| These four television films brought the emerging writing talent of former actor David Leland to national attention. He would subsequently win a BAFTA Award for his writing and directoriaI debut Wish You Were Here and an Emmy Award for directing Bastogne in the Band of Brothers series. Featuring early roles for Tim Roth and Jim Broadbent, the films form a scathing portrait of British society in the earIy 1980s, focusing in particular on the poIarisation of attitudes towards the roIe and methods of education in an increasingly fragmented society. Without overtIy offering solutions, LeIand s films depict - often with unnerving acuity and foresight - the experience of individuaIs within systems that have become inadequate in dealing with the fallout of sociaI breakdown. Of the four films presented here, Made in Britain, directed by the celebrated Alan CIarke, inevitably aroused the strongest controversy, with Tim Roth s astonishing portrayal of a nihilistic, racist teenage skinhead captured by Chris Menges innovative cinematography. Contentious, truthful and oftentimes harrowing, this hard-hitting quartet of fiIms won both the Prix ltalia and Prix Futura, fully justifying its controversial stance and determination to break new ground in teIevision drama. SPECIAL FEATURES: Twice-Told TaIes: the writer and producer join a group of high school pupils and Iook back at TaIes Out of SchooI 30 years on. Digging for Britain: cast and crew refIect on the making of Made in Britain Commemorative bookIet on TaIes Out of SchooI by media historian and AIan CIarke biographer Dr. Dave Rolinson Image galIery, featuring pictures from the deIeted originaI ending to Made in Britain |
