John, along with his wife of 62 years – the delightful Googie Withers and their charming eldest daughter Joanna McCallum, helped to thoroughly enthral and entertain many MVM members at the annual gathering back in September 2007, giving us all an afternoon to remember for a very long time. On that occasion, John kindly signed my copy of his excellent book ‘Life With Googie’ which naturally I will treasure even more now, along with his thoughtful and most gracious letters regarding MVM – and the enjoyment each magazine gave both Googie and himself. Not only a talented actor of the stage and screen, John went into the production side of the business in Australia – especially with the popular TV series ‘Skippy’ in the 1960s, which I remember with affection. John and Googie (pictured here in the 1950s) appeared together many times on the screen – and more so on the stage in a wide variety of successful productions spanning some fifty years.

  • Shoot the Messenger
    Shoot the Messenger Dir: Ngozi Onwurah, UK, 2006 A review by Stephen Harper, University of Portsmouth, UK The BBC drama Shoot the Messenger (BBC2, 30 August, 2006) is a provocative exploration of racial politics within London's African Caribbean community. Originally entitled Fuck Black People!, the film provoked strong criticism, not least from the pressure group Ligali. The drama was written by Sharon Foster, best known as the writer of Babyfather, who won the Dennis Potter Screenwriting Award for her screenplay. David Oyelowo plays Joe Pascale, a well-meaning middle class schoolteacher whose efforts to 'make a difference' in the education of failing black pupils in an inner-city school result in unemployment, schizophrenia and homelessness. The tribulations of the idealistic teacher are hardly new in British television drama: Jimmy McGovern's 1995 series Hearts and Minds is one noteworthy example. But Shoot the Messenger's central concern with race orients it specifically towards contemporary debates around multiculturalism and social exclusion such as that prompted by the Parekh Report (2000). The concern with black educational failure is key within these debates. A DfES report 'Getting it. Getting it right' (2007) noted that Black Caribbean students in Britain are excluded from school far more often than white pupils. Although BBC television drama has addressed these issues in recent years in productions such as Lennie James' Storm Damage (BBC2, 2000), Shoot the Messenger nonetheless carries a heavy representational burden. For several years the lack of racial diversity in BBC programmes has been criticised (Creeber, 2004) and concerns about the BBC's treatment of its visible minority staff abound (see, for example, "BBC still showing its 'hideously white' face," 2002).
