Is it a good idea? How much will it cost? What are the regulations? The list was endless and in my late sixties, should I be starting a new career? We felt the idea was sound; there seemed to be a gap in the market for a mostly mature audience that were fed up with the mind-numbing fare served up by the BBC and ITV. Daytime drama programmes by and large had been replaced by reality shows – how to do up a house, are auntie’s old candlesticks worth anything etc – which, sadly, still play after all this time. Starting and running a TV station is very time consuming and extremely expensive, so off to the banks with our business plan we went, only to find out that they didn’t really do that sort of thing, but, “how much is your house worth?” Further meetings with financial institutions proved equally unsuccessful including offering the Chinese a place on the board. In the end, we realised if it were to happen it would have to be self financed and, with a small loan from the bank… yes, and the deeds of the house were brought out (!) we were in business. It always appeared obvious that most of the work would have to be carried out by Sarah and myself so having raised the minimum finance we were off to get a broadcasters licence... Producer Noel Cronin founded Talking Pictures TV and Renown Pictures and is contributing his memories to the newsletter. Ever since his entrance into the world of film as a young man, Noel has been interested in preserving the heritage of lost and forgotten films, shorts and programmes, and for many years has gathered, restored and preserved this wonderful heritage which would otherwise be lost. Noel worked for the Rank Organisation and the Central Office of Information, and bought the rights to several libraries that owned films which now air on Talking Pictures TV. His career as a producer and editor of films, documentaries and TV series spans several decades.

  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

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.
