  • 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.

  • Dennis Potter: an Unconventional Dramatist
    Dennis Potter: An Unconventional Dramatist Dennis Potter (1935–1994), graduate of New College, was one of the most innovative and influential television dramatists of the twentieth century, known for works such as single plays Son of Man (1969), Brimstone and Treacle (1976) and Blue Remembered Hills (1979), and serials Pennies from Heaven (1978), The Singing Detective (1986) and Blackeyes (1989). Often controversial, he pioneered non-naturalistic techniques of drama presentation and explored themes which were to recur throughout his work. I. Early Life and Background He was born Dennis Christopher George Potter in Berry Hill in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire on 17 May 1935, the son of a coal miner. He would later describe the area as quite isolated from everywhere else (‘even Wales’).1 As a child he was an unusually bright pupil at the village primary school (which actually features as a location in ‘Pennies From Heaven’) as well as a strict attender of the local chapel (‘Up the hill . usually on a Sunday, sometimes three times to Salem Chapel . .’).2 Even at a young age he was writing: I knew that the words were chariots in some way. I didn’t know where it was going … but it was so inevitable … I cannot think of the time really when I wasn’t [a writer].3 The language of the Bible, the images it created, resonated with him; he described how the local area ‘became’ places from the Bible: Cannop Ponds by the pit where Dad worked, I knew that was where Jesus walked on the water … the Valley of the Shadow of Death was that lane where the overhanging trees were.4 I always fall back into biblical language, but that’s … part of my heritage, which I in a sense am grateful for.5 He was also a ‘physically cowardly’6 and ‘cripplingly shy’7 child who felt different from the other children at school, a feeling heightened by his being academically more advanced.

The world’s economic outlook is still precarious and to appease a restless population the authorities have decriminalised all classes of recreational drugs. The ‘Drecks’ are an elite unit created by an over- stretched police force to keep the black market dealers off the streets and the licensed drug companies rich. Dreck and recovering addict Frank Grieves is called to investigate an unidentifiable corpse out in the Kindle District, an industrial wasteland beyond the teeming Central City. The victim had been injected through the eye socket with a substance that cannot be traced on any of the licenced databases. As he starts to dig deeper, Grieves soon suspects that Ambro, the largest and most profitable of all the licensed drugs companies, is behind the new, experimental drug. When his superiors promptly warn him off any further investigation, Grieves soon learns that Ambro’s influence runs deep within the establishment. Nonetheless, Grieves returns to the crime scene for another look, where he discovers a young woman being attacked by a masked assailant. Grieves fails to apprehend the attacker, but soon learns that the young woman, Eva, has also been using this mysterious drug.

    Freeview 81 Film Club Sky 328 Freesat 306 JULY 2019 newsletter Virgin 445 Dear Supporters of Talking Pictures TV & Renown Pictures, Talking Pictures TV turned 4 a few weeks ago, so a jolly happy birth- day to us! Here’s to many more years of preserving film history and making sure films and series don’t get left on dusty shelves where no– one can see them! I hate to think how old Renown Pictures is now…. We had trip to Devon this month to meet the wonderful Joss Ack- land at his home. We filmed with Joss for four hours as he delighted us with childhood memories and snippets of the strange sequence of events in his life and career, I can’t say too much – so watch out for the interview that will be airing on the channel later this year. We also filmed with the wonderful Tom Owen this month, what a lovely chap, fond memories of fishing on Brighton pier with his dear dad Bill Owen and some great insights into both his and his father’s career. We have received a number of complaints from people staying in hotels around the country recently that TPTV was not available on their hotel TV set. We should be available in all hotels but sadly the management of the hotels can be very lax at completing the tuning process on their TVs. If you stay somewhere and TPTV is not available please demand they re-tune so we will be there next time – it’s amaz- ing how many people have found us while on holiday and continue to watch us when they get home! This month we bring you the wonderful Mr Pastry Collection, fully restored from the original elements WITH SUBTITLES and some exclusive snippets from Richard Hearne’s private film collection as bonus extra features.

  • A Told by an Idiot and Theatre Royal Plymouth
    A Told by an Idiot and Theatre Royal Plymouth production with Royal & Derngate, Northampton and Unity Theatre, Liverpool created by Told by an Idiot The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel was first performed on Thursday 14th November 2019 at The Drum, Theatre Royal Plymouth. DIRECTOR’S NOTE “ Without him I would never have made a film. With Keaton he was the master of us all. His work is always contemporary, yet eternal, and what he brought to the cinema and to his time is irreplaceable” Jacques Tati on Chaplin “ They made us laugh because in them we kind of saw ourselves - ridiculous, frustrated, up to our necks in trouble, but nevertheless ourselves” Danny Kaye on Laurel and Hardy At Told by an Idiot we have often been fascinated by the deconstruction of an iconic figure and the idea of creating a ‘true fantasy’ has always appealed to us. As a company who has consistently sought to inhabit the space between laughter and pain, we were intrigued to uncover a hidden and poignant chapter of comedy history. In some ways we set out to create a comically unreliable tribute to two extraordinary artists. We were determined to value fiction over fact, fantasy over reality, and shine a very unusual light on a pair of show business legends. Paul Hunter Writer and Director of The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel CAST Sara Alexander Films include: Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd; Hilary & Jackie; Pianist, Hannah Chaplin (Charlie’s Mother) Susie Gold; Sherman (short); The Tales of Despereaux (cartoon); Gullivers Travels; Gli Zii (short); Muppets Most Sara is Brit-Sardinian and a graduate of the University of Wanted; Men Who Sleep in Cars.

  • Cathy Elliott Thesis Final Version Mar 2013
    The Blackmail of Democracy: A Genealogy of British/Pakistani Democracy Promotion by Catherine Elliott A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 1 Declaration 2 Acknowledgements Any doctoral thesis is the product of a relational, radically ordinary, experience of collaboration, talk, mutual support and sometimes rather intense emotion. I have long been grateful to Mark Ferrigan for first introducing me to the ideas of Michel Foucault and other French “theory”. I still use his explanations and examples with my students. The idea of writing about the strange business of promoting liberal democracy first came to me when talking to Jack Elden one hot night in my garden in Islamabad. I am grateful not only to him but to all my other brilliant colleagues, too numerous to name, at the British Council in Pakistan and Manchester. Particular thanks to Jo Seaman for being a great boss, as well as all my friends and colleagues in Pakistan, particularly Parveen Hasan, Rehana Sheikh, Umbreen Baig, Aalya Gloeckler, Roohi Afrooze, Javed Akhtar, Aziz Ahmed, Hajji Mohammed Akhtar, Supriya Madhavan, Zarin Khan and, above all, Asghar Soomro for showing me so much about this beautiful and fascinating country. I am also deeply grateful to the extraordinary Tomáš Daňhel for teaching me, amongst many other things, that what should be is less important than what is. David Hudson and Sherrill Stroschein at University College London gave me a huge amount of support in taking this project from an idea to a research proposal and have been brilliant supervisors throughout.
