Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Nigel Kneale is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in television fantasy, notably the creation of Quatermass, and his landmark adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 for the BBC. This book is the first in-depth study of another, arguably lesser known but equally as important, Kneale creation: the 1976 Folk Horror anthology television series, Beasts. Each of the six episodes of Beasts was a stand-alone supernatural drama exploring themes and ideas prevalent throughout Kneale's work, all within the confines of a lowly British television budget. From pilot episode Murrain to cult favourite Baby, Beasts charted an uncanny British landscape, where the ghost of a dolphin haunts an aquarium and a supermarket is plagued by a mysterious animalistic presence. In researching and writing this book, author Andrew Screen was given rare access to Kneale's original scripts and production paperwork and provides an exclusive account of Kneale's trials and tribulations in developing the series. There are also interviews with members of cast and crew, a discussion of episode treatments that were prepared but never realised - and the reasons why Kneale abandoned these at an early stage. Moreover, each storyline is contextualised with real life developments and events, exploring the mythological and cultural inspirations that place the series within its immediate historical framework. Written with full permission from the Kneale estate, THE BOOK OF BEASTS is a comprehensive overview of a cult television series and its enduring impact on viewers today. With a foreword by Johnny Mains. An in-depth overview of Nigel Kneale's 1976 Folk Horror anthology television series, Beasts.

Paperback. Condition: new. Screen, Andrew (illustrator). Paperback. The central humorous theme is the art of deception, imagination and illusion in the year CE 221. Will Julia succeed as temptress? Will Marcus submit? Romans and Greeks unite - visit Capri - attend Circus Maximus and see dancing Satyrs. The story also involves a Trojan War weekend party. The friends take part in fighting, not all willingly. Those having roles as gods and goddesses seem to enjoy the mysteries of appearing just when the action is at its greatest and producing unexpected results. It is a time when the emperor, young Elagabalus, became ruler of the Roman Empire, Elagabalus liked to change from different wives. He also had a husband and for a short time a male lover. But was also mainly interested in providing a goddess statue for his baetyl god Elagabaal. The Roman Empire itself seemed the least of his interests. There are a few flirtations, love affairs, and light-hearted questions about Epicureanism, Sophists, and whether servants are cleverer that their masters. This item is printed on demand.
