Daniel Farson's Guide to Britain: Volume 1

Overview

Description: Farson became a larger-than-life fixture of Soho in the 1950s, socializing with the likes of artist Francis Bacon and photographer John Deakin. But he was also a groundbreaking investigative journalist, reshaping approaches to screen reportage with the many dynamic television films he presented for Associated-Rediffusion in the late 1950s and early 1960s, finding widespread fame and acclaim along the way. In VOLUME 1, join the intrepid investigator – who paved the way for later program makers of the Louis Theroux school – as he takes a look at subjects ranging from Soho striptease, alien visitations and the Cavern Club in the afterglow of the Beatles, to witchcraft, the cult of celebrity and much more. All but one of the programs have not previously been released on any home entertainment format. Special features include newly recorded audio commentaries on selected programs by a variety of contributors.
