More episodes from Film 93, always enjoyable.

In the first episode, the films under review are:

There’s a location report on Splitting Heirs, an Eric Idle comedy.

There’s also a very personal tribute to Leslie Norman, Barry’s father, who died that weekend.

In the next episode, Barry looks at the following films:

There’s a report on the difficulty of filming in London.

There’s a quick glimpse of cinematographer Roger Deakins on the set of The Hudsucker Proxy, during the movie news.

BBC Genome: BBC One – 1st March 1993 – 22:10

Before the next episode there’s the end of an episode of Panorama, looking at the development of nuclear weapons in Iran.

There’s a trailer for QED – The Bike.

Then, a special edition of Film 93, devoted to an interview with Al Pacino.

(That’s someone else’s video, to save me uploading one.)

BBC Genome: BBC One – 8th March 1993 – 22:15

Back to the regular format for the next episode, which has reviews of:

All single-word films, which is strange.

In the next episode, Barry Norman looks at the following films:

There’s a report from Tom Brook about Sommersby.

And in the movie news, Barry Norman shows off the new style of video packaging being tried out by CIC. They’re warm to the touch, claim CIC, because enthusiastic collectors “like warm boxes”.

BBC Genome: BBC One – 22nd March 1993 – 22:10

The last episode here has reviews of the following:

There’s another report on the people working in the sound department, this time the dubbing mixer.

There’s a brief interview with director John Hughes, on a rare trip to London, talking about interviewing ‘comedy talent’.

After this, there’s a trailer for Days of Thunder. I ought to watch that one day.

There’s also an ad for the Licence Fee.

Then the tape ends just as an episode of Cagney and Lacey starts. I don’t even get the whole theme tune.

  1. The only reason to watch Days of Thunder is to laugh at the Cruiser’s character name in it, then be surprised it was based on an even more ridiculous real-life name. That’s it.
