  • 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.

KH: This is an interview on 10th November with David Simeon interviewed by Kate Harris. Can I just confirm that I have got your permission for copyright on this interview? DS: You do indeed, absolutely, yes. KH: That’s great, thank you. I would just like to start by asking you about the beginning of your career, how you became interested in working in the theatre. DS: My first knowledge that I was going to be an actor was when I was round about four years old, and I’ll tell you… My grandmother taught me how to read by the time I was two. OK, not Proust, but I could read by the time I got to infant school. I must tell you this story because it actually has a bearing on what happened later. When I got to infant school I was four and I could, as I said, already read and so I was terribly bored watching people put A, B, C and D up on the blackboard, and by the time I was about five, suddenly this horrible man came into the second form of the infants who turned out to be the headmaster of the primary school opposite and he ordered me out, took me across the road, put me on a dais in front of the whole of the primary school, and I was made to read from the Bible at the age of five.

  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

  • Comedy Is a Serious Business
    Comedy is a Serious Business ROBERT Wn..JTER' In Lecture form this paper was illustrated with video clips. These are noted beLow in boxes in the text. The actors' banter in Plautus' time has changed little over the centuries. Asides to the audience continue to be used in Shakespeare. In 1938 Rogers and Hart used the Comedy of Errors as a basis for the musical The Boys from Syracuse. The asides to the audience as a theme was repeated in the popular Frankie Howard series Up Pompeii, UK of the 1970s. In comedy, the continuity of tradition and content is possibly clearer than in any other theatrical form since it can be demonstrated not only in terms of plot and literary influence, but also in theatrical practice. The Oxford dictionary defines comedy as a Stage Play of light, amusing and often satirical character, chiefly representing everyday life, with a happy ending. A great deal of stress can be laid on 'timing' - the ability to know how long an audience can be kept waiting. Add to this the actors' gift to a 'live audience' which can direct the audience to anticipate the funny side of any given situation with gestures, emphasis on certain words and pacing, and is under the control of the actors. It is here that you have a very important ingredient for success in a stage production. Film and television have to have different base lines, since the judgement of how funny a scene is or could be is a very subjective matter, primarily because the director and editor essentially control * Robert Winter has worked as an editor with Eating Studios and Yorkshire TeLevision, and has enjoyed an extensive career in film and television.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION Charteris and His Work Every Year the UK Crime
    1 INTRODUCTION Charteris and His Work Every year the UK Crime Writers' Association holds its prestigious “Diamond Dagger” ceremony. The Diamond Dagger is awarded annually to crime writers whose careers have been marked by sustained excellence, and who have made a significant contribution to crime fiction published in the English language. Winners have included Ian Rankin, Eric Ambler, John le Carré and Ruth Rendell. On 7 May 1992 the Chairman of the Association presented the Diamond Dagger to the 84-year old Leslie Charteris, whose fiction featuring the gentleman warrior, vigilante adventurer and modern knight-errant Simon Templar, known as the Saint, first appeared in 1928 and is still being published today. Outperforming both heroes and villains and a destroyer of society's enemies for decades, the central protagonist of Charteris’ twelve novels, thirty-four novellas and twelve volumes of short stories excelled in popularity. As Clive Bloom has warned, figures relating to book sales, at least in Britain, “must always be approached with considerable caution,”1 but based on known editions and reprints, publishers’ remarks and information from Charteris’ letters, it has been estimated that Charteris’ sales have topped forty million.2 While small in relation to the huge output and marketing of authors like the early twentieth-century thriller writer Edgar Wallace, or the famous Agatha Christie whose sales run into billions, Charteris’ sales record for his more modest output remains very substantial. Publication of his fiction tailed off in the 1980s, but from December 2012 Mulholland Books at Hodder and Stoughton commenced republication of thirty-five Saint titles.
