They also seemed to attract some famous actors e.g. Harry H Corbett, Honor Blackman, Warren Mitchell. They seem to be generally unavailable but as they seemed to be rerun constantly in the late 1990s on ITV I do have most of them on video. Am also interested in other B movies from the likes of Bryanston/British Lion/Mancunian/Theatrecraft companies. I have found the locations section particularly interesting, let's face it, most films of that era were made in London, so up here in the North East am unlikely to know easily where they were shot.

Welcome

PS can you let us know a bit about the OU Course?

Here's a link to some info about the OU course - it is a broad introduction (although it is a third year course) to film and television history, covering Hollywood, British cinema of the 50s and 60s, European cinemas of the 70s and 80s (German, French and Italian, anyway) and television genres. In other words, the scope is very broad, and as such it's a decent introduction to the field, but rather frustrating (I would have loved a lot more time on British cinema, naturally ).
