IMDb At the Haunted End of the Day

[maturin]

I'm in the process of entering my movie collection into 'My Movies" on the IMDb site and I see that the 1981 South Bank Show programme on William Walton, At the Haunted End of the Day, doesn't seem to be in the database.

It's a brilliantly conceived, well-produced and funny profile of Willy Walton which follows him from a terraced house in Oldham, through Oxford and the Sitwells to his beautiful villa in Italy.

I can understand that a lot of TV episodes are not yet included, but this one has been issued on an excellent Decca DVD:

Decca Music Group - New Release

I'm wondering if it's in some odd nook of the database that I missed and, if not, how it can be added to IMDb.

In an earlier post on Some of our Airmen Are No Longer Missing Steve listed the information necessary for inclusion in the database (which I have), but I don't know how to make the application.

Cheers,

Richard

This one should be submitted as an episode in a series, rather than a standalone title in its own right.



If you go to the page for "The South Bank Show" (1978) there's an Add Episode button near the bottom on the page. Hit that and they'll ask you to supply at least one of the:

• Episode title
  
• Episode release date (first screening)
  
• Episode number

The episode title you give above as At the Haunted End of the Day so that's enough to get it accepted. But if you can also provide the release date and/or the episode number (series and episode) so that it can be made to fit into the episode list in the right place.



As usual, the more information you can add the better. For episodes of The South Bank Show it's often only Bragg and the person being interviewed on screen. If there's anyone else involved, like people talking about Walton, then they can be added as cast if they're identified on screen by being in the cast list or a caption under their name. Or even if they're just introduced by name.



And any cast and crew you can name would be useful as well.



If you have any problems, give me a shout



Have a look around the web for more information about it. Like it's offered on Amazon.co.uk and a review there tells us that it was "First screened on ITV's South Bank Show in 1981".



And a review in the New York Times mentions some other people in it (Julian Bream, Yehudi Menuhin, Laurence Olivier) and the director (Tony Palmer).



You soon become a bit of a detective when adding information to the IMDb

Thanks Steve, I'll give it a go and do my bit for posterity, not to mention famous scions of Oldham.
