  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

  • Sarjassa Pitkän Jussin Majatalo
    26 sLÄHIKUVA s1/2016 2AMI-ËHKË &- Rami Mähkä +ULTTUURIHISTORIA 4URUNYLIOPISTO BASIL FAWLTY JA "ESITHATCHERILAISUUS" SARJASSA PITKÄN JUSSIN MAJATALO Klassikkoaseman saavutanut tilannekomedia Pitkän Jussin majatalo raken- tuu pitkälti töykeän ja katastrofaltiin hotellinjohtajahahmo Basil Fawltyn toilauksille. Mielipiteiltään konservatiivinen ja patriootinen Fawlty on sarjan naurun ensisijainen kohde. Sellaisena hän artikuloi käsityksiä Britannian yh- teiskunnallisesta tilanteesta 1970-luvun jälkipuoliskolla. Sarjan avainteemojen kontekstualisointi – sarjan komediallisuus huomioon otaen – autaa ymmärtä- mään yhteiskunnallista ja kultuurista kehitystä, jonka seurauksena Margaret Thatcher nousi Britannian pääministeriksi vuonna 1979. Artikkelini tarkastelee Pitkän Jussin majataloa (Fawlty Towers, BBC, 1975, 1979) tilannekomediana, jonka keskipisteenä on hotellinomistaja ja -johtaja Basil Fawltyn (John Cleese) keskiluokkainen, konservatiivinen hahmo. Sarjan muut keskushahmot ovat Sybil Fawlty (Prunella Scales), Polly (Connie Booth) ja Ma- nuel (Andrew Sachs). Sybil on Basilin vaimo, joka on miestään sosiaalisempi ja avomielisempi. Hän myös osallistuu hotellin pyörittämiseen ollen siinä itse asiassa miestään pätevämpi. Sisäkkö Polly taas on taideopiskelija, joka toimii järjen äänenä ja Basilin virheiden paikkaajana. Neljäs keskushenkilö Manuel on huonosti englantia taitava ja asioita hahmottava espanjalaistarjoilija (ks. myös Wilmut 1980, 243–247). Jo tässä vaiheessa on syytä painottaa, että sitcomin hahmot tai niiden yhdistelmä perustuvat komediallisille

  • Diana Rigg, One of Our Favourite and Most Gifted Actors and for Many the Epitome of Sixties Cool, Charm and Charisma Had Passed Away
    Back in July I thought it’d be good to follow on from the first issue, a Doctor Who special, with one paying tribute to other cult television shows, and I started putting this issue together in August after I received the first article, ‘The Avengers’ by John Winterson Richards. The article (which starts on page 3) was already ‘in the can’ if I can borrow that term, by the end of the month. Then, just a few weeks later, the sad news was announced that Dame Diana Rigg, one of our favourite and most gifted actors and for many the epitome of sixties cool, charm and charisma had passed away. Diana Rigg, who was a much loved and admired member of her profession, helped propel 'The Avengers' into its true golden age. In middle age she made a dazzling change of direction to be become one of our great classical actors. The recipient of Bafta, Emmy, Tony and Evening Standard Awards for her work on stage and screen she was a true force of nature. On page 41 we pay tribute to her. What is Cult TV? You can't predict what is going to become a TV cult. It's not the makers of a particular show that bestow cult status, but the audience who view it. Those with a passion who, long after a series has finished and gone to television heaven (shameless plug), keep it very much alive with devoted fan communities, online message boards, writing fan-fiction, and attending conventions dressed as their favourite characters.

  • The Complexities of Farce
    The Complexities of Farce (With a Case Study on Fawlty Towers) Dario Dalla Costa BA(Hons), DipEd This Thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts of the University of Western Australia, School of Social and Cultural Studies, Discipline of English, Communication and Cultural Studies, 2004. Abstract This thesis will counter the argument that farce is a simplistic dramatic form low in the theatrical hierarchy and demonstrate that it is both complex and multifaceted. It will be shown to have a long history and to have influenced many different dramatic forms. The thesis is in two sections. The first will explore farce in general, and the second will use the sitcom Fawlty Towers as a case study in order to explore the televisual mode and its relevance to the contemporary context. The question “What is farce?” will be answered in detail, thus developing an unambiguous perception of the genre which will form a contextual basis for the rest of the thesis. Recurring themes will be used to link chapters together and certain issues raised in early chapters will be expanded upon in later ones. A key aspect to be taken into consideration is the importance the physical plays in farce. Thus, my focus will be specifically on performance texts, and not limit itself to the “literary” texts. The theatrical hierarchy will be addressed directly, exploring why and how the genre has been delegated to the lowest rung of the hierarchical ladder. Such a classification will be destabilised and shown to be unfounded because it is based on such assumptions as tragedy being the “best” genre because it is tragedy, and farce the worst because it is farce.
