What TV’s on at the BFI in February 2015?

7 January 2015 Rob Buckley Post a comment

It’s time for our regular look at the TV that the BFI is showing, this time in February 2015. And it’s a two-prong approach from the BFI this month, with a series of previews of forthcoming TV shows on the one hand – Channel 4’s Indian Summers, BBC One’s Poldark and ITV’s Arthur & George – and on the other, a series of little-repeated plays that fair puts The Wednesday Play in the shade and includes Alan Bleasdale’s first TV drama Early To Bed.

What TV’s on at the BFI in January 2015?

27 November 2014 Rob Buckley Post a comment

It’s time for our regular look at the TV that the BFI is showing, this time in January 2015. And it’s very much a month of foreign TV, for a change. Kind of.

As well as a preview of Sky Atlantic’s Fortitude, starring the likes of Stanley Tucci and Sofie Gråbøl and filmed in Iceland, there’s a season of Eric Rohmer’s French TV documentaries and a season of British TV dramatisations of American plays, starring the likes of Eartha Kitt, John Malkovich and Eli Wallach. But just for a bit of variety, there’s a couple of plays starring Maggie Smith.

Given that summer holidays are approaching fast, it’s no surprise that there’s less on this month, but there is a season of director Moira Armstrong’s work, as well as an evening dedicated to the awesome The Phil Silvers Show – aka Bilko.

What TV’s on at the BFI in July 2014 + The Wednesday Play: Schmoedipus (1974)

4 June 2014 Rob Buckley Post a comment

It’s time for our regular look at the TV that the BFI is showing, this time in July 2014. Given that it’s the second part of a season dedicated to his work, this month can again best be summed up by two words: Dennis Potter. And why not?

But there’s also a preview of the second series of The Mill, and a couple of events dedicated to children’s TV throughout the ages as well.

I’ll leave you with this week’s Wednesday Play: Potter’s Schmoedipus, starring Tim Curry, Anna Cropper and Bob Hoskins. More on that after the jump, though.
