ken loach

This week on SMR, we're thrilled to be able to welcome arguably Britain's most important living filmmaker, the double Palme d'Or winning, Ken Loach!

Speaking exclusively to us about his new film, philosophy of film making, plenty of politics and, err, football - Ken was a truly delightful guest! Needless to say, it was a privilege and honour to speak to one of our heroes!

As if that wasn't already enough, we catch up with Graham Hughes, fresh back from Lviv, Ukraine and Polish Anti Racism charity, Never Again!

PLUS: There's music from The Dowling Poole, Rosemary Schonfeld, The Soothsayers and are NEW featured artist, Louise Harris with a contender for next year's Song of the Year!

Oh, and 30 minutes of topical "rants and bants" to kick things off!

This week on SMR, like pretty much everyone else seems to have done, we've "misplaced our Elgins" behind the sofa! Or something like that!

Featuring a brand new song from one of last week's Top of the Poppers, fresh comedy from The Exploding Heads and Matt Green, this is a show that aims to scale the heights of Mount Lunacy without any of the proper gear or essential breathing apparatus!

Some of us may not return!

With EVERYTHING you need to know about the "week that was" PLUS a steady flow of optimism from Rob Groves, Sir John Curtice and others, the only thing this show lacks is a Minister for Common Se...

....Ooops! Spoke too soon!

Susanna Fogel on Cat Person, a sharp examination of the horrors of dating born from a New Yorker story that went viral, and Ken Loach on what may be his final film.

Freshly nominated for an Emmy award, we meet The Handmaid's Tale's Australian star Yvonne Strahovski who stars in a new sci-fi. Director Emma Seligman chats about her indie festival hit Shiva Baby, and Spanish filmmaker Icíar Bollaín on her subverted rom-com Rosa's Wedding.

Nell Dunn came to notice with the publication of Up the Junction (1963), a series of short stories set in South London, some of which had already appeared in the New Statesman. The book, awarded the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, was a controversial success at the time for its vibrant, realistic and non-judgmental portrait of its working-class protagonists. It was adapted for television by Dunn, with Ken Loach, for The Wednesday Play series, which was directed by Loach and broadcast in November 1965. A cinema film version was released in 1968.

Talking to Women (1965) was a collection of interviews with nine friends, "from society heiresses to factory workers (Dunn herself was both)". The interviewees included Edna O’Brien, Pauline Boty, Ann Quin and Paddy Kitchen.[5] Dunn's first novel, Poor Cow (1967) was a bestseller, achieving a succès de scandale. Poor Cow was made into a film starring Carol White and Terence Stamp, under Loach's direction.

Her later books are Grandmothers (1991) and My Silver Shoes (1996). Dunn's play Steaming was produced in 1981 and a television film Every Breath You Take, was transmitted in 1987. She has also written Sisters, a film script commissioned by the BBC.

She won the 1982 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.  Her latest novel is the Muse.

Amanda has appeared in two Told by an Idiot shows: The Firework-maker's Daughter and Playing the Victim.

Set in a coal mining community in Yorkshire, the movie “Kes” tells the story of 15-year-old Billy Casper, who is in many ways a victim of his environment: He’s picked on at school and at home, and the adults in his life have given up on him. But he begins to find freedom and refuge when he starts training a kestrel hawk. Podcast producer June Thomas, who grew up in a similar community to the one portrayed in “Kes,” says it’s this realism that helped her connect with her hometown in Northern England, even years after she left.

June Thomas is the senior managing producer of Slate Podcasts. She co-hosts their show on gender, relationships, and feminism, called “The Waves.”
