In this latest bonus nugget of ‘Now and Ben' goodness, our sometime super sub Ben Bailey Smith chats to legendary film & TV writer Stephen Knight. He's penned some of the most exciting scripts to hit our screens over the last three decades, from ‘Dirty Pretty Things' and ‘Locke' to ‘SAS Rogue Heroes' and, of course, ‘Peaky Blinders'. Most recently he's written ‘Maria'—a biopic of opera singer Maria Callas in her last days as she tries to rediscover her voice in time for her swan song. Following 2021's ‘Spencer', it's Knight's second collaboration with director Pablo Larraín. Ben sits down with Steven for an in-depth chat about the exceptional career that's seen him become one of Britain's most prolific and best-known TV & film writers. They talk humble beginnings in British TV comedy with Jasper Carrott, and his journey from the backstreets of Birmingham and the small screen to the bright lights of Hollywood. Ben even gets a cheeky bit of gossip about the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie… Listen out for more of Ben's conversations with cinema's most exciting creative talents dropping into the feed every ‘Now and Ben'… Learn more about your ad choices.

Steven Knight CBE is a screenwriter, producer, and director for film and television. He is best known for creating the TV series Peaky Blinders but he has also turned his hand to feature films, novels, comedy and even gameshows. He co-created the global TV quiz show Who Wants to be a Millionaire. His first film, Dirty Pretty Things, was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards; Peaky Blinders won a BAFTA for Best Drama Series and his writing influences are eclectic. His subjects include chess, cooking, Dickens, Diana, Princess of Wales; the origins of the SAS and a Star Wars sequel. Steven was born in 1959, the youngest of seven children to George and Ida Knight. He grew up in Birmingham where his father hoped that his five sons would follow him into the blacksmith's business. After studying English at University College London, Steven returned to Birmingham and began his career writing radio commercials. He was soon back down in London working at Capital Radio which then led to a career writing comedy for TV, then novels, and eventually screenplays. He is as respected in Hollywood as he is in the UK and more recently he has been instrumental in setting up a new TV and Film studio complex in Birmingham, Digbeth Loc. He is married with seven children and lives in Gloucestershire.DISC ONE: I Want You - Bob Dylan DISC TWO: Summertime - Ella Fitzgerald DISC THREE: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise.

The Brit who created Peaky Blinders has a new series beginning this weekend on EPIX called Rogue Heroes. Steven Knight is a talented and prolific writer (and sometime director) whose credits include Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things, and the remarkable Locke (with frequent collaborator Tom Hardy), to cite just a few credits. Oh—and he was also one of the creators of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He draws on his working-class background to breathe life into everything he tackles, and we are the beneficiaries. Leonard and Jessie loved getting to chat with someone they have admired so long.

It's 2002 and Stephen Frears directs this British social thriller with a cast of future stars: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Audrey Tautou, Sergi López, Sophie Okonedo and Benedict Wong. Our last film of the year, and it's one that may steal your heart (and possibly kidney too).
John Hassall er bassist i engelske The Libertines, hvis skramlede indierock lagde verden ned i 00erne. En forelskelse førte ham til Århus, hvor han har boet i et årti, og hvorfra han nu er aktuel med duoen The Orchid Room (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktPCoc_rKpo) med sangerinden Anne Kei (billedet). En overgang var John ramt af skriveblokering, og for at komme videre blev han rådet til at nærstudere én eneste Beatles-sang. Logikken var, at kan man knække koden til én sang med The Fab Four, har man knækket koden til dem alle! Valget faldt på "I'm Only Sleeping" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT5j9OQ7Sh0) fra Revolver-pladen. En sang, hvis søvnige tekst modsvares af John Lennons rebelske attitude. En kombination, John inspireres af og kan identificere sig med. The Orchid Room er aktuelle med singlen "Be The Light" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktPCoc_rKpo). John Hassall er også en del af bandet John Hassall & The April Rainers (https://www.facebook.com/theaprilrainers). The Libertines (https://www.thelibertines.com/) er stadig aktive og tager på koncertturné i England i slutningen af 2021. Foto: Per Nissen Varighed: 7:03
After celebrating “The Hi-Lo Country” we couldn't help ourselves, and we fell into the deep well of Stephen Frears' filmography. You have nothing to Frear but Frears himself. How is the world wrong about this artist? From Andras: I thought I knew Stephen Frears as a director but after bingeing most of his films I realized I've been viewing him through an American lens. No doubt he made some solid Hollywood movies but it's the UK work that reveals his true quality.

Together with American Songwriter and Sean Ulbs of The Eiffels, we had the pleasure of interviewing Delaney Jane over Zoom video! Delaney Jane is a Juno nominated singer and songwriter from Toronto, Canada. She began her career as a featured vocalist and topline writer on some of the biggest electronic dance records of the past decade.. She spent the early part of her career collaborating with EDM artists like Tiesto, DVBBS, Oliver Heldens, REZZ, Adventure Club, Shaun Frank, and Grandtheft (to name a few), amassing hundreds of millions of streams worldwide.In 2017 her collaboration with Tiesto, “L’amour Toujours”, reached gold record status and became a European smash anthem. The same year, her collaboration with DVBBS & Shaun Frank, “La La Land”, also went certified gold. 2017 also saw Delaney Jane performing on the mainstage with both Tiesto and DVBBS at Ultra Music Festival Miami, doing 2 full tours of Asia & India alongside Shaun Frank, as well as accompanying The Chainsmokers on several dates of their SOLD OUT North American “Memories Do Not Open” Arena tour.In 2018 her more recent collaboration with Grandtheft, “Easy Go”, broke top 40 radio in America and top 10 in Canada, also achieving certified Gold record sales status. More accolades in 2018 were collaborating on tracks with Flo-Rida and Sigala, and being nominated for both a Juno and an MMVA award on her collaborations with Adventure Club (“Limitless”) and Grandtheft (“Easy Go”).In 2018 Delaney also released her first solo single titled “Bad Habits”, independently on her label Dirty Pretty Things. “Bad Habits” quickly stormed both the sales and radio charts, garnering top 10 on Canadian radio in 2 formats (top 40 & AC) and was just certified Gold marking her 4th Gold record in the last 2 years.With the success of “Bad Habits”, Apple music named her one of their top rising artists to watch, Spotify gave her her own playlist cover for “hot new pop sounds”, and iHeart Radio personally invited her to perform “Bad Habits” live at Jingle Ball Toronto alongside The Chainsmokers, Dua Lipa, & Khalid.2019 was another big year for Delaney Jane. She kicked off the year by releasing a full 13 track album which has since gone onto be streamed more than 30 million times. She toured extensively, performing 2 sold out headline performances in her home town of Toronto at the coveted Drake Hotel, a sold out nation wide University campus tour, and made top festival appearances across Canada throughout the summer. All this success lead to her signing a wider label services agreement with her distributor AWAL, making her their next Global priority for 2020 and years beyond.The project is about wanting to escape reality, even if it means leaving everything you know behind. A reflection of how she and so many are feeling this year, Delaney wanted to share a body of work that could help people break free by delivering a project that people could dance to and feel a little lighter listening to. With so much darkness shadowed across the world right now, Somewhere Else is Delaney’s gift to 2020 and everyone enduring it.For this new chapter, Delaney is working with incredible artist and creative director Pilar Zeta, who has been responsible for creating defining moments in visual art and music, including art direction for Coldplay. She’s also working once again with producer Shaun Frank who co-wrote The Chainsmokers colossal chart-topping single ‘Closer’.We want to hear from you!

The Immune System: A Dewey Decimal Novel & Love Maps & The Luminous Heart of Jonah S. (Akashic Books) Join us tonight for a special event brought to you by one of the most exciting independent presses in the country, Akashic Books. The Immune System is the explosive final installment in Nathan Larson's Dewey Decimal trilogy. Picking up months after the events of The Nervous System, Dewey finds himself running dirty operations for the crooked Senator Howard. When Dewey is tasked with disrupting unrest from a growing group of outcast civilians, and simultaneously given the assignment of protecting a pair of Saudi royals, he is forced to look within and make some impossible choices. Ultimately, this puts him at odds with his benefactor and the powers that be. In the course of the novel, we learn the true nature of the 2/14 cataclysm that decimated New York City, and by the end of it, Dewey must choose whether or not to face his own past. He must also decide if he is to be part of the elite control system, or if he's willing to commit himself to the unknown, without the protections he enjoys in the good favor of the landlords of the new New Order. Praise for the Dewey Decimal Series: “The most incredible thing about Larson's novel is just how credible it is . . . and the prose is perfect, as tweaked and jumpy and memorable as the man known as Dewey Decimal. I'm a Library of Congress girl myself, but Larson's uncannily original fiction deserves its own number within any system of library classification.”—Laura Lippman, author of After I'm Gone “Larson's vividly imagined world and his quirky narrator are likely to win him a cadre of loyal fans.”—Publishers Weekly “Whiplash prose, teeth-gnashing dialogue and post-civilization concepts that make a crazy (amateur) librarian in a pitch-black world a hell of a lot of fun . . . A good time for fans of the likes of Charlie Huston and Charles Stross.”—Kirkus Reviews Nathan Larson is an award-winning film music composer, having created the scores for over thirty movies, including Boys Don't Cry, Dirty Pretty Things, and Margin Call. The Dewey Decimal System and The Nervous System are the highly acclaimed first two installments in his Dewey Decimal crime-fiction trilogy. Larson lives in Harlem, New York City, with his wife and son. --- The love in Love Maps is not the kind associated with domestic bliss; it is the kind that bubbles up at inopportune moments, attaching itself to people who might be better off free, causing mayhem and longing, along with moments of rare beauty. The title is taken from a series of paintings by Sarah Marker, an artist who ekes out a living teaching humanities at a fancy high school in Connecticut. The story begins when Sarah receives a letter from Philip, her erstwhile husband. They have lived separately for seven years, without having seen each other once, without having formally severed ties, in a state of sustained ambivalence. Now he wants to visit. As much as Sarah would like to see him, she is terrified at what he will do when he discovers that he has a son. Sarah bundles up her son and once again takes flight, only to arrive in a place she had not intended. While navigating the terrain of the 1980s art scene in New York City, she must confront the terrible events surrounding Philip's departure, and reconcile the expectations of domestic life with her own fractured experience of family, confronting the violence and aching love at the heart of this story. Praise for Love Maps: “Who can plot the turns and reversals of the heart? Who can follow its illogical loyalties and mysterious obsessions? Who can reconcile its competing claims from lovers and family? Eliza Factor, that's who, in this stunningly assured novel about a pair of sisters—one a successful artist, the other a famous singer—and the handsome architect who comes between them. The cover should come with a warning to put your life on hold for a few days, because once you pick it up, you won't be able to do anything else until you finish.”—Bliss Broyard, author of One Drop: My Father's Hidden Life—A Story of Race and Family Secrets “Eliza Factor's second novel is a beautiful and uplifting journey through the New York art scene of the 1980s, as lived by one true artist. You'll be hard-pressed to find a character more fully and honestly revealed across the pages of a book than Sarah Marker. A stunning and original exploration of family, romantic love, and the possibility of healing.”—Joseph Weisberg, creator/executive producer of The Americans (FX Network) “By turns lyrical and flinty, searching and suspenseful, Love Maps is animated by the strivings and travails of characters who seek (and find) the real and the true, the territory instead of the map.”—Thad Ziolkowski, author of Wichita “Eliza Factor's Love Maps is a delight, and I read it with mounting pleasure and admiration. It feels strange to think of Love Maps as a pleasure—this is, after all, a book that captures in technicolor detail the pain and vulnerability that come with just about every variety of human relationship. But prose this witty and psychologically deft, and structures this intricate and heartbreaking, don't come around often.”—Ben Dolnick, author of At the Bottom of Everything Eliza Factor is a writer and the founder of Extreme Kids & Crew. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and three children. Her debut novel, The Mercury Fountain, was published in 2012 by Akashic Books. -- From Tehran to Los Angeles, The Luminous Heart of Jonah S. is a sweeping saga that tells the story of the Soleymans, an Iranian Jewish family tormented for decades by Raphael's Son, a crafty and unscrupulous financier who has futilely claimed to be an heir to the family's fortune. Forty years later in contemporary Los Angeles, Raphael's Son has nearly achieved his goal--until he suddenly disappears, presumed by many to have been murdered. The possible suspects are legion: his long-suffering wife; numerous members of the Soleyman clan exacting revenge; the scores of investors he bankrupted in a Ponzi scheme; or perhaps even his disgruntled bookkeeper and longtime confidant. Award-winning novelist Gina B. Nahai pulls back the curtain on a close-knit community that survived centuries of persecution in Iran before settling and thriving in the United States, but now finds itself divided to the core by one of its own members. By turns hilarious and affecting, The Luminous Heart of Jonah S. examines the eternal bonds of family and community, and the lasting scars of exile. Praise for The Luminous Heart of Jonah S. "A wide-ranging, page-turning, magical realist, multigenerational family saga and Iranian-Jewish-American immigration tale enveloped in a murder mystery...it both entertains and instructs, and its differing genres seem more complimentary than conflicting."--New York Journal of Books "Nahai has crafted an engaging combination of family saga and murder mystery, placed it in the framework of a relatively unknown subculture, and people it with fascinating characters. Flavored with both elements of magical realism and down-to-earth observations, The Luminous Heart of Jonah S. brings a little-known Los Angeles community to vivid life."--Shelf Awareness "What results is a novel that feels more universal than anything, and an engrossing, expansive epic that charts not only thousands years of Iranian Jewish life, but the brutality of one family's survival amidst revolution and cultural upheaval." --Kirkus Reviews "One of the many pleasures of this sprawling, multigenerational story is the way it transcends the specifics of the Iranian diaspora with insights that could apply to anyone."--LA Weekly "One of Nahai's gifts is her astute observation of this community, her own, which she describes with unsparing precision."--Los Angeles Review of Books "Nahai's eye for detail, whether it's succinctly summing up a funeral or providing a description of a Tehran summer, always seems to be spot on."--PopMatters "An intriguing murder-mystery journey anchored within the Iranian-Jewish community of Los Angeles. Vivid and raw...Nahai masterfully introduces us to the mythical and mundane layers that make up Iranian-American identity."--Washington Independent Review of Books "It's the family connections--the true Iranian heritage--that is the luminous heart of the novel."--The Reporter Group Gina B. Nahai is a best-selling author, columnist, and full-time lecturer at USC's Master of Professional Writing Program. Her novels have been translated into eighteen languages, and have been selected as “Best Books of the Year” by the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune. She has also been a finalist for the Orange Prize, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and the Harold U. Ribalow Prize, and has won the Los Angeles Arts Council Award, the Persian Heritage Foundation's Award, the Simon Rockower Award, and the Phi Kappa Phi Award. Her writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles magazine, Publishers Weekly, and the Huffington Post, among others. She writes a monthly column for the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, and is a three-time finalist for an LA Press Club Award. Nahai holds a BA and a Masters degree in International Relations from UCLA, and a Master of Professional Writing from USC. She's a former consultant for the Rand Corporation, and a frequent lecturer on the politics of pre- and postrevolutionary Iran.

Voice Games 6:38 Jocelyn Pook Ensemble Unknown Public 15 - Dancing/Listening 2003 18. Red Sex 5:37 Vessel Punish, Honey 2014 1. Alessi's Ark: Is singer-song-writer Alessi Laurent-Marke from Hammersmith. I nearly lived in Hammersmith, but in fact lived in Barnes, but very north Barnes – it went, our street, St.Pauls school playing fields, the River Thames, Hammersmith. 2. Lisa Gerrard Frequent listeners will know of my love for the contralto voice and of Lisa. When in Australia recently, I found a DVD about her which is part documentary, part music and which is excellent in my opinion. This track is from her latest album which is for download only at this stage. 3. Burial: is William Bevan from London. I've procured both albums so far and in the electronics field – they are top notch. This track's from his first album 4. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse I rather liked Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) and have all of his albums. He took his own life in March 2010. Danger Mouse has gone from strength to strength winning accolades and awards. 5. Casiotone for the painfully alone: is American, Owen Ashworth. He retired the name & songs in 2010 and now performs under the Monika ‘Advance base'. 6. Death in June: are a neofolk group led by English folky Douglas P(earce). They have been around since the beginning of the 80's and through various members have greatly influenced the more Avant garde /Industrial/rock (Nurse with wound; Throbbing Gristle; Current 93…) but with their various phases of performance art, left a nasty taste with, seemingly, their enthrall with a sanitised Nazism back in the 80's. 7. Leyland Kirby again with his evocation of times past using piano, other keyboards a single voice. He recently turned 40 and produced for download an album which has since disappeared. To everyone who purchased & downloaded that album however, he sent a personalised thank you email. How things have changed. 8. Death of the Neighbourhood is simply another one of Stephen Jones's many guises – know now as exBabybird, he also releases work under the Monika's of Black Reindeer; The Great Sadness; Deluder; Trucker as well as under his own name (and all to be found in my record collection) 9. CocoRosie I came to CoCo through Anthony (Hegarty, of ‘& the Johnsons' fame). Weird but wonderful with a confusing a website (probably down to Touch & go records) however, if you are prepared to wait for the download you will be rewarded with the girls singing. I'd stop there if I were you rather than clicking on! 10. Blank Mass: is Ben Power, one the founding members of F*Buttons, now out there on his own but doing rather well. He supported Icelandic band Sigur Ros UK tour last year (2013) 11. Matt Elliott Another of my favourite artists. Like Ben Power, another Bristolian. The music papers tend to bag him as ‘dark folk'. His early albums had a sound of the Eastern Europe and his latest a more Spanish Flamenco feel. This track is from his more Eastern Europe period and as most of his songs are over 8 minutes – this is one chosen for brevity rather than content. I still like it though. 12. Dirty Pretty Things: For Carl Barat, this is what happened after the Libertines fell apart following his dispute with Peter Doherty. It lasted from that time; 2005 until itself fell apart in 2008. 13. Balam Acab I think this track gives a wonderful atmosphere, sounding a little like Moby, except for the other-worldly vocals. Now overdue for another album I think. 14. Capt. Beefheart The Captain was and still is different. Not for the feint hearted, Beefheart was different with a capitol D. He is part of what is now termed ‘outsider music'. I loved Strictly Personal his second commercial LP in UK (after Safe as milk – also very good, so why did I sell it?) and before the famous Troutmask Replica. Troutmask was too over the top for many and compared with his first two albums – it is. However, Strictly P points the way with such great numbers as Gimme dat harp boy. That track, available on a compilation album, Gutbucket gave me my first glimpse of Beefheart-world and I had to go there, own the album, sing the tunes…. I regret selling his later works (Lick my decals off & Clear Spot). The ‘Mirror man' sessions have been re-released and ‘Electricity' from Safe as Milk always makes me think about watching the first pylons being constructed in the West Midlands to carry the demand for electricity following the baby boom. It was interesting watching the steeplejacks construct these things, but when they had moved down the line one was left with a scar on the land which forever changed Britain. I'm always reminded of this when I visit Tuscany. Hardly a pylon in sight and yet in England, no beautiful scenic part of the island can be seen without these lumps of metal, stretching out across the landscape. I saw the Captain in concert and festival several times, back in the day. He's gone now. 15. Amon Tobin is a Brazilian musician, composer and producer of electronic music. He is described as a virtuoso sound designer and is considered to be one of the most influential electronic music artists in the world. I bought a box set of retro stuff which includes a dvd to his concert for his work Isam – unbelievable at the time and I haven't seen anything like it since. 16. FKA Twigs Formally Known As Twigs because, like Dirty Pretty Things of a few tracks ago – someone else disputed use of the name as they had been using it for longer – so unlike DPT who worked live under the name ‘Bright Young Things' - Twigs opted for the ‘Prince' like, FKA. 17. Jocelyn Pook Ensemble The Unknown Public box sets are rather splendid in providing an introduction to the wonderful world of weird. This track is one of the more straight-forward on this set (Vol 15). 18. Vessel Yet another Bristolian, Seb Gainsborough. I lived in Bristol for a year. Always thought I'd return one day – but doubtful now. Bristol seems to have moved from the home of Trip-hop and Bass to Electronica! Using techno and house as a jumping off point Vessel manages to twist these things into something unconventional and alien, often creating music that sounds as if it's rhythmically out of control when in fact it's all tightly controlled chaos. I love it. 19. Dropping out with Kevin Ayres Enjoy, Peter
Steven Knight, writer of Eastern Promises and Dirty Pretty Things, talks directing Tom Hardy in the acclaimed real-time thriller, Locke!
* The audio at the start of this interview is a bit sketchy, but it does get better. Please be patient. Ivan Locke (Hardy) has worked diligently to craft the life he has envisioned, dedicating himself to the job that he loves and the family he adores. On the eve of the biggest challenge of his career, Ivan receives a phone call that sets in motion a series of events that will unravel his family, job, and soul. All taking place over the course of one absolutely riveting car ride, LOCKE is an exploration of how one decision can lead to the complete collapse of a life. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Knight (EASTERN PROMISES, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS) and driven by an unforgettable performance by Tom Hardy, LOCKE is a thrillingly unique cinematic experience of a man fighting to salvage all that is important to him. Director Knight joins us to talk about pulling together the cinematic high-wire act of doing an entire film with one actor and one setting. And the satisfaction that come with getting it right. For news and updates on Locke go to: http://locke-movie.com/
This week we come back from a holiday break with Barry Cuda, a Key West piano extraordinaire, 2005 UK Garage Rock band The Libertines, from whom the two singers from that band moved to there solo careers Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty Things.
Film director Stephen Frears discusses the life of his mentor, Czech-born director, Karel Reisz, with the help of critic and Reisz's friend, John Lahr. Frears is one of Britain's most successful directors, responsible for "My Beautiful Laundrette", "Dangerous Liaisons", and "Dirty Pretty Things", among many others. Reisz is probably best known for "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning", and "The French Lieutenant's Woman". "Karel took me into his life and into his family and he took on the business of turning me into whatever it is I've become," Frears has said. "Without him, I wouldn't have become a film director". Matthew Parris chairs the discussion.

We also discuss future collaborations with rising Philly heavyweight Jakk Frost, his hopes of working with Kanye West again and much more! Rapper Big Pooh has every reason to be proud.

In this interview the ever optimistic and ambitious Consequence talks the creation of Curb Certified and its recent leaks, plans of working with DJ Premier, Jay Dilla, hardships of his past, Don't Quit Your Day Job and it's relevance with today’s political climate plus more. Statik Selektah joins us in busy form to discuss his new production for Eminem, to be featured on Eminem's forthcoming collaborative effort with Obie Trice. Forever working, Statik tells of his plans to make an album in a day with Bun B, as well as his reaction of some people to his latest compilation Population Control. We take time to discuss Nas' new album, a project that Statik has a firm hand in, as well as his hopes to work on future Slaughterhouse material. A rapid update. Blacastan is a master and builder, crafting some of Hip Hop' strongest architecture, so it was a pleasure to build with the workhorse about his new project; Master Builder 2, which is scheduled for release early 2012. We also talk his recent accomplishments such as his recent induction into the Demigodz, landing a spot on Violence Begets Violence, forthcoming collaborations wth AOTP and Celph Titled, performing, his grass roots grind and more before being joined by Jus Allah and Virtuoso for an update on their new projects and a fatal three way acapella. Essential listening! The People Under The Stairs are back, joining us in the form of one half of the group's Thes-One to hold a detailed discussion on their fantastic album Highlighter. Rated as one of the most consistently innovative groups to emerge from L.A., Thes-One talks us through the creation of Highlighter and identifies the reasons behind choosing to record it at multiple hand-picked studios in Los Angeles.

Eligh and Amplive step into the studio for a candid therapy session and discussion regarding their forthcoming release Therapy At 3. We discuss the origins of the album and the aesthetics of its creation, Eligh's writing process, the therapy of touring versus the therapy of recording, being therapists of each others work together in the process of communication, creative approaches and more.

This week Sue Lawley's castaway is the film director Stephen Frears. His film credits include My Beautiful Launderette, When Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity and, most recently, Dirty Pretty Things. He is one of Britain's most talented and well-known directors, achieving success with his Hollywood work as much as for low budget, British productions. He was born in Leicester in 1941 and, despite studying law at Cambridge, was not tempted to train to be a lawyer, and instead sought employment at the ground-breaking Royal Court Theatre in London. He left the Royal Court in the 1960s to work with the highly acclaimed Czech film-maker Karel Reisz. His television work has included many collaborations with Alan Bennett, but it wasn't until the 1980s that he became famous with a film that was initially destined for television, which was so successful it was released to cinemas.

His film credits include My Beautiful Launderette, When Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity and, most recently, Dirty Pretty Things. He is one of Britain's most talented and well-known directors, achieving success with his Hollywood work as much as for low budget, British productions. He was born in Leicester in 1941 and, despite studying law at Cambridge, was not tempted to train to be a lawyer, and instead sought employment at the ground-breaking Royal Court Theatre in London. He left the Royal Court in the 1960s to work with the highly acclaimed Czech film-maker Karel Reisz. His television work has included many collaborations with Alan Bennett, but it wasn't until the 1980s that he became famous with a film that was initially destined for television, which was so successful it was released to cinemas. It was 'My Beautiful Launderette' - starring a then unknown Daniel Day Lewis and examining the racial and sexual tensions of Thatcher's Britain.
