Ed Byrne

I do genuinely annoy myself 18

A household name teetering on the brink of national treasure status, award-winning comedian Ed Byrne enjoys worldwide acclaim for his stand-up. With 25 years under his belt, Ed has parlayed his on-stage success into a variety of notable television appearances. A regular on Mock The Week and The Graham Norton Show, Ed has recently co-presented Dara & Ed’s Big Adventure and its follow-up Dara & Ed’s Road To Mandalay, and managed not to disgrace himself on Top Gear or whilst tackling one of The World’s Most Dangerous Roads. As a semi-professional hill-walker himself and fully paid-up humanist, he also brought a refreshing warmth and honesty to BBC2’s recent hit The Pilgrimage.

But the Irishman is still best-known and best appreciated for his stand-up performances.

A quarter of a century at the comedic coalface has equipped Ed with a highly evolved story-telling ability and a silky mastery of his craft. Yet his wit, charm and self-deprecatory observational humour is often underpinned by a consistently hilarious vitriol and sense of injustice at a world that seems to be spinning ever more rapidly out of control.

Having recently hit a new peak with shows such as the sublime Spoiler Alert and reflective Outside, Looking In, which explored the minefield that is modern parenting and a generational sense of entitlement, Ed’s new show If I’m Honest digs ever deeper into a father’s sense of responsibility, what it means to be a man in 2019, and whether he possesses any qualities whatsoever worth passing on to his two sons. Occasionally accused of whimsy, If I’m Honest is a show with a seriously steely core.

Gender politics, for example, is something Ed readily engages with – deploying his customary comedic zeal. ‘I’ll admit that there are things where men get a raw deal,’ he says. ‘We have higher suicide rates, and we tend not to do

well in divorces, but representation in action movies is not something we have an issue with.

It was Mad Max: Fury Road that kicked it all off, even though nobody complained about Ripley in Alien or Sarah Connor in Terminator 2. Of course, social media means this stuff gets broadcast far and wide in an instant, which emboldens people.

‘The problem with men’s rights activists is that it’s not about speaking up for men’s rights, it’s about hating women. If you’re a men’s rights activist, you’re not going to care about the fact that there’s an all-female Ghostbusters remake.

That’s nothing to do with men’s rights or female entitlement. That’s everything to do with being, well, a whiny baby.’

As ever, Ed manages to provoke without being overly polemical, a balancing act that only someone of his huge experience can really pull off.

‘I did stuff about Trump and the Pizzagate right wing conspiracy,’ he says, ‘and a couple of the reviewers said, “Oh, I would have liked to have watched a whole show of this”. And I think, ‘well you might have, but the average person who comes to see me would not like to see that’.

I like to make a point or get something off my chest, or perhaps I’m talking about something that’s been on my mind, but the majority of stuff is just to get laughs.

‘People who come to see me are not political activists necessarily, they’re regular folk. If you can make a point to them, in between talking about your struggles with aging, or discussing your hernia operation or whatever it is, you can toss in something that does give people pause as regards to how men should share the household chores.’

He continues, ‘It’s not that I feel a responsibility, I think it just feels more satisfying when you’re doing it, and it feels more satisfying when people hear it. When a joke makes a good

19

point, I think people enjoy it. It’s the difference between having a steak and eating a chocolate bar.’

Ed, who broke through in the mid-1990s when the New Lad became a genuine cultural phenomenon, doesn’t want to submit to any unnecessary revisionism, but admits that if the times have changed, he has changed with them. He reflects a little ruefully on one of his most famous jokes. ‘There’s an attitude towards Alanis Morrisette in the opening of that routine that I’m no longer comfortable with, where I call her a moaning cow and a whiny bint… slagging off the lyrics of the song is fine, but there’s a tone in the preamble that I wouldn’t write today.’

The new show also takes his natural tendency towards self-deprecation to unexpected extremes. ‘I do genuinely annoy myself,’ Ed concedes. ‘But the thing of your children being a reflection of you, gives you an opportunity to build something out of the best of yourself only for you to then see flashes of the worst of yourself in them. It’s a wake-up call about your own behaviour.’

the frustration that arrives in middle age – and lives up to its title. ‘I’m bored looking for things, I’m bored of trying to find stuff, because I can never find it, and it is entirely my fault,’ Ed says.

‘Nobody’s hiding my stuff from me. Although my wife did actually move my passport on one occasion’.

He insists that, while the show might have mordant and occasionally morbid aspects, it’s also not without its quietly triumphant moments.

‘I thought I was being quite upbeat talking about the small victories,’ he says. ‘You know, finding positivity in being able to spot when a cramp was about to happen in your leg and dealing with it before it does. I was very happy with myself about that.’

Age, it seems, has not withered him. Especially now that he’s figured out how to head off ailments before they become a problem. ‘You see comics who are my age and older but are still retaining a level of “cool” and drawing a young crowd. I can’t deny that I’m quite envious of that. But there’s also something very satisfying about your audience growing old with you.’

When I challenge him over the degree of self-loathing he displays, he disagrees. ‘Selfaggrandising humour is a lot harder to pull off than self-deprecating humour,’ he insists. ‘A lot of people get really annoyed when Ricky Gervais is self-congratulatory. I always find it very funny when he accepts awards and does so in the most big-headed way possible. I think it’s a trickier type of humour to pull off, talking yourself up in that way.

‘So no, I don’t think I’m being massively hard on myself. The fact is when you’re the bloke who is standing on the stage with the microphone, commanding an audience’s attention, you’re in a very elevated position anyway.’

That said, If I’m Honest brilliantly elucidates

Yorkshire Games Festival Serving as a bastion for the UK’s ever-ambitious and successful games industry in the north of England, the National Science and Media Museum is excited to announce that the muchcelebrated Yorkshire Games Festival will return to Bradford for its fourth outing between 5-9 February 2020.

Once again, the five-day event will be pitched at developers, gamers, and families alike, offering a wide variety of events and activities to appeal across the spectrum. Leading the line from an industry perspective, however, will be the Games Talks sessions from professionals and experts running across two dedicated days, 6-7 February.

Heading up the line-up next year will be a mix of both developers and journalists, ensuring a heady blend of insight and inspiration for all attendees.

It includes famed indie developer Mike Bithell of Bithell Games, best known for Thomas Was Alone, Volume, and most recently John Wick Hex; Chloe Crookes of Team17 who serves as Senior QA Analyst; Sumo Digital level designer Zi Peters whose work at the company includes Hitman 2 and earlier in his career, Halo Wars 2; Patrick

24

O’Luanaigh, CEO of award-winning virtual reality developer nDreams; renowned journalist Alysia Judge, whose work has been published in the BBC, The Guardian, IGN, and The Independent; Lead Animator Emma Hollingsworth of UK-based publisher Coatsink; and celebrated UK studio Rare will talk about the making of its swashbuckling multiplayer pirate action game Sea of Thieves.

Further speakers will be announced in the future.

“We’ve made a point of providing a welcome environment for industry luminaries to come and lay open their views, their experiences, and their knowledge to what is always an engaged and committed crowd,” says Festival Director, Kathryn Penny.

“The next Yorkshire Games Festival is going to be no different, building on that strong relationship we’re developing with the industry and bringing those voices to the next generation - a generation of creatives who can’t typically head to events elsewhere around the country. It’s a unique meeting of minds, making the next festival the best yet.”

Adding to the mix of the event will be a demo

by Team17 of its forthcoming co-op party game Moving Out - coming to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in 2020 - serving as the title’s first UK hands-on demo outside of London.

Team17 will also be setting up a pop-up Usability Lab at the museum, where attendees of the festival can get real-world experience of what it’s like to test games and give feedback.

“It’s exactly publishers like Team17 and activities like the Usability Lab that help us to illustrate just how wide and diverse the games industry is to our attendees,” continues Penny. “It’s very easy for those just thinking about starting out in games to have their eyes fixed on the big glamorous jobs at the Triple-A studios and not realise the industry has a wealth of other jobs and professions to offer.”

As such, also making the line-up this year are the developers behind CBBC’s online multiplayer game Nightfall, who will be showcasing the game at a dedicated play station across the course of the Let’s Play Family Weekend - running between 8-9 February - allowing up to 30 children to take

it on at once. There will also be a gallery detailing the development of the game, alongside the chance to talk to those involved. It’s one of many opportunities for those starting out in the industry to see the other avenues to operating a successful business: it doesn’t all have to be Triple-A killerapps for consoles.

Indeed, attendees will be able to get further insight into possible pathways in the world of games via “Meet the Developers” networking sessions, as well as dedicated career surgeries designed to shine a light on potential vocations, plus the return of the Young Developers Conference for 11-18 year olds, once again in partnership with BAFTA and the BAFTA Young Game Designers initiative.

Keep your eye out for more announcements in the weeks ahead. More details on the festival can found on the Yorkshire Games Festival website.

The full schedule Game Talks: 6-7 February Talks featuring Mike Bithell of Bithell Games, Zi Peters of Sumo Digital, nDreams’ Patrick O’Luanaigh, journalist Alysia Judge, Chloe Crookes of Team17, Emma Hollingsworth of Coatsink, and celebrated Sea of Thieves studio Rare.

Young Developers Conference: 5-9 February In partnership with BAFTA, the Young Developers Conference is a free and accessible event for young game developers. The conference will help provide opportunities to learn valuable skills and gain knowledge through talks, workshops and masterclasses led by industry professionals.

Let’s Play Family Weekend: 8-9 February A weekend focus on families, young game developers, gaming enthusiasts and everyone in between, promoting intergenerational gameplay and learning. It features the BBC’s Nightfall, a Rocket League tournament in partnership with the British Esports Association, an exhibition of development projects from XR Stories looking at immersive and interactive technologies for storytelling, and a panel discussion about responsibility in video games chaired by Alysia Judge.

Council encourages support for Small Business Saturday

Bradford Council is backing a national campaign encouraging people to support local small businesses. Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots campaign celebrating small business success and encouraging people to ‘shop local’.

In its seventh year, Small Business Saturday is the UK's most successful small business campaign with #SmallBizSatUK reaching millions of people globally. The day takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, however the impacts last all year round.

On 7 December, customers across the UK will get out and support all types of small businesses.

Many small businesses will take an active role in promoting the day by hosting events and offering discounts.

The Council has a strong track record of supporting small businesses. The authority offers a range of business support grants through their investment and jobs-boosting, City Centre and 26

District Growth schemes.

Since launching in 2012 the schemes have supported 240 businesses, brought 100 empty commercial spaces including retail and office back into use and generated over 660 jobs.

Fifty-two new start-ups have been created under the growth schemes.

In 2018, following the success of the city centre scheme, a District-wide scheme was launched.

The District Growth Scheme provides businesses with financial incentives to invest, expand, create new jobs and bring empty and heritage buildings back into use.

New Investment Relief offers up to three years rate relief for major new developments/ expansions which create over 20 full time equivalent new jobs.

Listed Building Relief assists businesses to develop heritage premises. Firms that refurbish listed properties which have been vacant for

Left: Sunbridge Wells Top to bottom: Figaro hair salon, The Record Cafe, Mamma Mia,

over 12 months can receive sliding scale rate relief from 100% in the first year to 25% in year three.

And the Council’s City Centre Rate Rebate and Town Centre Rate Relief programme encourages businesses to move into Bradford city centre and Shipley, Ilkley, Keighley and Bingley town centres.

Firms that move into previously vacant properties or expand into unoccupied space, can receive 12 months of rate relief. The relocation must create new jobs within the Bradford district and eligible businesses will be entitled to £16,000 per annum of rate relief for every new permanent full time job created up to a maximum of the business’ annual rates bill.

Bradford Council has also supported the three Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) operating in the city centre, Ilkley and Keighley and provide year-round support and initiatives for small businesses.

Entrepreneurs can take a stall in one of the markets Bradford Council run in Shipley, Keighley, Bingley, Ilkley and Bradford. The Council’s Markets Service offers half-price rent for the first six months.

The initiatives are part of a broader range of growth-stimulating measures set out in the Council’s Bradford District Economic Growth strategy. Steve Hartley, Strategic Director for Bradford Council, said: “Bradford is home to many fantastic entrepreneurs and was named the best place in the country to start a business by Barclays.

“We support small businesses all year round and Small Business Saturday is a chance for us all to do our bit in supporting them by shopping local.”

People who wish to take part in Small Business Saturday should contact Invest in Bradford by calling 01274 437727.

Robert Paul

Film Pioneer This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of technological pioneer Robert Paul, known for building the first commercially successful film equipment in Britain in the 1890s, which led to the start of a new national industry.

Paul’s story has remained largely hidden in popular history despite his large contribution to the early film industry, however a new exhibition at the National Science and Media Museum The Forgotten Showman: How Robert Paul Invented British Cinema (22 November 2019 – 29 March 2020, free entry) aims to bring it to light.

After establishing his instrument making company in 1891 Paul became interested in picture devices and was commissioned to make replica Kinetoscopes, the first machines to show moving pictures, originally made by Thomas Edison. He also took inspiration from the novel The Time Machine by H.G Wells and explored the possibility of creating an immersive film experience for audiences, a forerunner to today’s 4D cinema.

In 1896 Paul launched his most successful venture, pioneering a new way of projecting moving images. His ground-breaking equipment would eventually be sold internationally, leading to a number of dazzling ‘firsts’ in filmmaking and cinema going.

Paul was the first to sell apparatus, films and projection equipment to the wider market, including to French director Georges Méliès, as well as launching Britain’s first film studio, where he produced the country’s largest number of films annually until the end of the 1890s. He made Britain’s first fiction film The Soldier’s Courtship (1896), frames from which are held in the collections of the National Science and Media Museum and a reconstruction will be screened 28

as part of the exhibition. He also created the first two-shot film in which the camera cut between scenes in Come Along Do! (1898), and the earliest on-screen titling and intertitles, which can be seen in Scrooge, or Marley’s Ghost (1901).

During his time in the industry he continued to experiment with new techniques, subjects and formats, including distributing films of foreign locations, hand colouring films and capturing panning shots. Throughout his film career Paul produced more than 800 titles, quitting the business in 1910 and destroying the negatives of many of his films, for which his motive remains a mystery. He would return to his original career as a pioneer of scientific instrument making and industrialist.

The Forgotten Showman also looks at the work of his contemporaries in the film industry, such as the Lumière Brothers.

Visitors can see original objects showcasing innovations in cinema, including Paul’s Theatrograph projector, the 35mm camera made and used by Paul to film the Diamond Jubilee Procession of Queen Victoria in 1897, and original frames from one of his earliest works Incident at Clovelly Cottage made with Birt Acres in February 1895.

The exhibition has been co-curated with Professor Ian Christie, a renowned film historian and Professor of Film and Media History at Birkbeck University of London. Professor Christie has worked with artist ILYA to produce a graphic novel telling Paul’s story. His reference book on the subject is also due to be published later this year, titled Robert Paul and the Origins of British Cinema.

George Layton

By James Collingwood

The Bradford born actor and writer George Layton has had a long and distinguished career since the early sixties. An actor in Doctor in the House, It ain’t half hot mum, the Likely Lads and Patrick Troughton era Doctor Who (as well as more recently EastEnders, Holby City and Casualty) George was also a comedy writer on the Doctor in the House TV series and its sequels. George also wrote the sitcoms Don’t Wait Up, Executive Stress and Robin’s Nest among many others. His book The Fib and Other Stories originally written for adults has been a fixture of the school curriculum for many years and since then he has written the Swap and Other Stories and the Trick and Other Stories. I talked to George about his career.

George grew up in Bertram Road, Manningham and attended Belle Vue Grammar school before leaving at the age of 18 for London and RADA. “As you probably know my parents were Viennese refugees so when people talk about Brexit stopping immigration it’s a bit sensitive to me frankly. I was very lucky to grow up in Bradford. I used all the energy I had when I was at Belle Vue Grammar school- which I just wanted to leave- all the excess energy doing amateur dramatics and sometimes professional drama up at the Rep company at the Alhambra and also the Princes Theatre. I also did radio in Leeds and Manchester.”

I imagined George’s career as a sort of alternative sequel to the film Billy Liar. As if Billy Fisher actually did get on that train at the end of the film and went to London to be a success!

30

“I wanted to be an actor from the age of seven.

It calmed me down and I found something I wanted to do very early on in life. I acted in Saturday morning drama classes and at the Bradford Civic Playhouse for example. My dad quite rightly made me stay on at school until I was 18. Whilst doing my A Levels I took a oneway ticket to London for the RADA audition. I was confident but I was always looking for signs of good luck and bad luck. Whilst hitchhiking back a car stopped and it was our next-door neighbour in a Ford Anglia. That was a sign for me that I was going to get in at RADA!”.

George won awards at RADA, some of the money which he put towards buying a telephone to help with getting work. I asked was it difficult to get work in the early 60s.

“It was in television. It’s a chicken and egg thing. You haven’t had experience so they can’t risk casting you. I was very lucky to get in on a twice weekly soap opera. “(The Midlands based Swizzlewick an early target for the dreaded Mary Whitehouse).

George had gained experience in theatre in rep at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry for example.

He also appeared in Arnold Wesker’s Chips with Everything on Broadway.

George auditioned for the Terry Collier part eventually played by James Bolam in the Likely Lads.

“Clement and Le Frenais said to me - look you’re too inexperienced. We can’t risk it, but we won’t forget you. We’ll write you a part. I didn’t think I’d hear from them again, but they wrote a very good part. Mario the hairdresser who it turns out

was really Ernie from Hull!”

George’s next big break came with the Doctor in the House series when he was cast as Doctor Paul Collier. George would eventually write scripts for the series sometimes collaborating with the future Yes Minister writer Jonathan Lynn and sometimes under the pseudonym Oliver Fry when he was also acting in it.

George originated and/or wrote for several comedies in the 70s and 80s including Don’t Wait Up, Robins Nest, Executive Stress and My Brother’s Keeper. He also acted in It ain’t half hot mum as Bombardier Solly Solomons. Don’t Wait Up starring Nigel Havers ran for six series which George wrote 39 episodes in longhand!

“I wanted to talk about divorce. Apart from the fashions Don’t Wait Up would work today. I wish they’d repeat it.”

I asked George about his books which have meant a lot to people over the years. Stories such as the Balaclava Story, the Fib and the Gang Hut are still read in schools. He’d originally started writing them in his spare time at RADA. George recently read them to children in a visit to a Bradford school.

“They weren’t originally written for children. The

first ones were written for Woman’s Hour on the radio. Adult stories but they happened to be narrated by this young seven-year-old. For that reason the language is simple and then they got published for children.”

For George the later books The Swap and Other Stories, and the Trick and Other Stories are better written, and he could get away with dealing with more serious subjects in them.

George still loves Bradford and was fascinated by it recently being classed as one of the most improved cities culturally. George talked about City of Film and Saltaire. He mentioned the late Jonathan Silver and his family who he knew.

“I used to babysit Jonathan. His dad Mr Silver opened the first Wimpey bar in Bradford.”

I asked George about his plans for the future.

The weekend after I spoke to him, he was doing an event with actor Robin Askwith called A Couple of Cults. Any plans for acting and writing projects?

“I’ve slowed down because I’ve got grandchildren. You never know as they get older I might do a bit more telly. I’m thinking of doing my autobiography and have started writing it.”

I look forward to reading it George!

Bradford UNESCO City of Film 10th anniversary What a Year!

Thursday 22 November saw the official opening of the National Science and Media Museum’s new exhibition The Forgotten Showman, bringing to a close a fantastic year of events celebrating out 10th Anniversary.

The programme launched at the National Science and Media Museum in February and has gone on the feature over 30 events organised by Bradford UNESCO City of Film as well as supporting an additional 40 events organised within the local community.

Highlights have included Lights, Camera, Equality – an event held on International Women’s Day and broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds as part of their culture programme. This panel event brought together women at different stages of their careers and gave a real insight into the industry. As a legacy of this event there have been further discussions on setting up a Women if Film Network, supported by University of Bradford Lecturer Karen Thornton.

The programme has had a national and international reach and the International Film Education Symposium welcomed guests from Korea, Paris, London, Bristol and Glasgow. This

34

two day symposium provided great discussion about film education around the world and has led to further links between educators in Bradford and South Korea.

The Screen Talks series has given attendees behind the scenes insight in the film industry and has been a real eye opener for some.

These talks have featured location managers, producers, an actor/director, a screenwriter and an executive producer/film financier. Feedback from the event was hugely encouraging so watch out for more on Screen Talk next year!

As well as running these talks there have been a series of workshops throughout the year welcoming children and adults alike. These sessions provided the opportunity to learn more about film and helped participants to develop new skills and create their own films. Some of their stop motion pieces have even made it to the Big Screen in City Park.

Over the summer there were a number of Film Heritage walks, visiting some of the key locations around the city that have featured on the big and small screen in recent years. The walk that took place during Bradford Literature Festival

featured work from Bradford poets collective Yaffle. There was a special collection of poems put together about the film heritage of the city and these were delivered to attendees in the locations to which they related. These poems have gone on to be published in a book entitled Reel Bradford available from Yaffle Press.

There has been a conscious effort to reduce the environmental impact of these events and to help achieve this City of Film partnered with Bradford BID to offering refillable bottles to around 800 children throughout the Family Film Festival, reducing the amount of single use plastic at the event.

This anniversary year has also featured a number of film festivals, including the Bradford Family Film Festival which took place throughout August and more recently in October the Golden Years Festival. In September City of Film supported the city’s first smart phone festival, Get Smart, another event they’re hoping will be back again next year.

All in all a great year for City of Film and we look forward to seeing what the next 10 years will hold.

Mike Farris 12 January, Caroline Street Social Club Grammy Award winner, Mike Farris was one of the undoubted highlights of TLR’s trip to Nashville when he blew the audience away at his showcase in The Local. They’ve been chasing him down ever since, finally pinning down this amazing singer songwriter to make his TLR debut in January.

The Wedding Present 12 December, Salt Beer Factory The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles… not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry’s game.

42
