Hi All,
I now have the complete British "Hollywood UK" (1993) mini-series,
five episodes on three DVD's. Quality is superb. This is the
original 1993 broadcast, not the 2005 re-broadcast that saw 12
minutes cut from each episode.
Rita appears in the first two episodes, in connection with "A Taste
Of Honey" and "The Knack".
"Hollywood UK - British Cinema In The Sixties"
(1993 Sep 05) episode "Northern Lights" --
"The first in a series of five episodes telling the story of the
British film-making boom of the Sixties. At the start of the decade,
working-class heroes began to emerge in gritty dramas set in the
North of England. John Schlesinger, Richard Harris and Tom Courtenay
revisit the locations of their early films, and Rita Tushingham and
Julie Christie talk about the new kind of girl who came on the scene."
"Hollywood UK - British Cinema In The Sixties"
(1993 Sep 12) episode "Making It In London" --
"The second in a series of five episodes telling the story of the
British film-making boom of the Sixties. British cinema turned its
attention away from the class struggle in the North of England and
focused on the glamour of London."
The remaining three episodes in the series are --
(1993 Sep 19) "A Very British Picture"
(1993 Sep 26) "Strangers In The City"
(1993 Oct 03) "The Last Wave"
If you are interested in getting a copy of this mini-series, please
send me an email at rjd0309@...
On a different subject, if you happen to have access to the Fox Movie
Channel (USA), you will be able to view a very rare set of telecasts
of Rita's movie "The Guru" (1969), in November and December --

My cable provider does not provide this channel, so I've made
arrangements to have someone record this movie for me, in the highest
possible resolution. I'll be happy to make copies for whomever is
interested.
Kind regards,
