The history of film and video censorship in Great Britain.

Documentary about Humphrey Jennings, an English documentary filmmaker from the 1930s to 1950.

This well researched and insightful documentary about producer John Nathan-Turner looks at his career with a special emphasis on his time at Doctor Who which he worked on throughout the 1980s until the show went on hiatus following the Season 26 story ‘Survival’. Featuring rare footage and commentary from those who knew him and worked with him, Showman is a fascinating look at the life of a troubled showman with lots of stories to tell.

A dramatized documentary looking at how the British Board of Film Censors imposed an extraordinary stranglehold over the content of British cinema in the 1930s and exposing their deliberations, opinions and prejudices.
