The Blockbusters
'... they can design them, they can build them, they can pay for them, but nobody will ever know what a tower block is like until they've actually lived in one....'
Housing authorities can no longer paper over the cracks of the 60s social disaster, system-built tower blocks that are literally splitting at the seams. Setting an alarming precedent, east
London's Newham Council has ordered the total evacuation of tenants from a nine-block estate. It's a victory for reason - but only after concerted pressure from 'The Blockbusters' -the Newham Tower Block
Tenants' Campaign. This is the story of their constant fight against the misery and terror of tower block life - and the lessons they learn in the process. Film cameraman
PHILIP BONHAM CARTER
Film editor STEPHEN SAUNDERS Director MARY ROUTH
Producer JEREMY GIBSON
Made by Newham Tower Block Tenants' Campaign with the Community Programme Unit.

... of documentary. A series of films portraying issues, institutions and individuals. Love in Exile
When King Edward vm abdicated in 1936 to marry the woman he loved - twice divorced Wallis Simpson -he lost more than his throne. He lost his country and his family. For the Palace could not accept Mrs Simpson , and the couple were compelled to spend the rest of their lives in self-imposed exile as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. This documentary film, written and narrated by Michael Dean , is an account of the sad, lonely years when the man born to be king needed constant entertainment as a distraction from the humiliation of his reduced estate. The most famous love story of the century ended in unhappy anticlimax. Film editor PETER HARRIS
