  • 2008 Programme Review
    CHANNEL 4 REVIEW OF 2008 Major Themes in 2008 2008 was a year of dramatic creative renewal for Channel 4. In March, the organisation published Next on 4, a policy document laying out its public service vision for the future. Creative renewal in the schedule was evident even before then, with a raft of new programming in January occupying the space occupied in previous years by Celebrity Big Brother, which was rested. Over the course of the year, a range of authored series and campaigning programmes exemplified Channel 4’s renewed commitment to high-impact programming capable of engaging mass-market audiences, stimulating debate and generating interest in important social, political and cultural issues. However, Channel 4’s ability to fulfil its public service ambitions were curtailed by the downturn in the advertising market towards the end of the year, leading to significant reductions in the programming budget for both 2008 and 2009. In an increasingly competitive environment, Channel 4’s portfolio of channels and services maintained its viewing share at 11.9 per cent. The core channel share fell from 8.7 per cent in 2007 to 8.2 per cent in 2008. Next on 4 Dramatic changes are reshaping the UK broadcasting ecology, as it moves towards a fully digital world. Viewers will have access to dozens, if not hundreds of channels, as well as the rapidly growing variety of video services delivered online. In this context, Channel 4 reaffirmed its commitment in Next on 4 to remain a publicly-owned public service broadcaster whose primary purpose is the fulfilment of its legislative remit.

  • John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and More
    John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and more The eldest of three children, actor and musician John Ronald Simm was born on 10 July 1970 in Leeds, West Yorkshire and grew up in Nelson, Lancashire. He attended Edge End High School, Nelson followed by Blackpool Drama College at 16 and The Drama Centre, London at 19. He lives in North London with his wife, actress Kate Magowan and their children Ryan, born on 13 August 2001 and Molly, born on 9 February 2007. Simm won the Best Actor award at the Valencia Film Festival for his film debut in Boston Kickout (1995) and has been twice BAFTA nominated (to date) for Life On Mars (2006) and Exile (2011). He supports Man U, is "a Beatles nut" and owns seven guitars. John Simm quotes I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though. Maybe my wife would disagree. I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place ... in the country that I could live. You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it. Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people.

  • Mask and Persona: Creating the Bard for Bardcom
    Persona Studies 2019, vol. 5, no. 2 MASK AND PERSONA: CREATING THE BARD FOR BARDCOM PETER HOLLAND ABSTRACT This article explores a number of perspectives on the creation of very different Shakespeares as personas by first examining the celebration of the 400th anniversary of his death in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 2016 and Shake, Mr Shakespeare, a remarkable Roy Mack 1936 Warner Brothers short. From there it moves on to consider the brief appearance of Shakespeare in the time-travel comedy Blackadder: Back and Forth, in ‘The Shakespeare Code’ episode of Doctor Who and in the off-Broadway musical Something Rotten!, before examining the work of Ben Elton in his screenplay for All Is True and in the seemingly unlikely success of Upstart Crow, the BBC sitcom with Shakespeare as the lead character, which has so far completed three six-episode series and three Christmas specials. The article is concerned with the multiple masks of the sequence of personas that create these Shakespeares, from Shakespeare as perhaps the epitome of the celebrity author to Shakespeare as a sitcom Dad. KEY WORDS Shakespeare, Mask, Celebrity, Comedy, Sitcom, Afterlife WHERE ISS SHAKESPEARE? In Act 2 of Emlyn Williams’ The Corn is Green (1938), a semi-autobiographical narrative of how education saved a bright Welsh boy from the mines and sent him to Oxford University, the end of a class in Miss Moffat’s new school leaves behind on stage Old Tom, “an elderly, distinguished- looking, grey-bearded peasant” (Williams 1995, p. 34), and Miss Ronberry, now one of Miss Moffat’s teachers.

  • Review of Antonija Primorac's Neo
    Exploring the Victorian Imaginarium: Review of Antonija Primorac’s Neo-Victorianism on Screen: Postfeminism and Contemporary Adaptations of Victorian Women Chris Louttit (Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) Antonija Primorac, Neo-Victorianism on Screen: Postfeminism and Contemporary Adaptations of Victorian Women Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018 ISBN: 978-3-319-64558-2, €108.99 (HB) ***** In a year in which Covid-19 has dominated the public consciousness, and film and television production slowed around the globe, neo-Victorianism has nonetheless remained a strong presence on our screens. As the pandemic raged, competing adaptations of neo-Victorian novels by Julian Fellowes and Eleanor Catton were broadcast by ITV and the BBC. Belgravia (2020), created by Fellows, and The Luminaries (2020), directed by Claire McCarthy and written by Catton, offer different forms of neo-Victorianism, of course, but both were greeted as an escape from this turbulent period, with the former described grudgingly as “something to pass the time as the coronavirus curfew descends” (Mangan 2020a: n.p.) and the latter more positively as “glorious escapism, perfect for our times” (Mangan 2020b: n.p.). While recent events may have made these series seem more timely, in reality they represent a continuation of a cultural trend rather than a new development. The mainstream screen industry’s love affair with the Victorian era is a long lasting one, but one that has become particularly heated over the last few decades, with waves of interest not only in adaptations of classic Victorian texts by canonical usual suspects but also in more self-conscious literary mash-ups, knowing original period dramas, and even playful neo-Victorian sitcoms.
