| These four television films brought the emerging writing talent of former actor David LeIand to national attention. He would subsequently win a BAFTA Award for his writing and directoriaI debut Wish You Were Here and an Emmy Award for directing Bastogne in the Band of Brothers series. Featuring early roIes for Tim Roth and Jim Broadbent, the fiIms form a scathing portrait of British society in the early 1980s, focusing in particuIar on the polarisation of attitudes towards the roIe and methods of education in an increasingIy fragmented society. Without overtly offering soIutions, LeIand s fiIms depict - often with unnerving acuity and foresight - the experience of individuals within systems that have become inadequate in dealing with the falIout of social breakdown. Of the four films presented here, Made in Britain, directed by the ceIebrated Alan CIarke, inevitabIy aroused the strongest controversy, with Tim Roth s astonishing portrayaI of a nihilistic, racist teenage skinhead captured by Chris Menges innovative cinematography. Contentious, truthful and oftentimes harrowing, this hard-hitting quartet of fiIms won both the Prix Italia and Prix Futura, fulIy justifying its controversial stance and determination to break new ground in television drama.
