UK ; CHANNEL FOUR ; TELEVISION Summary: "This book gives a fascinating account of how Channel Four came to be set up. Stephen Lambert tells in detail the story of the political infighting, the fierce debates over broadcasting philosophies and lobbying by special interest groups which preceded the establishment of the Channel Four Television Company. He explains exactly what is different about the new service, how it is organised and financed, and what the aims and objectives are of those who are running it and those who are making the programmes." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index; Used to exist as accession number: 250.

UK ; CHANNEL FOUR ; FILM ; FILMS SHOWN ON TV ; TELEVISION Summary: "Channel 4 Television went on air on 2 November 1982. This was also a significant date for the British Film industry, since an important plank in the Channel's programme policy was the financing of theatrical feature films. This book is the first comprehensive survey of this major and highly influential initiative. John Pym describes and assesses every one of the 136 features commissioned and transmitted by Channel 4 in its 'Film on Four' slot between 1982 and 1991. Among the film-makers aided by Channel 4 have been Peter Greenaway, James Ivory, Terence Davies, Colin Gregg and Stephen Frears. Film on Four's successes have included Walter; Paris; Texas; My Beautiful Laundrette; Distant Voices; Still Lives and Another Time, Another Place. In addition to an historical chrononlogy of the 1980s, FILM ON FOUR contains his technical credits, cast lists, budgets and viewing figures of all 136 films - much of which primary information is published or the first time." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Used to be on system as Accession Number 3222.

Walker's previous volumes, HOLLYWOOD ENGLAND and NATIONAL HEROES, covered the period until 1984. This final volume tells the inside story right up to date of why a nation that produces actors of the calibre of Kenneth Branagh, Daniel Day-Lewis, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Robert Carlyle, Kate Winslet and directors such as Anthony Minghella, Sam Mendes, Stephen Frears, Neil Jordan, Peter Greenaway, Ken Loach and Guy Ritchie cannot sustain a native film industry.
Walker's revelations on the iniquities of National Lottery funding of movies - over £200m to date and hardly a profitable film among those so far produced - have been headline news. Walker relates the extraordinary events of the past two decades years through the individuals, the companies and the studios." -- from book jacket (abridged)Notes: Includes introduction by Joseph Connelly, includes preface and indexISBN: 0752856103Donation: Bruce HodsdonContents: Before the title: The Chinese butterfly -- 1.
