	Euston Films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		It was a subsidiary company of Thames Television, and operated from the 1970s to the 1990s, producing various series for Thames, which were screened nationally on the ITV network.
		The company was disbanded soon after Thames lost their ITV franchise for broadcasting on weekdays in London in 1992 and was merged with Talkback.

	Oscar Wilde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day, known for his barbed and clever wit, he suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned after being convicted in a famous trial of "gross indecency" for his homosexuality.
		Two films of his life were released in 1960.
		At the time homosexuality was still punishable by a jail sentence in the UK and both films were rather cagey in touching on the subject without being explicit about it.

		Because of this the number of different filming locations had to be restricted to ten, ie: one location per day.
		The film was followed by a third and then fourth TV series, and then another film, Sweeney 2.

	Verity Lambert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Verity Lambert (born November 27, 1935 in London, England, UK) is a British television and film producer, best known for producing the science-fiction series Doctor Who for the BBC for its first two years, from 1963 to 1965.
		She remained as Chief Executive of Euston Films until late 1983, in 1982 also rejoining the staff of parent company Thames Television as Director of Drama, and being given a seat on the company's board.
		Her job here was somewhat frustrating as the British film industry was in one of its periodic states of flux, but she did manage to produce some noteworthy features, perhaps the best remembered being the 1986 John Cleese vehicle Clockwise.

	Sweeney, The
		The series was created by Ian Kennedy-Martin and produced by Ted Childs for Euston Films (a Thames Television subsidiary) and went out mid-week in prime-time on ITV, the main commercial channel.
		The series secured the reputation of Euston Films as a leading production company and created an influential model in Britain not just for crime series on ITV, but for the production of cost-effective, high quality drama in general.
		The lean and efficient production operation that Euston had pioneered in The Sweeney, relying on short-term contracts and shooting wholly with 16mm film, has been generally adopted across the industry and, with the exception of soap opera, the great majority of drama projects today are manned by free-lance crews and produced on film.

		Euston Films however, would only back the project if it was written to work in two forms, the four separate one hour episodes and a shortened single film to be commercially released and to be sold abroad, entitled The Quatermass Conclusion.
		The film was produced over 1979 and ready for transmission for the autumn season.
		With Sir John Mills in the title role along with Simon McCorkindale and Barbara Kellerman in supporting roles, the return of Quatermass was hugely important to the ITV Network who in September 1979 were still reeling from seventy-five days off air due to a major technicians strike.

	Sweeney 2 (1978) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This film is rarely shown and so it was a treat to watch it the other day.
		The first thing you notice is the liberal use of the f-word which probably did the film no favours in the 1970's as the TV series was watched, in the main, by under 15's.
		This includes car chases, scraps, extremely non-PC moments, and amusingly comic overtones, especially the odd scene where the bomb squad and sweeney have a booze-up in a hotel knowing that a device is being defused in one of the rooms (an incident that today would plaster the front pages of the newspapers for months afterwards).

	Charlie Muffin - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A Euston Films production, the movie features David Hemmings, Sir Ralph Richardson, Sam Wanamaker, Pinkas Braun, Ian Richardson, Shane Rimmer and Jennie Linden and was directed by Jack Gold.
		Right at the start of the film, we witness how poor Charlie has evidently been deemed expendable and accordingly gets set up to be caught or killed during a joint mission in East Germany — this despite Muffin essentially having been responsible for the mission's success.
		Despite extensive use of satirical humor in the film, and despite its spy thriller storyline, it does, with its anti-hero Muffin, have its uplifting moments.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, "Quatermass" (1979)
		As I became more interested in the background behind the series, I discovered that each of these films had been made earlier as BBC serials: "The Quatermass Experiment" in 1953, "Quatermass 2" in 1955, and "Quatermass and the Pit" in 1958.
		Mills was a veteran actor already when he came to the role—he'd been working in films since the 30s—and it shows.
		The energy beam itself, which should be one of the most stunning effects of the film just comes across as a non-descript wash of light.
