The film follows the adventures of a group of music students who move into a shared London flat in order to cut costs and have somewhere to practice their instruments. Things get tricky when one student accidentally sells a composition to an advertising agency and risks losing his scholarship. Can he and his friends find a way to raise the money to buy back the song rights? Slightly more highbrow humour than a ‘Carry On’, but no less hilarious.

  • Case Study 1 : the Caesars (1968)
    Case study 1 : The Caesars (1968) As noted, the history of ITV programming has had mixed reviews and scholars have criticised that ‘offi cial histories of British broadcasting . have depicted the emergence and impact of ITV in rather damning tones’, failing to acknowledge that ‘the history of ITV programming is also one of innovation and experimentation’ ( Wheatley, 2003 : 76). The Caesars is an excellent example of this. It not only demonstrates that ITV could indeed produce high-quality drama, but also features a number of innovative techniques successfully applied in later series, such as BBC ’ s I, Claudius . Wheatley ( 2003 : 79) also suggests a signifi cant change in ITV programming during the period in which The Caesars was produced, from ‘the entertainment culture . of the 1950s and early 1960s . to a journalistic culture in the later 1960s and 1970s’. I will argue that this ‘journalistic culture’ is also refl ected in The Caesars , which can be read as a critical commentary of contemporary politics in addition to being an entertaining piece of historical drama. As mentioned in Part I , stories regarding the Roman Empire provided particularly ample scope for an allegorical critique of the politics of any given time and this case study is no exception. The six-part television series The Caesars was produced by Granada Television for ITV, featuring as its subject matter the period between Emperor Augustus ’ s death and Claudius ’ s accession to the throne. Written by Philip Mackie, it draws heavily on classical sources, primarily Suetonius ’ s The Twelve Caesars . According to the Daily Telegraph , Mackie insisted that ‘every happening was submitted to research with similar care’ ( Clayton, 1968a ).

    James Bond From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who James Bond featured him in twelve novels and two short­story collections. Since Fleming's death in 1964, eight other authors have written authorised Bond novels or novelizations: Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, Jeffery Deaver, William Boyd and Anthony Horowitz. The latest novel is Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz, published in September 2015. Additionally Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny. The character has also been adapted for television, radio, comic strip, video games and film. The films are the longest continually running film series of all time and have grossed over $7.040 billion in total, making it the fourth­highest­grossing film series to date, which started in 1962 with Dr. No, starring Sean Connery as Bond. As of 2017, there have been twenty­four films in the Eon Productions series.

  • British Horror Cinema
    Running head recto i British Horror Cinema Horror is one of the most popular and talked-about film genres and yet British horror films, aside from those made by Hammer, have received little critical attention. British Horror Cinema investigates a wide range of horror film-making in Britain, from early chillers like The Ghoul and Dark Eyes of London to modern classics such as Witchfinder General and The Wicker Man. Contributors explore the contexts in which British horror films have been censored and classified, judged by critics and consumed by fans. Uncovering neglected gems like Death Line, and addressing issues such as the representation of women and the family, they consider the Britishness of British horror and examine sub-genres such as the psycho-thriller and witchcraft movies, the work of the Amicus studio, and key film-makers including Pete Walker. British Horror Cinema also features a comprehensive filmography and contributions from contemporary horror directors Clive Barker and Richard Stanley. Contributors: Brigid Cherry, Steve Chibnall, Ian Conrich, Leon Hunt, Peter Hutchings, Mark Kermode, Kim Newman, Marcelle Perks, Julian Petley, Steven Jay Schneider, L.S. Smith, Richard Stanley, John C. Tibbetts, Paul Wells. Editors: Steve Chibnall is Principal Lecturer in Film Studies at De Montfort University, Leicester.

    Green, John Paul (2007) From Bringland With Love: National Identity and James Bond. In: Das kleine Bond Buch: From Cultural Studies With Love. Schuren Press, Germany, pp. 27-41. ISBN 978-3-89472-499-3 Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/4767/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. John Paul Green From Bringland With Love: National Identity and James Bond “Bond knew that there was something alien and un-English about himself. He knew that he was a difficult man to cover up. Particularly in England. He shrugged his shoulders. Abroad was what mattered”. (Fleming, 1955, p. 40). Claiming to be British in the twenty-first century can be both confusing and contentious. I am English, I am British and I’m also from the United Kingdom. Some of my colleagues also fall into the latter two categories, hailing from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Many find that the term Britishness denies them a sense of national identity as they believe that when one talks of being British, what is really being suggested, is that they are referring to “being English”. Pinning down Englishness is in itself a very difficult task. For many, Englishness is interchangeable with Britishness, leaving little distinction for Welsh, Irish or Scottish aspects of the United Kingdom. Indeed, while Fleming’s own preference for the cinematic Bond was Cary Grant, the very image of the English gentlemen, the role went to a Scot. As Lewis Smith highlighted in a recent article in The Times newspaper “Fleming’s first choice was Cary Grant… Others on Fleming’s 1961 list of actors with the right faces were David Niven, James Mason, Patrick McGoohan, Rex Harrison, Richard Burton and Stewart Grainger… Connery failed to make the list and Fleming had serious misgivings about him…” (The Times, March 6th 2007 p.
