Look Around You

Time for our regular look at the TV that the BFI is showing, this time in the month of January 2012. As well as the start of its three-month long Dickens on Screen season and a preview of BBC2’s ‘definitely not Between The Lines, honest’ police drama about corruption investigations Line of Duty (coincidentally made by World Productions, too), there is the truly awesome news that Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz are going to be at the 10th anniversary screening of series one of Look Around You, for which they’ve made a short film especially.

Now how’s that for a happy new year?

Lost Hearts

It’s a marvellous smorgasbord of TV in December at the BFI. Hoorah! The preview of Sherlock that was supposed to be on last month is showing on the 6th. There are previous of BBC2’s adaptation of Dickens’ The Mystery of Edwin Drood as well as an Arena documentary about Dickens adaptations. There are two more archive recoveries from the Library of Congress, as well as the yearly ‘Missing Believed Wiped’ featuring a ‘treat for sci-fi fans’. There’s also a Peter Kosminsky season, including Britz and The Project (although unfortunately no Shoot To Kill), as well as two episodes of A Ghost Story for Christmas, including the marvellous The Signalman.

But best of all, there’s a reshowing of 80s children’s drama Moondial (tagline: ‘What happens when the moon shines on a sundial?’)

I should also point out that in December, the BFI Mediatheque will have (free to view) 10 episodes of A Ghost Story For Christmas: The Stalls of Barchester, A Warning to the Curious, Lost Hearts, The Treasure of Abbot Thomas, The Ash Tree, The Signalman, Stigma, The Ice House, A View From A Hill and Number 13. Go watch them – they’re blinking marvellous.

Not a lot of tele at the BFI in November this year, but what there is is top quality: a preview of the first episode of the new series of Sherlock, as well as a Q&A with Sharon Gless and Barney Rosenzweig to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Cagney and Lacey. And on top of that, there’s also a lost ITV play recovered from the Library of Congress and starring Charles Gray and Susannah York.
