For 20 years a small group of film-makers on the South Coast led the world in the production of moving pictures. By 1912, when Hollywood was just beginning, film companies in Brighton had already produced hundreds of comedies, dramas and documentaries.
In the first of a five-part series, film historian John Huntley looks at the surviving films and tells the fascinating stories of the local pioneers who founded a colossal industry.
Tonight: George Albert Smith of Hove, whose little films were hailed as masterpieces.

A series of six programmes
An exploration in the East Midlands with W. G. Hoskins.
2: The Fox and The Covert
No matter what you think of fox hunting, it is a survivor in a colourless age of a little bit of Old England, and it has left its mark on the landscape. But how did it begin and where did it begin? PROFESSOR WILLIAM HOSKINS is able to show us in the East Midlands, and he takes us to places that stir the hearts of hunting people everywhere. The Whissendine brook, Ashby Pastures , Thorpe Trussels , the Vale of Belvoir, Botany Bay, a whole galaxy of places that show how the hunting people adapted the English landscape and used it in all sorts of ways for their own ends.

This week Arena reassesses the major achievement of an established dramatist, and looks forward to the work of an exciting new one. John Byrne is a Scottish writer with a highly-original comic talent. Arena visits him in Scotland and enters the world of The Slab Boys -his latest play set in a carpet factory in Glasgow and based on his own experiences.
Arnold Wesker 's celebrated Roots trilogy is being revived at the Shaw Theatre, London. It provides a unique chance to reassess a work many regard as an undoubted modern classic. WESKER talks about the trilogy and about his life and work in the 20 years since its first performance.
