They're a Weird Mob (1966)
Sweaty shouty and overlit
This is an ugly film which portrays Australia as stupid racist misogynist and obsessed with beer. It is difficult to believe it was made by Michael Powell but not difficult to believe it was made by someone with no appreciation and understanding of Australia. Would be forgotten if not for the fact it was one of the few films made in Australia in the 1960's.

Brilliant writing and casting
The scripts for this show are so multi layered and tight, full of humour and affection. The cast is perfect - I cared about these people while finding humour in their foibles and failings. A wonderful show.
Gas Light (1939)
No recording of this telecast exists
The review posted here of the 1939 live telecast of this play is not real as there is no recording of this production. There are in fact no recordings of pre war BBC television productions as there was no recording system at the time. Both Telecine (aka Kinescope or telerecording) and videotape did not come in until after the war - videotape not until 1956.
