With scripts written by Galan and Simpson, who later went on to write Steptoe and Son, it is no wonder that the popularity is still as strong today as it ever was, and a recent poll in the Radio Times pronounced it as the most popular radio comedy series, no mean feat when you think of some of the other shows that have hit the airwaves and are detailed on this site!

  • Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari
    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Scotland’s Screen Sector Written submission from Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari 1. Introduction While it is important that the Scottish Parliament continues to investigate and monitor the state of the creative and screen industries in Scotland, the time has surely come for action rather than continued deliberation(s) The time has surely come when we need to stop having endless working parties and spending money on consultants trying to work out what to do. Remember the ‘Yes Minister’ Law of Inverse Relevance ‘ ‘The less you intend to do about something, the more you have to keep talking about it ‘ ‘Yes Minister’ Episode 1: Open Government Therefore, please note that we already know what to do. That is: 1.1 - Appoint the right people with the vision leadership and energy to succeed. 1.2 - Provide a positive legislative/strategic/policy framework for support. 1.3 - Provide better budgets and funding for investment and/or leverage for the same. (You already have access to the data on existing funding for projects and programmes of all kinds. If the Scottish Government wishes to help to improve performance in the screen sector, there will need to be a step change in investment. There is widespread agreement that more is needed.) 1.4 Give them space to get on with it. That is what happened with the National Theatre of Scotland. This is what happened with MG Alba. Both signal success stories. Do likewise with the Screen Industries in Scotland 2. Context Some ten years ago the Scottish Government established the Scottish Broadcasting Commission.

He has received widespread acclaim for his ‘invisible’ acting and ‘unshowy’ performances. This article provides insights into Davis’ approach to and view on the process of acting via a transcribed interview that was conducted as the closing keynote of the ‘Acting on Television: Analytical Methods and Approaches’ symposium hosted at the University of Reading on the 8 April 2016. This material is framed by a contextualising introduction that provides an overview of Davis’ work and proposes that John Flaus’ (1992) concept of lamprotes is useful for understanding Davis’ acting.

  • Nigel Kneale's
    Nigel Kneale’s The Year of the Sex Olympics Directed by Michael Elliott Starring Leonard Rossiter, Suzanne Neve and Brian Cox DVD release on 20 April 2020 First broadcast by the BBC on 29 July 1968, The Year of the Sex Olympics is one of the most original pieces of television drama ever written, foreshadowing both the likes of Big Brother and Love Island and the sexualisation of digital space. Unavailable on DVD for many years, on 20 April 2020 it will be re-released by the BFI in a new edition with a host of accompanying extras including a feature-length audio commentary by actor Brian Cox and Nigel Kneale in conversation. Also on the disc is Le Pétomane (1973), a short comedy biopic of Joseph Pujol, starring Leonard Rossiter and written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson (Hancock’s Half Hour and Steptoe and Son). Nigel Kneale’s eerily prescient drama is set in a future when society is split into two strata. The low-drives are the passive majority, mentally anaesthetised by an incessant diet of TV consisting largely of pornography. Television, and by extension the populace, is controlled by the high-drives, an educated class engaged in a perpetual quest for better ratings and audience subjugation. But when the low-drives become increasingly uninterested in the programming on offer, production executive Ugo Priest (Leonard Rossiter, Rising Damp, The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin) and his team happen upon a new concept: reality TV. The Year of the Sex Olympics was originally broadcast in colour. At some point after that single broadcast, the original colour tapes were erased and all that remains is a black- and-white 16mm telerecording which has been remastered by the BBC for this release.

  • Harry H Corbett
    HARRY H CORBETT Many actors start well but then accept a particular role on television and so get typecast. Harry H Corbett was one of them. After a rather indifferent start in life he trained as an actor, using the Method approach, and up to the early sixties was regarded as one of the most impressive up-and-coming classical actors. Then in 1961 he appeared on television in a forerunner comedy to a series, playing Harold Steptoe. It developed into Steptoe and Son, one of the biggest comedy serials in BBC history. He lived the last ten years of his life at Penhurst, where he is buried in the churchyard. Harry Corbett (1925-82) was born in Rangoon, Burma, the youngest of seven children of a Quartermaster Sergeant in the South Staffordshire Regiment, a professional soldier who had survived two wounds and a gassing in the First World War. His mother died (of dysentery, common enough in Burma) when he was only 18 months old, and he was sent to live with an aunt in Manchester, living in a poor area in Ardwick. (His father, having retired to Staffordshire, died there in 1943.) He went to secondary school because although he passed the tests for entry to the local grammar school, his aunt could not afford the expense. Leaving school at 14, he had various jobs: greengrocer’s errand boy, plumber’s mate, plastics moulder, male nurse and car sprayer. When he attained the right age, in 1942, he joined the Royal Marines, serving first at Scapa Flow and in the Atlantic, and was part of the crew delivering the exiled Norwegian royal family back to Oslo in May 1945.

Things were looking good when they starred together in the critically acclaimed sitcom Phoenix Nights which Spikey wrote along with Kay and Neil Fitzmaurice , and things continued to be rosy even after the show ended when Spikey and Kay became a bit of a double act. Comedy award- nominated in , this trio duly lost their sole female member, Sophie Black, and devolved into a male-male double act, Cardinal Burns. Every adolescent in the s wanted to have a friend like Cory or Shawn. Rarely has entertainment felt so effortless and comforting. Their friendship was groundbreaking and was the first time two female leads were such a focal point of a sitcom. We were surrounded by all these people who were gossiping. Elizabeth Gilbert. Nor do I mean their discovery of Noel Coward overtones in the oeuvre of Lily Allen, much as I like the music they make to prove the point. As Morecambe and Wise made explicit by sharing a bed in their TV show, the double-act is an extremely intimate, co- dependent relationship, analogous to a sexual or romantic one.

  • Steptoe and Son Explored Through Fine Art: New Exhibition at UAL CSM - UAL News
    Steptoe and Son explored through fine art: new exhibition at UAL CSM - UAL News COURSES COLLEGES News Share Steptoe and Son explored through fine art: new exhibition at UAL CSM Tweet May 23, 2016 University of Arts London PhD Fine Art graduate, Dean Kelland, explores masculinity in post-war British sitcom in a new free public exhibition at UAL Central Saint Martins this week. Flawed Masculinities: “Rupturing” 1950s/60s/70s British TV Sitcom is on display in The Crossing, UAL Central Saint Martins Granary Square from 24-29 May 2016. The Englishman’s Panacea (Performance Film Still) – Dean Kelland Much like Grayson Perry, UAL’s Chancellor, in his recent show All Man, Dean Kelland, UAL graduate and Birmingham based artist, explores concepts of masculine identity. In this latest exhibition, his sketchbooks show how he explores failure as a central quality of male cultural icons from post-war British sitcoms using multi-media in his artwork. His work The Englishman’s Panacea which features himself in character as Harold Steptoe from the comedy classic sitcom Steptoe and Son will be screened as part of the exhibition. Dean Kelland commented: “Steptoe was one the many male figures that were part of a cyclical pattern of failure, where the root of the comedy came from. I wanted to explore this notion and what it means for masculinity.” In this work, Kelland stands before a mirror in what is seemingly his morning ritual. Referencing Samuel Beckett’s plays Waiting for Godot and Film, the action is repeated with each new manifestation taking us further into the identity of Steptoe whilst simultaneously investigating the mechanics of performance and portraits of masculinity.
