  • Annual Report for 2014/15
    ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2014/15 Chairman’s Report I must begin my report on a sombre note. In the death of Carol Halls last November we lost, not only a long-standing member of the Society but also a pillar of its very structure. Carol epitomised that urge to achieve and to overcome any obstacle. She continued to work for us to the very end despite bouts of poor health and periods in hospital. Those of us who worked with her over many years really do feel bereaved. I do not use the word "irreplaceable" lightly but she is. Our one consolation is that she suffers pain no more and is at eternal rest. I am writing this on March 18th. My desk-top calendar supplied by one of our corporate members, CPI, tells me that on this day in 1959 EMI discontinued the manufacture of 78 rpm singles. What great progress has been made since then in the reproduction and dissemination of live and recorded music! Our quality of life has, by and large, improved by similar leaps and bounds but I ask the question: are we any happier with our environment now than we were 30 or 40 years ago? It is true that much has improved - we have only to look at photographs of London buildings just after the Second World War to realise how dirty and harmful our air was then. However, we are not living in some kind of Utopia. There are many challenges to face. It is good to read in other sections of this report that The Finchley Society is grappling with bad planning applications and with a general indifference towards the environment.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

    I want all children in the East End, regardless of any financial, physical or learning difficulties, to have access to professional training normally only available to more affluent families. To keep young people away from gun and knife crime in the East End we must develop life skills and encourage dreams and aspirations. Anna Fiorentini The not for profit Anna Fiorentini Theatre & Film School opened in 2001 as a Prince’s Trust Business. Since then it has won three Business of London awards, a social Investor award and a Highly Commended Diversity in Business. Unique to the East End of London, the school has proved a great success, attracting children from many diverse cultural backgrounds and is fast becoming one of the most talked about ventures in London. With its dedication to providing the kind of first class education normally only found in more affluent areas and its all inclusive policy, the school has attracted the attention of the media and celebrities alike: "I am so pleased I am not starting again in showbiz! The talent I saw from this school was superb." Barbara Windsor "Anna, thank you for all your hard work in getting me funding for a place at your school.....Thank you too for getting me the audition for EastEnders and for believing in me." Belinda Owusu (Libby Fox, EastEnders) Three years ago in partnership with Equator Media, Anna Fiorentini set up City Academy, aimed at City Professionals who wish to use the performing arts as a creative outlet; a percentage of profits from this sister school go towards bursaries for children at the AF school.
