Irwin Monitor (BBC, 1958–65), a series which showcased the arts and their creators and was presented by Huw Wheldon, is now remembered as the flagship of late 1950s and early 1960s arts documentary television broadcasting. In Arts TV: A History of Arts Television in Britain, John Walker describes Monitor as ‘a crucially important early series’ (1993: 45), arguing that ‘no one could deny its ground-breaking achievements’ (ibid.: 49). John Wyver, in Vision On: Film, Television and the Arts in Britain, called Monitor ‘among the BBC’s most celebrated contributions to “good broadcasting’’ ’ (2007: 27).1 In the edited collection Experimental British Te l e v i s i o n , Jamie Sexton refers to Monitor as the ‘BBC’s critically acclaimed arts series’ (Mulvey and Sexton 2007: 90), while Kay Dickinson, in the same collection, refers to it as a ‘well respected fortnightly Sunday arts magazine programme’, pointing out that this was where Ken Russell first made his name (ibid.: 70).

  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

  • The Bbc Question
    from Vertigo, issue 1, Spring 1993 THE BBC QUESTION Michael Chanan When Screen Forum was born out of a couple of open meetings in London in late 1991, one of the strongest-felt priorities for attention was the future of the BBC. The first fruit of this concern, a one-day conference at Riverside nearly a year later (preceding by three weeks the delayed publication of the Government's Green Paper on the future of the BBC) happily succeeded in bringing BBC employees and independent programme makers into dialogue together. The growth of the independent sector is one of the main differences from the last time the renewal of the BBC Charter came up in 1981. But the ground has shifted in other ways too, for over the same period the ideology of the market place has colonised the language of public debate. As Stuart Hall put it at Riverside, even in his institution of the Open University the language in which public issues are discussed has undergone a complete shift. Probably no-one had changed their political allegiances, he said, but everyone speaks differently: 'we have been internally reconstructed'. Market-place language, and its incompatibility with the liberal language of old patrician values, was one of the reasons for the emergence of a crisis of leadership at the BBC, which is not resolved by the departure of Michael Checkland, the accountant who was appointed Director General in 1987. The crisis was first publicly aired in two major speeches last summer by Michael Grade and David Attenborough. Attenborough attacked the idea going about that the BBC ought to withdraw from the full spectrum of programme-making and concentrate on the 'higher ground' (the so-called 'Himalaya option').
