A rising prospect at Manchester City in the late 1950s – the inset shows Arthur captaining the cup-winning Manchester Boys All Schools team of 1954-5 – he joined a line-up of former City footballing greats comprising (from left) Alex Williams, Rex Grey, Gary Owen, Mike Summerbee, Fred Eyre, Tommy Booth, Paul Lake, Colin Bell, Tony Book, Peter Barnes and Joe Corrigan. Arthur’s own football career was cut short by injury, but not before he achieved the unique distinction of being signed for both Manchester City and Manchester United in the same season. In 1956 he played at full back in a City Reserves team that included nine full internationals, but the rigours of top-flight football took their toll on a knee injury sustained in a schools match, and he was forced to quit. ‘I was a greengrocer for a while,’ he says, ‘and then I joined BBC House Services in Manchester.’ But he has no regrets. He has fond memories of two BBC orchestra tours in particular, he still watches City when they’re at home, and more often than not the conversation during his visits comes round to the subject of football.

The manifesto for dramatic techniques innovated at BBC Television in the 1960s subsequently proved highly influential and is frequently cited in histories of British television drama (Caughie 2000, Cooke 2003, Hill 2007). The article called for the rejection of naturalism in television drama, and for new modernist forms to be created in its place. Kennedy Martin identified ‘nat’ television drama as deriving from nineteenth century theatrical traditions, complaining that it looked “to Ibsen and Shaw for guidance” (23).

    OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report The East Coast Tidal Surge of 5th December 2013 Lincolnshire Resilience Forum’s Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report 20th March 2014 1 OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report Foreword On Thursday 5th December 2013 a deepening pressure system combined with high astronomical tides and strong to gale force ‘north westerly’ winds to generate a coastal surge along the whole of the east coast of England, the largest surge since the ‘great storm’ of 1953. Due to advances in surge forecasting, flood prediction and contingency planning at national, sub-national and local levels we were able to ‘get ahead’ of the storm. From Tuesday 3rd December partners began deploying one of the largest multi-agency emergency response and recovery operations ever conducted in Lincolnshire. This included the most significant evacuation operation in recent memory, the rescue of a number of people who became isolated by floodwaters, and work to ensure critical services were maintained and damaged infrastructure quickly repaired. Thankfully there were only 3 (relatively minor) casualties as a result of the surge, but more than 720 residential and commercial properties were inundated from the resultant overtopping and breach of defences. I would like to pass on my sympathy and support to those whose households and businesses flooded. We continue to work to support a full community recovery, and I commend the work of colleagues at Boston Borough Council who have led this work. In the circumstances this was a very good, forecast-led response and recovery effort.

  • Hnh ENGINEERING
    HnHENGINEERING OVERVIEW 1991 has been a productive and rewarding year for Engineers throughout the Corporation. Important projects that have come to fruition include the Broadcasting Centre at Southampton, the Blackstaff development in Belfast, the Millbank parliamentary broadcasting facility, the new Manchester vehicle maintenance base, Television Centre Stage V, Skelton C HF station, and many more, as detailed in the following pages. The year will also be remembered for notable progress on the digital front. The new D3 digital video recorder is rapidly becoming established as the main post production machine, and high quality digital stereo television sound is now available to more than 70% of the BBC's audience via NlCAM 728. However the most notable 'digital event' of 1991 could turn out to be the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) demon- strations that we mounted in Birmingham in July. These demonstrations showed that DAB can deliver CD-quality digital sound to fixed, portable, or car receivers, even in inhospitable reception areas. Some difficulties remain to be overcome, including the need to get agreement on a frequency assignment for new DAB radio services. Nevertheless, most of those attending the demonstrations were convinced that they had witnessed a major technical advance in sound broad- casting, whose introduction cannot long be delayed. TRANSMISSIO TRANSMISSION OPERATIONS As a result of the Broadcasting Act, the transmission responsibilities previously discharged by the IBA United Kingdom have been taken over by a private company, National Skelton C, opened in May 1991 by Mark Transcommunications Limited (NTL).

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.

  • Stylised Worlds: Colour Separation Overlay in BBC Television Plays of the 1970S
    Stylised Worlds: Colour Separation Overlay in BBC Television Plays of the 1970s Leah Panos Abstract This essay aims to understand and interrogate the use of Colour Separation Overlay (CSO) as a mode of experimental production and aesthetic innovation in television drama in the 1970s. It sets out to do this by describing, accounting for and evaluating CSO as a production technique, considering the role of key production personnel, and analysing four specific BBC productions. Deploying methodologies of archival research, practitioner interview, and close textual analysis, the essay also delivers a significant reassessment of the role of the producer and designer in the conceptualisation and realisation of small-screen dramatic fiction. Key words: studio, drama, single play, aesthetics, experimental, CSO, blue screen, designer The technique the BBC named Colour Separation Overlay (CSO), referred to as ‘Chromakey’ by ITV production companies and more commonly known as ‘blue screen’,1 was described by the author of a 1976 television writers’ training manual as ‘the biggest technological development in television in recent years’,2 and remains a principle underpinning contemporary special effects practice. This article will discuss the technique and identify some key figures within the TV industry who championed its use, whilst analysing a cycle of BBC dramas made during the 1970s and early 1980s that used CSO extensively. Although many programmes made during this period used this effect in some capacity, I will examine four aesthetically innovative, CSO-based BBC single plays which demonstrate two designers’ work with CSO: Eileen Diss designed the early CSO productions Candide (Play of the Month, TX: 16/02/73) and Alice Through the Looking Glass (TX: 25/12/73) and Stuart Walker subsequently developed a Critical Studies in Television, Volume 8, No.
