Stephen I am very glad you started this thread, an important man indeed. Both the BBC and the BFI agree, of the 96 filmographic records the bfi have for Philip Donnellan, the bfi have 72 holdings against the titles he made for the bbc... let me know if you would like me to list those 72 holdings and indeed, those 24 they have no holdings for... |

I think lists would be good. Then those films that are missing can - maybe - be tracked down. And we will know what does exist. It seems that in 2012 the hosting ISP mediacontentlab.co.uk went out-of-business taking Donnellan's website with it. Luckily Archive.org captured it - and WebWhacker (or some other app.) could download the site reasonably complete. See: web.archive.org/web/20120213081122/http://www.philipdonnellan.co.uk/Interestingly the domain www.philipdonnellan.co.uk still belongs to Birmingham University. It is registered to them to 2016. Quite why they let the website get deleted is a moot point. Meanwhile the response from Professor Long was: "On 20/04/2015, Paul Long <Paul.Long@bcu.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi all - we have administered (and funded) the site at BCU for several years > but there was a domain issues that arose last year that I was unable to > address. > > We have some money at the moment that will aid work on PD and I hope to > re-jig an online presence (there is a Wordpress site which migrated from > Posterous). > > If there is milage in hooking up with CPA, Birmingham Archives do let me > know. > > Paul Long > Professor of Media and Cultural History > Director, Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research > > Room M.344 > Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research > Birmingham School of Media > Birmingham City University > Curzon Street > Birmingham > B4 7XG > > tel: 0121-331-5468 |

Here are another couple of credits from Radio Times:
We Make ‘Em Proud (BBC TX 5 May 1953)
History of the Worcestershire Regiment shot at Norton Barracks. (Probably an OB).
Home Town: Warwick (BBC TX 10 August 1956)
Outside broadcast and film cameras visit the historic town of Warwick.
I'm sure there were lots more Midland only programmes as well in those early years. Donnellan was a film director making his material far more likely to exist now. He also kept extensive amounts of trims that have been deposited in various archives. I would hope that those films not held by the BFI are at the BBC. If they don't there's one more to strike from the list because MACE holds a print of Six Men: Sir Alfred Owen. Donnellan was producer on this and didn't direct it. Also Six Men: John Madin exists in private hands (BFI have a typo for that title as it's Madin and not Maddin).
