The Man With the Flower in His Mouth

	Cartier, Rudolph
		He was a television drama director at the BBC from 1952 to the late-1960s (although the BBC preferred the title "producer" for their directors until the 1960s) and he was one of first innovative television stylists working in British television during this period.
		By 1951 the expansion of television was underway: threats of a commercial competitor, and increased funding for the TV department meant that new studios were acquired and re-fitted with fresh equipment (new camera mountings, cranes, etc.).
		One criticism of this technique made by television purists at the time was that the expansion of space gave the plays a cinematic rather than a strictly televisual feel: one critic described his plays as "the trick of making a picture on a TV screen seem as wide and deep as Cinemascope".

		In the subsequent discussions with the Government, the BBC has made clear that its overriding concern is to be able to meet the needs and expectations of licence fee payers at the lowest possible cost.
		The BBC will end the current Charter having met its commitment to achieve a broadly zero debt position.The self-help target of £3.3billion imposed by the Government for the period of the current Charter is on track and will be exceeded.
		It was also a year when the debate about the future of the BBC reached a climax with the publication of a Government White Paper.This presents a picture of a strong BBC, but not one which exists in isolation from the rest of the market.

	NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR (1954 Television Drama / Science Fiction) -- Donald Pleasence
		However, the BBC, always eager to preserve its artistic integrity and independent nature as far as possible, stuck to its guns and went ahead with the performance, which was even introduced live on camera by Head of Drama Michael Barry himself.
		Sadly, this excellent BBC Television version of Nineteen Eighty-Four is almost as erased from the records as Syme himself was.
		However, the BBC were permitted to show the play again in 1994 on BBC-2, which allowed most interested parties to tape their own off-air copies, and it recently surfaced again on digital station BBC-4 in June 2003 as part of the George Orwell centenary celebrations.

	BBC TV License - Why the British Should Kill Their Televisions
		The BBC was formed on October 18, 1922 in order to provide the UK with radio broadcasts of impartial and public-centered news and entertainment.
		Though disrupted because of the war, the BBC's television service started in ernest in June, 1946 when the radio licence was raised to 1 pound and a combined radio and TV licence was introduced for 2 pounds.
		The BBC reported that the reduced evasion added up to an additional £4.6 million, which is "the equivalent of three high-quality drama series." I guess the term "high-quality" is a subjective assessment.

		After initially taking a BBC Television director's course in the 1980s, he briefly moved in front of the cameras to present a single episode of the BBC's famous young children's show "Play School" in 1987, before deciding that his abilities lay in production rather than presenting.
		Working for the children's department at BBC Manchester, from 1988 to 1992 he was the producer of summertime activity show "Why Don't You?" which ironically showcased various things children could be doing rather than sitting at home watching the television.
		In 1991, he wrote his first television drama, a six-part serial for children entitled "Dark Season"; for BBC One, which effectively comprised of two different three-part stories based around a science-fiction / adventure theme.
