becoming a full-time writer in 1960. His subsequent career has been extremely wide-ranging and remarkably successful, both in terms of his own original work, and his adaptations of literary works. He has written extensively for radio, television, films and the theatre, and for the daily and weekly press, including The Guardian, Punch, Listener, and New Statesman. His writing credits exceed 250 in number, and include: - Theatre: 'A Smashing Day'; 'Close the Coalhouse Door'; 'Trinity Tales'; 'The Fosdyke Saga' - Film: 'The Virgin and the Gypsy'; 'It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet'; 'Priest of Love' - Television: 'Z Cars'; 'The Beiderbecke Affair'; 'Barchester Chronicles'; 'The Fortunes of War'; 'A Very British Coup'; and, 'Campion' - Radio: 'Ted's Cathedral'; 'Tolpuddle'; 'The Journal of Vasilije Bogdanovic' - Books: 'The Beiderbecke Trilogy'; 'Misterioso'; 'Doggin' Around' He received numerous awards, most notably the BAFTA Writer's Award in 1988. He was made an Honorary D.Litt. of the University of Hull in 1985, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1985.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2015
    Jan 15 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 161st birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 7 to Jan. 11. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Alan Bradley, co-author of MS. HOLMES OF BAKER STREET (2004), and author of the award-winning "Flavia de Luce" series; the title of his talk was "Ha! The Stars Are Out and the Wind Has Fallen" (his paper will be published in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal). The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's Restaurant was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton and An- drew Joffe) entertained the audience with an updated version of "The Sher- lock Holmes Cable Network" (2000). The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Ser- pentine Muse last year: the winner (Jenn Eaker) received a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's traditional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportunities to browse and buy.

    Performing Sherlock : a study in studio and location realism Hewett, RJ Title Performing Sherlock : a study in studio and location realism Authors Hewett, RJ Type Book Section URL This version is available at: http://usir.salford.ac.uk/id/eprint/34863/ Published Date 2018 USIR is a digital collection of the research output of the University of Salford.

Please check the manuscript for any further copyright restrictions. For more information, including our policy and submission procedure, please contact the Repository Team at: [email protected]. Performing Sherlock: A Study in Studio and Location Realism Given his status as one of literature’s most popular creations, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes – usually accompanied by his faithful chronicler, Doctor Watson - has been less ubiquitous on British television screens than might be imagined. Having debuted in 1951, played by Andrew Osborn in The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone (BBC), the Baker Street sleuth returned a few months later in the guise of Alan Wheatley for a series of six live plays. Viewers then had to wait until 1965 for a home-grown run of episodes,1 this time featuring Douglas Wilmer; when this production returned in 1968, it was Peter Cushing who donned the deerstalker. In 1984 Granada’s series saw Jeremy Brett injecting a seven per cent solution in the long-running and popular production, but following Brett’s death in 1995 there were few attempts to revive Holmes in the UK, and audiences had to wait until 2010 for the character’s enormously successful 21st century reimagining in the form of Sherlock (BBC, 2010- ), starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

  • Review of Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes
    Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes, DVD Box set, 4 discs, London: BBC/BFI, 2015. BFIV2040; £39.99 Reviewed by John Keefe (London Metropolitan University, UK) The Literary London Journal, Volume 12 Number 1–2 (Spring/Autumn 2015) The recent BBC TV Timeshift documentary How To Be Sherlock Holmes—The Many Faces of a Master Detective (2015) traced the history of these faces from Sidney Paget’s original illustrations and William Gillette’s stage adaptation (1899), the first screen version (1900), through the various cinema and television Holmes (including Eille Norwood 1921, Basil Rathbone 1939, Peter Cushing 1959, Jeremy Brett 1985) to the most recent (Robert Downey Jnr 2009, Benedict Cumberbatch 2010). Across these adaptations and characterisations, we see a figure who remains rooted in his Victorian origins, is regarded as both a genesis and a template of what has become the fictional detective, and is a reflection of the social-cultural preoccupations that inform each adaptation. In this last, we see a theme true of all such adaptations and translations, with each mirroring the period of making as well as that of the setting. Thus this release of the surviving thirteen episodes of the Douglas Wilmer-Nigel Stock series from the mid-1960s reverts to the Victorian settings of the original (in contrast to the modernising of Holmes in the Universal Studios series or Sherlock of 2010) but adds a knowing humour taken further by Billy Wilder’s film of 1970. Similarly, the imagery of Holmes familiar to us from the Paget illustrations and now our received idea of Holmes with his pipes, deerstalker hat and caped coat are here but at the same time are played with as mannerisms that seem ‘out-of-joint’ against a background of contemporary pop music, fashions and social satire.
