“I built up a knowledge of 1960s and '70s British films because my dad used to work nights, and I'd sit up with my mum and watch films - 'How I Won the War' and the films of Richard Lester, Karel Reisz and John Schlesinger.” WarFilmUsedNightWatchesDadBuiltMy DadBritishMum1960sBritish Film Author:Nick Moran
“Television in the 1960s & 70s had just as much dross and the programmes were a lot more tediously patronising than they are now. Memory truncates occasional gems into a glittering skein of brilliance. More television, more channels means more good television and, of course, more bad. The same equation applies to publishing, film and, I expect, sumo wrestling.” MeanFilmCoursesMemoriesTelevisionWrestlingPublishingEquations1960sOccasionalBrillianceProgrammesGemsDross Author:A. A.
