A special pro-rogue edition of Music for Films, the underground film podcast, kept in reserve for times of national emergency. Roz and Tim showcase their field recordings of London streets and locations, from some of the holy places of cinema and pop culture: Bowie's birthplace in Stockwell, Roz's memories of serial killer Dennis Nilson, and Angela Carter's favourite cinema, the Grenada in Tooting.

1 hour 43 min podcast version. Not safe for work. Contains some swearing and adult themes. Interesting people talk about the music, films and music for films which have shaped their lives. Roz Kaveney, Tim Concannon and their guest Andrew Smith wander down busy Caledonian Road in North London, to Housmans peace bookshop near to Kings Cross station. They discuss two linked technologies produced by the atomic age, computers and nuclear arms, and the ways that the peace movement and radicalism have responded to both being part of modern armed conflict. The starting point for the conversation is Pete Watkins’s 1965 film for the BBC, banned from broadcast at the time, ‘The War Game‘. Made two decades before ‘Threads‘ and Raymond Briggs’s ‘Where the Wind Blows‘, Pete Watkins’s film is a documentary-style depiction of Britain under nuclear attack. It was withdrawn before transmission by the BBC under government pressure, but went on to win an Oscar for Best Documentary. Caledonian Road is notable for two things: its longstanding Irish community and Housmans Bookshop, opened in 1959 and named after Laurence Houseman the gay, pacifist playwright who suggested the Peace Pledge Union establish a permanent base in 1948. As well as publishing Peace News, it became a focus of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament . The two worlds converged in 1974 when an IRA bomb blew up the pillar box outside the shop. The explosion incinerated all the copies of Campaign Against Arms Trade’s first newsletter.

Tim Concannon and Shruti Narayanswamy discuss the 2008 film 'How to Lose Friends & Alienate People' in light of Toby Young's appointment to - and resignation before taking up his post at - the Office for Students, and in light of the crisis of male power in the entertainment industry and in culture generally following the Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey scandals.

There's a preview of a show for 2018 talking to Peter Howden, the programmer of the Electric Cinema Club in Notting Hill, arguably the most influential counter cultural film theatre in Sixties London. Roz and Tim also revisit a 2016 stroll from the Cinema Museum to one of Chaplin's childhood homes in Kennington, and a 2012 walk round a corner of Greenwich Village, New York and the magic space where revolutionaries in jazz, the rights of man, and the rights of the LGBT community worldwide, all cross paths.

Tim Concannon, Roz Kaveney and Shruti Narayanswamy visit Chester Mews, Regent's Park, where a Nazi marching band from a parallel universe once walked past the door of Defence Minister John Profumo. Over eight years, directors Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo made 'It Happened Here', a chillingly believable depiction of a Nazi dominated England and of the brutality of partisan resistance. Incredibly, given the nuance and sophistication of the film, they began it as teenagers, shooting on 16mm with volunteer extras, some of whom were real Blackshirts. The American trailer cost more than the entire budget of the actual movie. One of the favourite films of our guest Pat Mills, legendary comics author and editor of 'Battle' and '2000AD', the film's discussed in light of the clear and present dangers of national myths about two world wars.
