JAMES
james-cagney-1982-interview
Acting: 'It's just a job.'
Broadcast 18 February 1982
A resolutely unstarry James Cagney, refuses to let himself be admired as a screen legend as he speaks to Tom Brook about his return to acting in the film 'Ragtime' (1981). Cagney answers questions about his favourite role, discusses how he wants to be remembered and reveals the truth about one of cinema's most memorable catchphrases.
Orson Welles considered James Cagney to be one of the greatest actors of all time and once called him 'a displacer of air', referring to his ability to fill the screen with his presence.

"A most important item in the ceremony is the quaffing of large quantities of rough - the strong, unsweetened Somerset cider."
A note to quaff responsibly, should ye olde tradition of visiting orchards and reciting incantations and singing to the trees in order to promote a good harvest ever pass your way.

1906
1906-the-magic-roses
A film by the pioneering Spanish film director and cinematographer Segundo Chomón. With his innovative use of early splice-based tricks and a penchant for optical illusions he is often compared to the slightly earlier Georges Méliès, and indeed has been dubbed “The Spanish Méliès” by some. Though the similarities are clear, Chomón departs from Méliès in his variety of subjects and his use of animation, an art form he played a key role in developing. In this beautifully coloured short (using Pochoir, a type of stencil process), originally titled Les Roses Magique, a bouquet of roses gives birth to a whole unexpected world, played out against a wonderful floral backdrop.

1967
1967-interview-with-tony-hancock-on-his
The self-destructive genius of comedy, Tony Hancock, returns home from a 5-day tour entertaining British troops in Aden. In this Tyne Tees TV interview, a morose Hancock recalls his RAF Gang Shows during World War Two and talks about performing for live audiences in comparison to TV studio cameras. At the time, Hancock's career was on the wane and his comments about a return to film reveal the comedian's anxiety, fuelled by his increasing dependence on alcohol.
At his peak, Tony Hancock created some of the country's best-loved "loser" comedy characters on radio and TV, achieving stardom with the BBC sitcom Hancock's Half Hour (1954-1961) and later Hancock (1961), wonderfully scripted by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. However, he parted ways with both his co-star Sid James, and his writers in 1961. The quality of his comedy declined. His move into film with The Rebel (1960) and The Punch and Judy Man (1962) was unsuccessful, in Britain and the United States. Increasingly, Hancock turned to drink as his career floundered, an addiction he explained would "send away the tigers". Whilst on a tour of Australia in 1968, Tony Hancock committed suicide, aged 44.
