    Doc Brown Actor/Comedian Ben ‘Doc Brown’ Smith originally made a name for himself as a rapper, known as much for his off-the-cuff freestyle rhymes on stage as for his self-deprecating style on record. A chance meeting with DJ/Producer Mark Ronson in 2004 struck up a relationship that led to Doc touring with Ronson’s band as their MC on a string of festival shows from 2006 – 2007.

UNLIKE OUR CURRENT COUCH POTATO CULTURE, IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TO KEEP THE DISENCHANTED YOUTH ANESTHETISED INDOORS, SO AS UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES ROSE AND THE YTS SCHEMES FELL, THE KIDS REFUSED TO TOE THE FACTORY LINE AND SPILLED OUT ONTO THE STREETS. THE STAGE WAS SET FOR A REVOLUTION. Rockers, New Romantics, Mods, Punks, Casuals, Smoothies, Ska kids and Skinheads stood shoulder to shoulder, hissing and spitting in the discos, precincts and subways of the working class towns across the nation. Oi! This is England tells the story of SHAUN, an 11-year-old kid growing up without a father in the north of England. Set during the summer holidays of 1983, we chart his rites of passage from a shaggy haired ruffian grieving the loss of his father into a shaven headed thug whose anger and pain are embraced by the local skinhead fraternity and ultimately the National Front. With a shell of a mother and no father to guide him, Shaun seems set for certain destruction.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
