  • Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
    Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light.

  • Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!”
    Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!” Dr. Laurence Clark, North West Disability Arts Forum (Paper presented at the ‘Finding the Spotlight’ Conference, Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, 30th May 2003) Abstract Traditionally comedy involving disabled people has extracted humour from people’s impairments – i.e. a “functional limitation”. Examples range from Shakespeare’s ‘fool’ character and Elizabethan joke books to characters in modern TV sitcoms. Common arguments for the use of such disempowering portrayals are that “nothing is meant by them” and that “people should be able to laugh at themselves”. This paper looks at the effects of such ‘disabling comedy’. These include the damage done to the general public’s perceptions of disabled people, the contribution to the erosion of a disabled people’s ‘identity’ and how accepting disablist comedy as the ‘norm’ has served to exclude disabled writers / comedians / performers from the profession. 1. Introduction Society has been deriving humour from disabled people for centuries. Elizabethan joke books were full of jokes about disabled people with a variety of impairments. During the 17th and 18th centuries, keeping 'idiots' as objects of humour was common among those who had the money to do so, and visits to Bedlam and other 'mental' institutions were a typical form of entertainment (Barnes, 1992, page 14). Bilken and Bogdana (1977) identified “the disabled person as an object of ridicule” as one of the ten media stereotypes of disabled people. Apart from ridicule, disabled people have been largely excluded from the world of comedy in the past. For example, in the eighties American stand-up comedian George Carlin was arrested whilst doing his act for swearing in front of young disabled people.

  • The Northwest Passage
    THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE A guidebook to the rockclimbs of Q'emiln Park Post Falls, Idaho* With information on climbing traditions, natural history and environmental preservation. Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beauford Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. Stan Rogers Text and Topos - Rusty Baillie Photography, and rigging - Richard LeFrancis Computer layout design - Maxine Whiteside *This PDF has been reproduced from copies of the original pamphlets prepared by Rusty, Richard and Maxine. This is a work in progress, and the Post Falls Parks Department hopes to fill in some gaps, update, and further refine the text over time. Please let us know how we can make this publication a better resource for the climbing community! Updated 9/23/14 Climbing buddies Richard LeFrancis, left, and Rusty Baillie stand above the popular climbing walls at Q’emiln Park. The two have improved climbing and hiking in Post Falls. It took three or four full days to shape up each climbing route. Safety: While every effort has been made to keep this guide as accurate as possible, there can be no guarantee that all the information will be, or will remain, reliable. Leading in particular, especially with natural protection, involves significant risks. Sport climbs, though bolt protected, can include significant runouts, with the attendant risk of serious injury. Your primary trust should be in your own sound, conservative judgment. When in doubt - toprope! Your use of this rockclimbing guidebook indicates that you fully understand these risks and that you are assuming responsibility for your own safety.

Production and distribution • tv sitcom is essentially a ‘writer’s medium’; • although ‘stars’ are important, the characters they play are often more so; • in the US teams of writers v. in the UK, single or paired writers; • once successful, very long runs in the US v. much shorter seasons in the UK; • sitcom ideas have moved both ways across the Atlantic, but often it is easier for UK commentators to recognise those that go from the UK to the US (usually having to be changed to suit American tastes). Recently they have failed to make much impact (e.g. Men Behaving Badly, Coupling); • ‘live action’ shows have been used as the basis for animation (Bilko became Top Cat/Boss Cat, The Flintsones was based on a US family sitcom). The Simpsons has been by far the most successful ‘original’ animation series. 1 http://www.mediaculture-online.de • US shows are ‘syndicated’ across many channels and exported worldwide; • UK production contexts changed with the advent of Channel 4 and the rise of the ‘independent producer’ (sitcoms were the basis for the rise of new companies such as Hat Trick, Celador etc.).
