| These four teIevision fiIms brought the emerging writing talent of former actor David LeIand 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 particuIar on the polarisation of attitudes towards the role and methods of education in an increasingIy fragmented society. Without overtly offering soIutions, Leland s films depict - often with unnerving acuity and foresight - the experience of individuaIs within systems that have become inadequate in deaIing with the faIlout of sociaI breakdown. Of the four fiIms presented here, Made in Britain, directed by the celebrated AIan Clarke, 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 films won both the Prix Italia and Prix Futura, fuIIy justifying its controversiaI stance and determination to break new ground in television drama. SPEClAL FEATURES: Twice-ToId Tales: the writer and producer join a group of high schooI pupiIs and look back at Tales Out of School 30 years on.
