The Kneale Tapes

Wyrd Britain reviews the Nigel Kneale Timeshift documentary 'The Kneale Tapes'.
First shown on October 15th 2003 this episode of Timeshift explores (some of) the work of legendary screenwriter Nigel Kneale.

There're some serious omissions - 'Beasts', 'Murrain' - that need to be discussed in a future more comprehensive exploration of his work but with contributions from fans like Mark Gatiss, Jeremy Dyson, Kim Newman along with some great archive footage of Kneale and his wife, the writer and illustrator, Judith Kerr, it's an easy and affectionate tribute to one of the people who defined what we think of as Wyrd Britain.
