6 Films You Loved In '96

20210710

Movie critic James King celebrates the summer of '96 with a look at the making of six seminal films released that year.

For each film there's a look behind the curtain at how they were made, starting with the man who made that year's most memorable summer blockbuster Mission Impossible possible, stunt coordinator Greg Powell. Then there's BAFTA-winning filmmaker Mike Leigh and Oscar-nominated actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste discussing their acclaimed British drama Secrets & Lies. Voice actor John Morris tells James about voicing Andy in the hugely popular family animation Toy Story. Actress Myriam Francois discusses filming acclaimed period drama Sense & Sensibility alongside Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. Two-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins takes us behind the camera of cult Coen Brothers drama Fargo. And finally James takes a look at how a small British film called Trainspotting became an international cultural phenomenon, with the producer Andrew Macdonald.

The Beatles - Reborn In 96!

20210627

In a series of exclusive conversations, Geoff Lloyd looks back at the story of The Beatles Anthology , which saw the band sell more records in 1996 than at any point since they'd broken up.

25 years ago, The Beatles wrapped up their past and discovered a future.

In late 1995 & early 1996 the Anthology series - three double CDs and a multi-part TV documentary - came out, and as a result The Beatles sold more records in a single year that at any point since they broke up. To millions of younger fans they were - to all intents and purposes - a new band and a new generation of Beatle fans were born. Geoff Lloyd tells the story of the Anthology and talks to some of those new fans to discover why The Beatles became teen sensations all over again, 30 years after Beatlemania.

But that's not all - the success of the Anthology kick started a whole legacy business for the music industry and with the advent of file sharing & digital downloads came the musical era of the eternal present: when everything is available all the time and the only thing that matters is - is it any good? So how do you buy into that if you're a musician with a past - The Beatles have an obvious advantage, but what if you're The Doors say, famously marketed under the headline `Young. Hot. Dead.` ? Or Janis Joplin? Or The Beach Boys? Or Motown?

And if you're The Beatles, how do you service that huge audience you've suddenly gained?

Part of Radio 2's Summer of 96 season, the programme features exclusive interviews with Jools Holland, John Bradley from 'Game of Thrones', Jeff Jampol, the world's leading musical legacy manager, Beatle producer Giles Martin and more. The Beatles themselves appear from archive.
