  • BFI Press Release: Missing Believed Wiped Bumper Christmas Stocking
    For Immediate Release: Tuesday 7 November 2017, London. The BFI’s Missing Believed Wiped returns to BFI Southbank this December to present British television rediscoveries, not seen by audiences for decades, since their original transmission dates. The exciting, bespoke line-up of TV gems feature some of our most-loved television celebrities and iconic characters including Alf Garnett in Till Death Us Do Part: Sex Before Marriage, Cilla Black in her eponymous BBC show featuring Dudley Moore , Jimmy Edwards in Whack-O!, a rare interview with Peter Davison about playing Doctor Who and a significant screen debut from a young Pete Postlethwaite. Lost for 50 years and thought only to survive in part, Till Death Us Do: Sex Before Marriage, originally broadcast on 2 January, 1967 on BBC1, sees Warren Mitchell’s Alf Garnett rail against the permissive society, featuring guest star John Junkin alongside regular cast members Dandy Nichols, Anthony Booth and Una Stubbs. Although the existence of this missing episode from the 2nd series has been known for some years, previous attempts to screen the episode had been refused with the print in the hands of a private collector. Having recently changed hands, MBW is delighted that access has been granted for this special one off screening, for one of 1960s best known and controversial UK television characters. Following last year’s successful screening of a previously lost episode of Jimmy Edwards’s popular 1950s BBC school-themed comedy romp Whack-O!, this year’s MBW programme includes a 1959 episode entitled The Empty Cash Box. Written by Frank Muir and Dennis Norden and starring Jimmy Edwards as the cane-happy headmaster, this episode was originally broadcast on the BBC on 1st December 1959.

  • Model of Care for Acute Surgery National Clinical Programme in Surgery
    Model of Care for Acute Surgery National Clinical Programme in Surgery Model of Care for Acute Surgery National Clinical Programme in Surgery Forward The National Clinical Programme in Surgery is delighted to publish the Acute Surgery Model of Care. The aim of the Surgery Programme is to provide a framework for the delivery of more timely, accessible, safer, cost effective and efficient care for the acute surgical patient. This follows on from the Elective Surgery Model of Care which is currently being rolled out across Ireland. While understanding the difficulties facing healthcare delivery at the present time, we believe that the principles laid out in this document represent best practice that will, in the long term, fundamentally improve surgical care. Change of this magnitude will clearly take time to implement and will impact all care providers and the organisations within which they work. We also acknowledge that the patient care that is provided by surgeons and anaesthetists cannot be delivered without the support of a wide range of other professional and ancillary groups. Finally, we welcome the collaboration with the other programmes charged with the delivery of acute patient care. This final document could not have been completed without the widespread input and suggestions that we have received from our own team, the surgical and healthcare community as well as patients themselves. We would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to one and all.

At the time of writing we are still in lockdown and restricted on our everyday social activities so we hope you are all keeping well and hopefully you’ll find some titles to entertain you and to keep you company among this season’s new books. We have the newest titles from Tracy Chevalier with “A Single Thread” and Jojo Moyes with “A Giver of Stars. Perhaps you fancy a classic spy story, so may be tempted with Len Deighton’s “The Ipcress File” or Ken Follet’s “Eye of the Needle”, or just want something to make you laugh, in which case Sue Townsend’s “Queen Camilla” is one to try. For those of you that prefer non-fiction then how about Lenny Henry’s biography “Who Am I Again?”, or the new book by Robert MacFarlane called “Underland”, where he takes us on a journey of discovery of the world beneath our feet. You may order any of the books in this FYEO by using the enclosed order form. Alternatively you can email us at [email protected], or telephone Membership Services on 01296 432339.

  • Investing a Studio with Meaning: the Construction of Fictional Space In
    Investing a Studio with Meaning: The Construction of Fictional Space in British Television Drama and the Police Series of 1955-82 BEN LAMB A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of South Wales/Prifysgol De Cymru for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy This research programme was carried out in collaboration with the Arts and Humanities Research Council, The University of Reading and University of Leicester January 2014 Declaration This thesis contains all my own work. It has not been submitted for a degree at any other University. None of the work within this thesis has been published, or submitted for a previous degree. 2 Abstract British television drama shot in the studio using videotape technology has traditionally been considered to have its own distinctive aesthetic throughout academic studies. The purpose of this study is to test this hypothesis and to explore how representational aesthetics developed for the British television studio from 1955 to 1982. Throughout this era there were a number of different methods of producing television drama in the UK. Practitioners could shoot a drama predominantly in the studio with multiple video cameras, film the majority of their material on location with a single film camera, or use an Outside Broadcast (OB) video system on location. This thesis examines the aesthetic progression of studio- shot drama using video technology and reassesses the notion that it is somehow not authentically televisual on account of its close affinity to theatrical aesthetic practice. In order to achieve this aim this thesis uses the British police series as a genre case study.
