  • Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
    Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light.

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society. If you are in production or development and would like other ideas for diverse presenters across all genres please feel free to get in touch with Mary Fitzpatrick Editorial Executive, Diversity via email: [email protected] Diverse On Screen Talent Directory Presenter Biographies Biographies Ace and Invisible Presenters, 1Xtra Category: 1Xtra Agent: Insanity Artists Agency Limited T: 020 7927 6222 W: www.insanityartists.co.uk 1Xtra's lunchtime DJs Ace and Invisible are on a high - the two 22-year-olds scooped the gold award for Daily Music Show of the Year at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards. It's a just reward for Ace and Invisible, two young south Londoners with high hopes who met whilst studying media at the Brits Performing Arts School in 1996. The 'Lunchtime Trouble Makers' is what they are commonly known as, but for Ace and Invisible it's a story of friendship and determination.

  • David Mason Response to the Future of Children's Programming
    The Future of Children’s TV 1. Introduction Page 2 2. What’s the purpose of Children’s TV? Page 2 3. BBC Children’s Television Failings Page 2 4. Recommendations Page 4 5. Conclusion Page 4 Appendix A Page 5 Appendix B Page 7 Appendix C Page 8 Appendix D Page 10 1 1. Introduction In response to the OFCOM consultation of 3rd October 2007 Children's TV is in crisis. But why does anyone care? Why would it matter if children's television disappeared completely? Is this just about losing jobs in an industry, or is it an issue of providing an important and worthwhile service to young people and therefore to society as a whole? 2. What’s the purpose of Children’s TV? There is a children's TV crisis, and although the reason is due in part to advertising restrictions that doesn't in any way excuse the BBC's shoddy treatment of children detailed in this submission to OFCOM. Jocelyn Hay, from the Voice of the Listener and Viewer, told BBC News 24 on 15 May 2007 that children need programmes made in this country, and pointed out that they "want to be entertained but they also have a right to information, to educational programmes, live programmes, programmes that reflect their own rich heritage of speech, language, culture and their own environment and locations which help them to grow up to be informed citizens of this country, not of some mid-Atlantic fantasy world." Mrs Hay's statement goes to the heart of why it is so important that this country has our own good quality children's programmes.

  • Lindsey Russell Said: “The Most Daunting Part of This Challenge Has Always Been How Heavily We Are Relying on the Weather
    **EMBARGOED UNTIL 5:30PM THURSDAY 4 FEBRUARY** BLUE PETER’S LINDSEY RUSSELL ‘THE WAVE RUNNER’ TO ZORB THE IRISH CHANNEL FOR SPORT RELIEF Blue Peter’s Lindsey Russell, ‘The Wave Runner’, is to take on one of the programme’s most daring challenges yet. Relying on her own physical strength and at the mercy of the British weather, the 25 year old presenter – who has already run the London Marathon and completed the Swiss Army’s Mountain Marathon – will attempt to cross the Irish Channel in a 3 metre inflatable ball for Sport Relief 2016. Lindsey will embark from the beaches of Donaghadee (Northern Ireland) and head for the finish line at Portpatrick harbour (Scotland) with a mighty distance of 20 miles of open water between. Battling all the sea can throw at her, she’ll run the waves, take on the loneliness of night and face a mental battle like nothing she has experienced before. She will need all her courage, powers of endurance and a sea’s worth of stamina to complete this epic, world first, Blue Peter challenge. The task requires exceptional fitness, so Lindsey has been working hard to make sure she is at the top of her physical game, working closely with trainer, Professor Greg Whyte, who has previously prepared Davina McCall and David Walliams for their Sport Relief challenges. Lindsey will head to Northern Ireland for final preparations on 25 February. The challenge has never been done before but experts predict her incredible feat could take up to 14 hours – the same amount of time it would take to swim the distance.
