Austerity, Affluence and Discontent in the United Kingdom, .1951-1979
AUSTERITY, AFFLUENCE AND DISCONTENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, .1951-1979 Part 5: “Love Thy Neighbour” Immigration and Race Relations, c. 1951–1979 Source 1: Black revellers confront the police during the 1976 Notting Hill Carnival riots 2 Austerity, Affluence and Discontent in the United Kingdom, c.1951–1979: Part 5 Introduction Before the Second World War there were very few non-white people living permanently in the UK, but there were 2 million by 1971. Two thirds of them had come from the Commonwealth countries of the West Indies, India, Pakistan and Hong Kong, but one third had been born in the UK. The Commonwealth was the name given to the countries of the British Empire. However, as more and more countries became independent from the UK, the Commonwealth came to mean countries that had once been part of the Empire. Immigration was not new. By the 1940s there were already black communities in port cities like Bootle in Liverpool and Tiger Bay in Cardiff. Groups of Chinese people had come to live in the UK at the end of the 19th century and had settled in Limehouse in London, and in the Chinatown in Liverpool. Black West Indians had come to the UK to fight in the Second World War. The RAF had Jamaica and Trinidad squadrons and the Army had a West Indian regiment. As a result there were 30,000 non-white people in the UK by the end of the war.1 The British people had also been very welcoming to the 130,000 African-American troops of the US Army stationed in the UK during the war.

Newsletter 158 Sept 2013
protecting and improving the environment Newsletter 158 Sept 2013 Inside: 40 years to celebrate... EDITORIAL The Civic Society is gearing up for its 40th Anniversary celebrations. You will find an invitation to join in on page 19 – please do come along! In this issue, we have compiled a diverse mixture of news, views and reports, along with a fascinating insight into the history of the Civic Society. Karen Attwood - - - - - - - - - - - - A DAY TO REMEMBER The latest blue plaque unveiling was somewhat different from the previous ones. Maybe because this time the daughter of the person being commemorated was the big draw for many local people! After all, it isn't very often that a currently famous Hollywood star, English born, pays a visit to Beeston, accompanied by a host of other film and theatrical notables. Kate Beckinsale came to unveil a blue plaque to her actor father the late Richard Beckinsale, star of Rising Damp and Porridge, among others, on Thursday July 17th at College House Junior School, where he was a former pupil. It was a day that will long be remembered locally, especially by the school staff and children. Judy Loe, Richard's widow, mother of Kate and a well known actress in her own right (and a particular favourite of mine) helped in the unveiling. Looking very attractive and much younger than her sixty odd years, she spoke about Richard, who tragically died at the age of thirty one, and her memories of him and his Beeston family. His sisters Judith 2 and Wendy and their families were also present.

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.

Oliver! (1968) AUDIENCE 82 Liked It Average Rating: 3.4/5 User Ratings: 55,441
Oliver! (1968) AUDIENCE 82 liked it Average Rating: 3.4/5 User Ratings: 55,441 Movie Info Inspired by Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist, Lionel Bart's 1961 London and Broadway musical hit glossed over some of Dickens' more graphic passages but managed to retain a strong subtext to what was essentially light entertainment. For its first half-hour or so, Carol Reed's Oscar-winning 1968 film version does a masterful job of telling its story almost exclusively through song and dance. Once nine- year-old orphan Oliver Twist (Mark Lester) falls in with such underworld types as pickpocket Fagin (Ron Moody) and murderous thief Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed), it becomes necessary to inject more and more dialogue, and the film loses some of its momentum. But not to worry; despite such brutal moments as Sikes' murder of Nancy (Shani Wallis), the film gets back on the right musical track, thanks in great part to Theatrical release poster by Howard Terpning (Wikipedia) Onna White's exuberant choreography and the faultless performances by Moody and by Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger. The supporting cast TOMATOMETER includes Harry Secombe as the self-righteous All Critics Mr. Bumble and Joseph O'Conor as Mr. Brownlow, the man who (through a series of typically Dickensian coincidences) rescues Oliver from the streets. Oliver! won six Oscars, 85 including Best Picture, Best Director, and a Average Rating: 7.7/10 Reviews special award to choreographer Onna White. ~ Counted: 26 Fresh: 22 | Rotten: 4 Hal Erickson, Rovi Top Critics G, 2 hr. 33 min. Drama, Kids & Family, Musical & Performing Arts, Classics, Comedy 60 Directed By: Carol Reed Written By: Vernon Harris Average Rating: 6/10 Critic Reviews: 5 Fresh: 3 | Rotten: 2 In Theaters: Dec 11, 1968 Wide On DVD: Aug 11, 1998 It has aged somewhat awkwardly, but the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment performances are inspired, the songs are [www.rottentomatoes.com] memorable, and the film is undeniably influential.

It has always been the philosophy of the school that we were a community like a family and that the school in its turn was part of the 'family' community of the village.

Theatre Archive Project: Interview with Arthur Millie
THEATRE ARCHIVE PROJECT http://sounds.bl.uk Arthur Millie – interview transcript Interviewer: Carys Williams 12 December 2008 Archivist, Salisbury Playhouse. Archival documents; A Streetcar Named Desire; audience; Christopher Biggins; censorship; Stephanie Cole; ENSA; interviews; Oh! What a Lovely War; programmes; repertory theatre; Leonard Rossiter; Reggie Salberg; Prunella Scales; Josephine Tewson; theatre conditions; theatre history; Waiting for Godot; Tim West; Kenneth Williams. This transcript has been edited by the interviewee and thus in places differs from the recording. CW: So as you are an archivist of the Salisbury theatre, would you like to begin by telling me a little bit about the background to the theatre? AM: It started off as a Methodist chapel, but gradually the people who had owned it, realised that it was falling around their ears. There [are] five underground streams in Sailsbury, and these streams unfortunately cause a lot of flooding – in fact [we have] various photographs of Fisherton Street flooded – and the chapel was falling to pieces, so [the Methodists decided that they] were going to move out. They didn’t know what to do with the building then, so they put it up for sale and a gentleman called Albany Ward, who was actually in the motor trade, bought it and didn’t do anything to do with cars, he turned it into a picture house, so it was one of the earliest cinemas in Salisbury. That was popular, like many other cinemas in Salisbury were popular, but again, because there were so many other cinemas, it stopped being a cinema. It was called the Picture House, and they opened the New Picture house next door, which is where the City Hall is! So then again, what to do with this building? The war started, and they decided to use it as a drill hall and an army recruitment centre, but it still wasn’t used terribly successfully.

Stand-Up Comedy and Everyday Life: Post-war British Comedy and the Subversive Strain. Christopher Ritchie. Goldsmiths College, London, Ph. D Drama, 1998. - ME Ia- AM GOLDSMITHS 87 0079879 6 Abstract. This thesis "examinee,,, its to life , . stand-up comedy and relation everyday and presents a model of everyday life in the commodity society. It seeks to define stand up comedy and how it works as a performance mode and will offer a definition of the stand-up comedian. It will examine how jokes reflect opinions and attitudes within everyday life and how they can communicate negative cultural myths, stereotypes and ideologies but also reach beyond the merely absurd and comical to present authentic moments that enable us to locate the truth about ourselves. The thesis seeks to locate a stand-up comedy that enables us to understand ourselves in relation to life in the commodity society. The thesis traces a subversive lineage through post-Second World War comedy from The Goon Show through the satirists of the 1960s and Monty Pylhon's Flying Circus to Alternative Comedy and stand-up comedians in the present day. The 'Alternative Comedy moment' between 1979 and 1981 is central to the thesis as is the relation to American stand-up comedy, Punk and the rise of reactionary humour in Britain. Alternative Comedy is identified and placed in a social, political and counter-cultural context. The achievements and failures of this comedy will be discussed with particular focus on the redefinition of the role of women and sexual politics in stand-up comedy and the creation of a thriving London cabaret and comedy scene.

The Story of Salisbury Playhouse
Salisbury Playhouse Written by Arthur Millie and Jane Ware In the beginning there was a chapel. This was built in Fisherton Street by the Primitive Methodists in 1869. They continued to worship there until in 1915, the trustees were informed that the building was unsafe due to damage caused by constant flooding. The premises were then sold to Mr. Albany Ward who reported that he wanted to convert the building into a garage. Considering that he was a great pioneer of motion pictures in Salisbury and the Methodists were not very enamoured with this new form of entertainment, it was rather naive of the trustees to believe him and it wasn’t very long before he had spent the vast sum of £700 converting the building into “The Picture House.” This cinema duly opened in December 1916 and it became very popular particularly after the Rank Organisation took it over. However, as many other larger cinemas opened up in the city a decline slowly set in and “The Picture House” closed its doors in September 1937 as “The New Picture House” opened next door! The Rank Organisation put the building up for sale but nobody wanted to buy it. However, as war was spreading throughout Europe, the military authorities were on the lookout for useful buildings to requisition and for a while the building was used as a Drill Hall for the Territorials and then as an Army Recruitment Centre. The old building needed rescuing and a saviour appeared in the form of Basil Dean who was in charge of ENSA (Entertainment and National Service Association).
