What TV’s on at BAFTA in June? Including In My Skin

19 May 2020 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Every Tuesday, TMINE flags up what new TV events BAFTA is holding around the UK

Following on from its March preview of the show, BAFTA has a new In My Skin event, this time an online Zoom webinar:

Masterclass: In My Skin

Wednesday, 3 June 2020 – 8:00pm

Odeon, Cardiff

A masterclass with writer Kayleigh Llewellyn (Stella), director Lucy Forbes (End of the F***ing World), executive producer Nerys Evans (Catastrophe) and actors Jo Hartley (After Life) and Gabrielle Creevy (Gwaith/Cartref).

Shot in Cardiff, the series follows the double life led by 16-year-old Bethan Gwyndaf (Creevy) as she navigates school and a troubled home life that sees her bipolar mother Katrina (Hartley) sectioned by the crisis team at a psychiatric hospital. Her alcoholic father displays a lack of compassion to the situation, and Bethan fights hard to hide the truth of the life she really leads from her best friends, Travis and Lydia, and her teachers.

The session will focus on the making of the darkly comic BBC hit, and give a detailed look at the development process from the initial script to filming the pilot, and then on to first full series.

Hosted by BBC presenter Alexandra Humphreys.

The iPlayer adds 23 RKO classics

19 May 2020 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

In a rather nice move for those of us in need of a movie fix, the BBC has just added no fewer than 23 RKO classic movies to the iPlayer. In no particular order other than alphabetical, they are:

Here’s the full list:

  • Angel Face
  • Beautiful But Dangerous
  • Blackbeard, The Pirate
  • Bringing Up Baby
  • Carefree
  • Citizen Kane
  • Fort Apache (1948)
  • King Kong (1933)
  • Kitty Foyle
  • Love Affair (1939)
  • Magnificent Ambersons
  • Mr Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse
  • My Favourite Wife
  • She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
  • Suspicion
  • The Gay Divorcee
  • The Miracle of the Bells
  • The Sky’s the Limit
  • The Spanish Main
  • The Velvet Touch
  • Top Hat
  • Vivacious Lady
  • Wagon Master

Some obvious classic must-sees in there – Citizen Kane, Bringing Up Baby, King Kong, Fort Apache, Magnificent Ambersons, Top Hat – but there’s plenty in there I haven’t seen, so am happily assuming are equally great.
