Video Description:

updated 2022

full 90 min epsiode was also on vimeo

 

Working with Gillies McKinnon, a very giving director, the style in which to shoot this came like an epiphany one night. I knew the script needed to be treated in a completely different way to previous G.Gs', Set against the 'Rivers of Blood' speech by Enoch Powell the script had a visceral tension. I thought of 1968 documentary photography - Time, Life magazine and put the camera on my shoulder for 90% of the time. THe camera took on the energy of the performancesif you do avoid uk tv detective shows like the plague then this may be a useful catch up

9 min type clip from Dominic Clemence

'Gently Northern Soul updated cut. An interesting stylistic contrast with Gently With Class. Gillies McKinnon and George Faber were terrific in embracing the idea of shooting the episode in an entirely different way. Shot 98% hand held, I used 1968, Time/Life as my reference point.'

I saw the original screening of this show. I'm 100% certain that the sound track featured NS originals....can't remember the tunes but I recall being pleasantly surprised by the tunes used, although there was a Four Tops track being danced to (in 1968) that wasn't actually discovered/issued until 2005!

However, when I watched the repeat showing a few months ago, the soundtrack had been changed, with "tailor-made" 60s soul/dance tunes.

I presume there was a copyright problem?

there was a topic about this before - complete with info and links to the library cuts - site search should take you to it

guess its a bit like the reruns of "married with children " which no longer have 'love and marriage' as the theme ?

imagine the royalties due would quickly mount up
