Glenda Jackson 1976

After the successes with the Barry Humphries and Mel Brooks interviews Mark Caldwell and myself wanted to get some UK actors on video. As will happen, many things came about at the same time in 1976. The closure of the first studio (seen in the tour video), a total move of location and creation of a new larger studio and the securing of Glenda Jackson for an interview.

The interview agreement happened right at the time when we had no studio at all. We tried to get access to the ILEA studio where we interviewed people like Terry-Thomas and Dirk Bogarde, but this was fully booked. So, I suggested to Mark that we ask one of our major equipment suppliers for help. They had a 'showcase' studio in central London that was sitting there and was available. We made a trade-off for not paying for its hire by giving them some great publicity with a major film star like Glenda Jackson. The result was an interesting interview and the bonus was the fact that, for the first time, we worked in colour.

This is the un-edited full colour version taken from the only recording made and it's showing its age too. The master edit with film clips was in black & white.
