Nigel Kneale was born on 28th April 1922 and this year marks one hundred years since his birth. To celebrate this landmark a day long event is being staged at the Picturehouse in Crouch End, London on Saturday 23rd April.
The event will feature expert panelists and members of the cast and crew of various Kneale productions looking at his film and TV work and his influence and legacy. A packed day of events includes a live reading of his now missing from the archives 1952 radio play You Must Listen and screenings of several of Kneale's classic works. These include an episode of The Quatermass Experiment (1953) TV series, The Stone Tape (1972) introduced by star Jane Asher, Against the Crowd: Murrain (1975) introduced by David Simeon, Late Night Story: The Photograph (1978) and a rare showing of Hammer's Quatermass and the Pit (1967).
I will be there, as one of the guests on the panel From Taskerland to Ring Stone Round: Nigel Kneale in the 70s, and I feel very excited to appear alongside William Fowler and Una McCormack to discuss Kneale's output for the decade. Other panels will look at Kneale's time at the BBC, Kneale's film work and his legacy and influences on modern TV. It promises to be an exceptional day!
