  • Tim Brooke-Taylor Very Brief TIM Was Born in Buxton, Derbyshire
    Tim Brooke-Taylor Very Brief TIM was born in Buxton, Derbyshire. His father was a solicitor, his mother a Lacrosse International and his maternal grandfather, a parson who played centre forward for England in the 1890’s. At Cambridge, as a result of a promise he made to the Derbyshire Education Committee, he joined the Footlights Club and became president. His colleagues included John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. Tim is probably best known as one of ‘the Goodies’ and he has just returned from Australia where the goodies did a sell-out tour. He has been part of the radio programme ‘I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue’ since the beginning in 1972. He is a passionate supporter of Derby County. Tim Brooke-Taylor Not so brief TIM was born in Buxton, Derbyshire. His father was a solicitor, his mother a Lacrosse International and his maternal grandfather, a parson who played centre forward for England in the 1890’s. After a bad educational start - he was expelled from his first school at the age of five and a half - he went to various schools in Buxton and then on to Winchester College. Before going to Cambridge he taught at two private schools - one in Hemel Hempstead and the other, one of his old schools in Buxton, Holm Leigh - but only subjects he knew very little about. In 1960 he began an Economics and Law degree course at Pembroke College, Cambridge and, as a result of a promise he made to the Derbyshire Education Committee in return for a grant, he joined the Footlights Revue Club.

  • Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities first edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Bill Oddie OBE This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Lancashire’s countryside has much to offer; from the gritstone fells of the Forest of Bowland to the sand dunes of the Sefton Coast. There are some great opportunities to view wildlife too, including red squirrels and hen harriers. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future. Published in Summer 2014 Using the Directory Throughout the Directory you will see some symbols. These are to help you see what kind of facilities or information is available.

On eof the discoveries - Episode 3, of the first series of At Last the 1948 Show (tx. 1/3/1967) will be screened at the Radio Times Festival at Hampton Court on 25 September. The programme features a legendary sketch which John Cleese considers one of his best, The Bookshop; Cleese plays an exasperated shop owner dealing with the increasingly surreal requests for books by a very demanding Marty Feldman (Copperfield with one ‘p’). At Last the 1948 Show is a landmark in British television comedy. The extraordinary early flowering of its surreal, British humour led to the creation by some of the same team of the Monty Python programmes two years later.

  • Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC
    Networks of Nature: Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC Gail Davies Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted 1997 Awarded 1998 University College London Gail Davies Phd: Networks of nature Abstract In May 1953 the first natural history television programme was broadcast from Bristol by naturalist Peter Scott and radio producer Desmond Hawkins. By 1997 the BBC's Natural History Unit has established a global reputation for wildlife films, providing a keystone of the BBC's public service broadcasting charter, playing an important strategic role in television scheduling and occupying a prominent position in a competitive world film market. The BBC's blue-chip natural history programmes regularly bring images of wildlife from all over the globe to British audiences of over 10 million. This thesis traces the changing aesthetics, ethics and economics of natural history film-making at the BBC over this period. It uses archive material, interviews and participant observation to look at how shifting relationships between broadcasting values, scientific and film-making practices are negotiated by individuals within the Unit. Engaging with vocabularies from geography, media studies and science studies, the research contextualises these popular representations of nature within a history of post-war British attitudes to nature and explores the importance of technology, animals and conceptions of the public sphere as additional actors influencing the relationships between nature and culture. This history charts the construction of the actor networks of the Natural History Unit by film- makers and broadcasters as they seek to incorporate and exclude certain practices, technologies and discourses of nature.
