  • An Impossible Task? Scripting the Chilian Club
    Chapter 5 An Impossible Task? Scripting The Chilian Club Andrew Spicer Introduction This chapter will explore the multifarious drafting and redrafting of scripts and full screenplays for a film based on George Shipway’s controversial political satire The Chilian Club (1971), the story of a quartet of elderly assassins – former army officers – who believe they are saving their country from Communist subversion. Although The Chilian Club was never produced, ten complete adaptations were written involving four different hands – writer- directors Peter Collinson and Mike Hodges, Benny Green, the well- known radio scriptwriter and broadcaster, and Michael Klinger who was to have been the film’s producer – over a six- year period (1972–7). As discussions of screenwriting often emphasize (Rilla 1973: 12–16; Cook and Spicer 2008: 213–16; Maras 2009: 11–15), it is important to establish what is understood to be the object of study. Thus, although there will be a detailed examination of the scripts themselves and the aesthetic difficulties of realizing Shipway’s novel, the chapter will also pay close attention to the fluctuating nature of the collaborations involved and contextual factors that shaped them. This was a period of exceptional volatility and uncertainty in the British film industry, and Klinger, as an independent producer, faced extreme difficulties that had a direct bearing on his attempts to film The Chilian Club. Figure 5.1 The strapline for Klinger News with a typical headline; courtesy of Tony Klinger 72 Andrew Spicer My analysis of the deeper forces at work in attempting to realize The Chilian Club will be based on hitherto unused material in the University of the West of England’s Michael Klinger Papers that shed light on the convoluted relationships between screenwriters, distributors, potential investors, public bodies and large corporations, all pivoting round the figure of Michael Klinger as the producer.

  • John Terry and the Predicament of Englishness: Ambivalence and Nostalgia in the Premier League Era
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Sport in History on 20 Nov 2013, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17460263.2013.850268 John Terry and the Predicament of Englishness: Ambivalence and Nostalgia in the Premier League Era Neil Ewen This article examines media discourse surrounding the Chelsea and England footballer John Terry and argues that his iconicity embodies multiple anxieties about Englishness and English football in the era of neoliberalism. In a nostalgic culture in search of ‘traditional’ English heroes, Terry is celebrated for his physicality and traditionally ‘English’ style of play; yet, his off-field behaviour is seen to be both emblematic and symptomatic of a celebrity culture considered to betray the values coded as English in football history. Taking Terry’s dilemma as a starting point, this article historicizes the rise of footballers as celebrities; examines widespread anxiety about the loss of the typically English, noble working class footballer; and interrogates the problems of thinking about sporting icons of Englishness without recourse to the dominant nostalgic mode. Introduction [W]hat a lift it would give the footballing nation if the England captaincy reverted to being an honour rather than a public-relations hand grenade. Terry, for all his qualities as a leader and a footballing central defender — his hard-man image belies the Chelsea captain’s excellence as a distributor of the ball from the back — has been a near-disaster in the job, a recurrent source of embarrassment […] England cannot be led out again by someone who comes with more baggage than Louis Vuitton.i The wider question in all this is: why is the Chelsea defender so often given the benefit of the doubt? He continues to command a reputation as the embodiment of the English bulldog spirit, a man who would sacrifice his right arm for club and country.

  • Think Before You Speak
    Think Before You Speak John Terry is a professional footballer. To be more precise, John Terry is the captain of Chelsea Football Club and also the captain of England. He is well known throughout the world as a great player and was selected only last week by FIFA, football's world governing body, as one of the top 24 footballers currently playing the game. John Terry is 30 years old. Born in London in 1981 he started playing soccer at a young age before joining the youth team at Chelsea when he was only fourteen. At first he was selected as a mid-fielder but as he grew in size he was moved to defence. It is as a Centre Back that Terry has played most of his professional career. Terry has played football only for Chelsea making him a one-club player. This is a rarity in today's modern game where players frequently move to other clubs. He has received many offers to play for other teams in England and Italy but Terry has always turned down their advances. He is a London boy who wishes to remain at the same London club where his professional career began until he retires from the game. John Terry has experienced many highpoints in his time playing for Chelsea and England. As captain of Chelsea he has lead the team to victories in many competitions including the English premiership and the FA Cup. He has also experienced great disappointment. In the final of the European Champions League he walked up to take what ought to have been the final penalty in a penalty shoot-out against Manchester United.

Ohio,' the U.S. Supreme Court extended the due process protections of the exclusionary rule to include all "constitutionally unreasonable searches" that were done without a basis of probable cause. 2 In the seven years after Mapp, when homicide rates in the U.S. nearly doubled,3 riots broke out in at least forty-seven U.S. cities.4 During the same era, a heroin epidemic gripped the nation's urban centers,5 giving rise to street drug markets and associated violence and pressures on law enforcement to curb those markets.6 As violence increased, a turn in the nation's political culture questioned Mapp's restraints on police discretion to stop and search criminal suspects.7 Indeed, some writers wondered if the Mapp standard, with its reliance on the exclusionary rule to deter violations t Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law, and Professor of Epidemiology, Columbia University.
