The most dramatic aspect of Liverpool has always been best viewed from the Mersey. It is, of course, the UNESCO listed waterfront with its ‘three graces’: the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building which together form one of the world’s most well-recognised skylines. Liverpool’s docks were once among the busiest anywhere and the Albert Dock remains so, though now it is home to thriving bars, restaurants and shops, upmarket apartments and the Tate art gallery rather than ocean-going ships.

Welcome to the first newsletter of the new year and a big hello to all the new supporters who have joined us over the last few months. We are so grateful to those who sent us Christmas cards, they were greatly appreciated and such lovely words! Did anyone spot the recent news about efforts to save the ruin of The National Picture House cinema in Hull, destroyed by German bombs during the Blitz? All 150 people inside watching The Great Dictator survived. Plans are under way to make the ruin safe for children to visit. This month we bring you a very special DVD release. For the first time ever, the entire series of STAGECOACH WEST is available as a box set with optional subtitles. That’s all 38 episodes, in an 8-DVD Box Set. It’s such a good series, starring Wayne Rogers, Richard Eyer and Robert Bray, with guest stars including James Coburn, DeForest Kelley, Robert Vaughn, Hazel Court, Beverly Garland and James Drury. Good news for Old Mother Riley fans! On pages 22-23 there’s news of seven ‘lost’ films to be shown on Talking Pictures TV, the first on Friday 22nd January at 7:50am, after an Old Mother Riley documentary. A little-known fact about Noël Coward is his involvement with the Actors Orphanage, which he championed and raised money for, bringing joy to the lives of many children.

  • Raymond Campbell
    Raymond Campbell School of Arts and Digital Industries University of East London Title: Comic Cultures: commerce, aesthetics and the politics of stand-up performance in the UK 1979 to 1992 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. October 2016 Abstract This thesis represents the first Cultural Studies analysis of the 1980s entertainment form commonly known as ‘alternative comedy’, which emerged against the backdrop of social, industrial and political unrest. However, the use of the term ‘alternative comedy’ has obscured a diverse movement that contained many different strands and tendencies, which included punk poets, street performers, chansonniers and improvising double acts. This thesis goes some way to addressing the complex nature of this entertainment space by recognising the subtle but important differences between New Variety and alternative cabaret. Alternative cabaret was both a movement and an entertainment genre, while New Variety grew out of CAST’s theatre work and was constructed in opposition to Tony Allen’s and Alexei Sayle’s Alternative Cabaret performance collective. Taken together, alternative cabaret and New Variety comprise one part of the alternative space that also includes post-punk music, and were the cultural expressions of the 1980s countercultural milieu. Alternative cabaret and New Variety were the products of cultural change. Each genre has its roots in the countercultural movements of the 1960s and 1970s and it was the knowledge that agents had acquired through participation in these movements that helped to shape their political-aesthetic dispositions or their weltanschauunng. As well as political activism, rock music influenced performers and promoters and contributed much to their art.
