This very busy site offers electronic versions of both its published TV and radio listings, although covering a fortnight instead of just one week, as well as its Film Guide which can be searched by title or personality. There is a Radio Times Video Archive that streams footage from Radio Times photo shoots (using Real and WMP). The Download section gives direct access to a range of television and radio programmes, some free and some chargeable, from sources including Five, Channel 4, Living and the South Bank Show.
This compact and well organised site has over 900 movie soundtrack reviews (predominantly made up of releases from the last 5 years) as well as profiles of some 350 film composers, as well as links to other film music sites and a general bibliography. In addition there are a few interviews with the likes of Jerry Goldsmith and Hans Zimmer and many audio clips from over 100 soundtracks which will require RealPlayer to hear.
The Missing Link is devoted to British and American horror films and aims to provide a comprehensive listing of all those made up to 1950, with slightly scantier information taking it into the 1960s. The site includes film and book reviews and more general articles on particular personalities or themes, which are well researched and surprisingly in-depth. It is possible to search by title and by personality and many of the reviews include both video and audio clips which can be viewed using RealPlayer.
Stylishly-designed online ‘audio-driven’ forum for debate about theatre in London and beyond. Its archive includes forum discussions of plays, interviews, reviews and debates, including contributions from Michael Billington and Richard Eyre. Technical support is provided by the Theatre Museum. There are a few transcriptions available.
Since its launch in 2000 as the community forum for the magazine ‘Home Cinema Choice Online’ this set of forums has grown so as to become the official community for several of the major UK consumer electronics magazines and provides a wealth of useful information, advice and reviews in this rapidly changing environment. Free registration is required. There is an extensive range of videos on shows, features, reviews, products and tutorials, and a podcast is also offered.
This site celebrates the life and work of British film director and editor, David Lean. Most of the materials are taken from the British Film Institute’s Special Collections and include jpegs of press books, stills, reviews, scripts, designs and correspondence. All his films as director as well as many on which he served as editor are analysed and many extracts from the films themselves can can be viewed either with RealPlayer or Windows MediaPlayer. Please note that this resource is currently as an old site. David Lean’s films can be watched via the BFIplayer, with a subscription.
Previously a subscription service known as Tookeys Film Guide, this is now advert-supported and therefore much more accessible. It remains a fairly large and certainly up-to-date database, detailing the often eccentric opinions of film critic Christopher Tookey which can be searched by title, personality, year, keyword and genre. It also provides a very useful sampling of opinions by other critics as well as a rather dubious rating system. Now includes some of Tookey’s BBC Radio broadcasts.
