Synopsis |
The UK Music Hall of Fame saw the British public celebrating the greatest music legends of all time. A panel comprising respected artists from all eras, music journalists, broadcasters and music industry executives was established to create shortlists of artists spanning five musical decades- the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. The series took an in depth look at each of these decades and called on the British public to vote for which of the nominated performers should join the UK Music Hall of Fame. |

Any music programmes are impressive in clearance terms alone, but this was excellent archive work. The clips bounced along, nicely edited, good transfer work. I especially liked angry man with “filthy stinking” Britain of the 70’s. There were lots of good moments, the director truly likes archive.
The 70’s – good archive, fun program, nothing unusual but lots of good music and promos, good quality, moved along at a good pace. Clips, music and news archive was blended to give interest and add context to the narrative. |

Synopsis |
In every day life we all have a sixth sense. Some of us are masters of it. Others don’t realise it exists. Some use it to make others trust them, love them – or keep them in their jobs. Even if you don’t know it, you constantly give away tell tale signs about what you’re thinking and what you want other people to think of you. Peter Collett, former Oxford don and Big Brother resident psychologist, introduces us to the fascinating concept of Tells – a new vocabulary of body language. A TELL is anything that reveals what someone is thinking – a cough, how they speak, where they look. They’re known well to poker players trying to read the faces and actions of their opponents where thousands of pounds can be won if you read the tells correctly. TELLS are also seen in the workplace to let us know whose boss, and by our leaders to make us trust them and think they care. Politicians including Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and George Bush reveal far more than they mean to with their own trademark tells. Decode the tell tale signs of power – and you discover what the powerful are trying to hide. |

Slick, labour intensive work. Good footage that could really only be done when in close contact with the library. Production and library working in unison, is the only way a result like this can happen.
Good use of archive, interesting film. Took a lot of research to find just the right clips. Programme driven by the clips to demonstrate their subjects. Should also be entered for best research too.
Interesting analysis of archive clips which are integral to programme. Studied use of archive footage, engaging, amusing and informative.
Excellent use of footage, funny and intelligent. |

Synopsis |
The Ninth Symphony Directed by Pierre-Henry Salfati Romantic musicians made it a symbol of their art. Bakounine, who dreamt of destroying the bourgeois world, was prepared to save nothing but The Ode to Joy. German Nationalists venerated it. French Republicans saw in it the designs of 1789: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" ! A "Marseillaise for all humanity" it was called in Paris in the XIXth. Édouard Herriot wanted to translate the Ode into Esperanto ! The communists conceived it as the gospel of a classless world. The Catholics, simply as the gospel ! The democrats, as democracy ! Socialists hesitated between The International and The Ode to Joy ! Hitler inaugurated the IIIrd Reich with The Ninth ! And celebrated his anniversaries with The Ode to Joy. Japanese Kamikazes listened to it before their final assault. The Olympic Games habitually made it resound. The NASA sent it into space recorded on a golden disk… It was the anthem of the racist Republic of Rhodesia. The UN wished to make it the world anthem… It was heard, not often, in Sarajevo. Today it is the anthem of the European Union. This short listing illustrates the breadth of consensus. Since its creation in 1824, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is, within Occidental music, the work that has had the most notable acclaim. The track record of The Ninth Symphony has been a dazzling one, to the point of becoming an unprecedented phenomenon in the inception of the political hymns of nationalism in the modern age. A chain of sound that is a veritable fixation in the Occident, The Ninth has long been the touchstone of a musical cult associated to the "Beethoven Myth". The question remains: How its universal message: "All men become brothers", can have been the object of so many contradictory and incompatible appropriations ? |

Brilliant footage
and even the recreations worked well.
The Beethoven actor wasn’t a ham, which helps and the footage was used with such confidence that the whole thing pulled together.
Excellent use of archive to illustrate the story. Fascinating and wholly engaging use of archive images to illustrate music in the context of its time and culture. |
