ST.GEORGE'S DAY-ENGLISHNESS 23 April 2005 Presented by Sandi Toksvig. Sandi Toksvig is joined by writers, James Fergusson and Richard Lewis , architectural historian, Gillian Darley and historian Simon Young , who all have a particular affinity for England rooted in contrasting experiences. James Fergusson - Writer James has written as a freelance journalist for many magazines and newspapers, covering current affairs in Europe, North Africa, Central Asia and elsewhere. In 1998-2000 he was spokesman in Bosnia for the civilian peace-keeping force. Just out in paperback is his book " Kandahar Cockney: A Tale of Two Worlds " published by Perennial, ISBN 0007156979, which tells of a friendship between the author and his Pashtun interpreter. Gillian Darley, Architectural Historian Gillian is speaking about the BT Tower, one of London's iconograpic structures. She is the author of many books, including " John Soane: An Accidental Romantic " published by Yale University Press ISBN: 0300086954 and " Factory (Objekt) " published by Reaktion Books Ltd, ISBN: 1861891555. She appears regularly on television and contributes to the Financial Times and The Times Literary Supplement. Richard Lewis - Writer Richard was a business journalist at The Bookseller magazine. He has previously published the bestselling " The Encyclopaedia of Cult Children's TV " published by Allison & Busby, ISBN 0749005297 and articles in numerous magazines. As a musician he has written for film, theatre, dance and poetry. " The Magic Spring: My Year Learning to Be English " published by Atlantic Books, ISBN 1843543079, seeks to dispel myths about English traditions and tell the story of their creation. Simon Young - Historian Simon is the author of many academic articles. He has also written about the Dark Ages for History Today , The Spectator , and The Guardian . He combines a commitment to serious history, especially that of the medieval Celts, with a desire to communicate Dark Age history to the general public. Next week : The Himalayas.

THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CAPTAIN SCARLET by Chris Bentley © Carlton Books Limited 2001 Published by Carlton Books Limited. Superb book by former Fanderson chairman Chris Bentley - a sequel to his earlier work "The Complete Book Of Thunderbirds ". Continuing the story of the Supermarionation series, this book chronicles the production of the predecessor to Joe 90 . Four pages on Joe 90 , including some very nice behind the scenes shots. GERRY ANDERSON'S SUPERMARIONATION CROSS-SECTIONS by Graham Bleathman Additional writing by Sam Denham (a.k.a. Sam Mitchell) © Carlton Books Limited 2001 Published by Carlton Books Limited. The sequel to Graham's book "Thunderbirds FAB Cross-Sections", this large format hardback covers Fireball XL5 to Joe 90 , with plenty of cutaway drawings of both vehicles and locations. It also includes Thunderbirds 1 to 5, lifted in their entirety from "Thunderbirds FAB Cross- Sections" - a bit of a rip-off considering the asking price. Six pages on Joe 90 , including cutaways of Mac's Car and the cottage (but not Sam Loover's car). Sadly, a small picture of Sam is wrongly captioned as Professor Ian McClaine, but we all make mistakes. Printed in Italy, 48 pages, £14.99. THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF CULT CHILDREN'S TV by Richard Lewis © Richard Lewis 2001 Published by Allison & Busby Limited. Deep joy. A book on cult TV written by someone with a sense of humour. Richard Lewis gives us the lowdown on a vast swathe of cult programmes, characters and much more. Generally covers shows from 1960 to 1988, and has its tongue firmly in its cheek from start to finish. Joe 90 gets a pretty complimentary write-up, and I'll forgive Richard for misspelling McClaine , because the rest of the book is such fun. Genuine laugh-out-loud stuff. Buy it! 354 pages, £9.99 (hardback) £7.99 (paperback) WHAT MADE THUNDERBIRDS GO! THE AUTHORISED BIOGRAPHY OF GERRY ANDERSON by Simon Archer & Marcus Hearn © Marcus Hearn and the estate of Simon Archer 2002 Published by BBC Worldwide Limited. An updating of Gerry Anderson The Authorised Biography from 1996, but much more that that. Marcus Hearn has jettisoned all of Stan Nicholls' work and gone back to Simon Archer's original manuscript, adding his own material from new interviews. It is effectively a complete rewrite, and is all the better for it. Just over six pages on Joe 90 , and one shot of Joe in the Rat Trap. And I get a nod in the author's acknowledgements, so it can't be bad! THE COMPLETE GERRY ANDERSON THE AUTHORISED EPISODE GUIDE by Chris Bentley © Chris Bentley 2003 Published by Reynold & Hearn Ltd 2003. A mammoth effort by Mr. Bentley, this behemoth covers just about everything Gerry Anderson has ever made, from the time before The Adventures Of Twizzle right up to New Captain Scarlet . The guide details every episode and feature film, with synopses, cast and crew lists, transmission details, mistakes, and plenty more. A few minor errors have crept in, but considering the scope of the book they are few and far between. Time to burn The Complete Gerry Anderson Episode Guide at last! Joe 90 gets a whole twelve pages, and there are three very nice colour photographs from the series. Excellent. Printed in England, 288 pages, £15.99. CAPTAIN SCARLET & JOE 90 + THE SECRET SERVICE Published by Asahi Sonorama 2005. From by the same people as the highly collectable "big pink book", this is very much a sibling publication - not as many pages, but a similar idea. This time just concentrating on the last three Supermarionation series, it features a multitude of images of the characters and vehicles, plus a good smattering of interesting behind-the-scenes shots. With more than forty pages on Joe 90 , this is the next best thing to having something big and pink. On your bookshelf. Printed in Japan (Japanese text), 128 pages, ¥2190. CULT TV THE GOLDEN AGE OF ITC by Robert Sellers © Robert Sellers 2006 Published by Plexus Publishing Limited. Intelligently written and fascinating look at nearly three decades of ITC Entertainment. Features interviews with almost fifty of the stars, creators and technicians involved in shows from The Adventures Of Robin Hood to Sapphire And Steel , with a foreword by Sir Roger Moore and an afterword by Gerry Anderson MBE. Every Anderson series from Supercar to Space:1999 is covered. Joe 90 gets four pages, but I must disagree with the author's criticism that "the puppets themselves are a bit of a letdown after the brilliant near-realism of Captain Scarlet ." Actually Robert, all but a handful of the puppets originally appeared in Scarlet . What happened in 1971? - UK. We look at events, new products, films, music and fashion from 1971. In the news. 20 January - Four Red Arrows pilots died after a mid-air crash at RAF Kemble. 15 February - Britain introduced decimal currency on D-Day or Decimal Day. Education Secretary, Margaret Thatcher, stopped the supply of school milk to children aged seven to eleven, earning her the title 'Thatcher Milk Snatcher'. On 25 April BOAC (the forerunner to British Airways) 747 jumbo jets flew for the first time. Industrial disputes had kept them on the ground since the beginning of the year. Violence continued to escalate in Northern Ireland. In 1971, 170 people died. The most notorious incident, known as 'Bloody Sunday', was in January of the following year. On 31 October the IRA detonated a bomb in the Post Office Tower, London. In London work began on the Fleet Underground Line. It was finally opened in 1979 as the Jubilee Line. The minimum age to ride a motorcycle in the UK was raised from sixteen to seventeen. The trial of Oz Magazine for obscenity began in 1971. Editors Richard Neville, Felix Dennis and Jim Anderson were charged with conspiracy to corrupt public morals. They were found guilty to lesser charges and sentenced to imprisonment. All three later successfully appealed. The experiment with British Standard Time - BST (British Summer Time all year round) was dropped. Britain returned to GMT and BST as we have today. Watneys launched Watneys Red. In the same year, CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale was founded. The Open University first broadcast in January 1971. Facts. 1971 Census showed that the population of the UK was 55,346,551. Average pay for male manual worker: £30.98.

    Petitions Committee Oral evidence: E-petition session: TV Licensing, HC 1233 Monday 1 March 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 March 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Catherine McKinnell (Chair); Tonia Antoniazzi; Jonathan Gullis. Other Members present: Rosie Cooper; Damian Collins; Gill Furniss; Gareth Bacon; Jamie Stone; Ben Bradley; Tahir Ali; Brendan Clarke-Smith; Allan Dorans; Virginia Crosbie; Mr Gregory Campbell; Simon Jupp; Jeff Smith; Huw Merriman; Chris Bryant; Mark Eastwood; Ian Paisley; John Nicolson; Chris Matheson; Rt Hon Mr John Whittingdale OBE, Minister for Media and Data. Questions 1-21 Chair: Thank you all for joining us today. Today’s e-petition session has been scheduled to give Members from across the House an opportunity to discuss TV licensing. Sessions like this would normally take place in Westminster Hall, but due to the suspension of sittings, we have started holding these sessions as an alternative way to consider the issues raised by petitions and present these to Government. We have received more requests to take part than could be accommodated in the 90 minutes that we are able to schedule today. Even with a short speech limit for Back- Bench contributions, it shows just how important this issue is to Members right across the House. I am pleased to be holding this session virtually, and it means that Members who are shielding or self-isolating, and who are unable to take part in Westminster Hall debates, are able to participate. I am also pleased that we have Front-Bench speakers and that we have the Minister attending to respond to the debate today.

  • The Future of The
    The Future of Public Service Broadcasting Some thoughts Stephen Fry Before I can even think to presume to dare to begin to expatiate on what sort of an organism I think the British Broadcasting Corporation should be, where I think the BBC should be going, how I think it and other British networks should be funded, what sort of programmes it should make, develop and screen and what range of pastries should be made available in its cafés and how much to the last penny it should pay its talent, before any of that, I ought I think in justice to run around the games field a couple of times puffing out a kind of “The BBC and Me” mini‐biography, for like many of my age, weight and shoe size, the BBC is deeply stitched into my being and it is important for me as well as for you, to understand just how much. Only then can we judge the sense, value or otherwise of my thoughts. It all began with sitting under my mother’s chair aged two as she (teaching history at the time) marked essays. It was then that the Archers theme tune first penetrated my brain, never to leave. The voices of Franklin Engelman going Down Your Way, the women of the Petticoat Line, the panellists of Twenty Questions, Many A Slip, My Word and My Music, all these solid middle class Radio 4 (or rather Home Service at first) personalities populated my world. As I visited other people’s houses and, aged seven by now, took my own solid state transistor radio off to boarding school with me, I was made aware of The Light Programme, now Radio 2, and Sparky’s Magic Piano, Puff the Magic Dragon and Nelly the Elephant, I also began a lifelong devotion to radio comedy as Round The Horne, The Clitheroe Kid, I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again, Just A Minute, The Men from The Ministry and Week Ending all made themselves known to me.

LOOSE CANON ON DECK: HOW CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIANS REACT TO MEDIA PORTRAYALS OF FAITH, BELIEFS, AND RITUALS by MITCHELL L LEOPARD Under the Direction of Timothy Renick ABSTRACT Throughout much of Christian history, the church had predominant control over religious ritual and belief. As early as the 1st Century, institutions representing “orthodoxy” were banning, forbidding or destroying the “heretical”, separating it from what eventually would become canon and religious practice. The 21st Century provides new ways for spiritual knowledge to spread, bypassing traditional methods. Modern Martin Luthers can nail a manifesto to an internet door while the media’s obsession with non-canonical texts provides no shortage of material for movies and television. A multi-media barrage challenges orthodox concepts and scriptural definition, often blurring the line between religion and entertainment.
