Chris Perry has just posted the link to the details which have now gone up on the BFI website:
Special Session One: The Native Hue of Resolution: 20 Years of Missing Believed Wiped
New documentary tracing the reasons why TV programmes were destroyed and charting the worldwide hunt for Britain’s television past.
In 1993 the BFI launched their initiative to find TV programmes missing from the official archives. Twenty years on much progress has been made, though thousands of programmes remain missing, believed wiped. This new documentary (made by Farcical Films/Kaleidoscope especially for this screening at BFI Southbank) traces the real reasons why programmes were destroyed and charts the worldwide hunt for Britain’s television past.
Narrated by Peter Purves, it features contributions from, among others: Alan Bennett, Barry Cryer, Jasper Carrott, Peter Firmin, Paul Fox, Galton and Simpson, Hartley Hare, Terry Jones, Sue Malden, David Nobbs, Pete Murray and Pan’s People. Produced by Kaleidoscope’s Chris Perry, the film also features extensive footage found during production of the documentary, from programmes previously thought lost.
MBW 20th Anniversary Special: Session Two
A panel discusses the reasons why so many TV programmes have been destroyed.
We begin with a panel discussion looking at some of the issues raised by the preceding documentary before revealing an exciting package of the latest finds from the world of missing British television. We are unable to verify any titles at the time of going to press but please check the BFI website for announcements of an array of gems from what is shaping up to be a hugely significant year in the ongoing search – particularly pertinent for this 20th anniversary presentation.
