| BACKSTAIRS BILLY: THE QUEEN MUM'S BUTLER |
|
|
|
|

|
| This is the story of a 15 year old boy - William Tallon - who rose from lowly beginnings ? an ironmonger?s son from County Durham obsessed with working for the Queen, to be the man who after 50 years with the Royal family knew all of their hidden secrets, and knew only too well the power that knowledge represented.
As the Queen mother?s Butler and key palace insider he saw and heard everything, but never told.
His life is one of obsession, power, politics and hierarchy inside the royal circle. But since his death, Tallon?s legacy has also revealed another side, a man split by loyalty, overrun by his sexuality and feared by those who worked for him behind the palace?s closed doors.
With first hand testimony from those who knew, loved, worked for and came up against Bill Tallon, the film shows how he and his partner Reg were the ?power couple? whose position allowed them enormous influence and control over young servants and the household itself.
It examines the controversy of William?s relationship with Princess Margaret and how that ultimately probably cost him his career, and special place within the Royal heart. However after 50 years service to the Windsors and closeness to the Queen Mother, he ended up ostracised by the Royal family, alone, in a tiny flat in Kennington.

| From Academy Award® nominees Stephen Frears (The Queen, High Fidelity) and Peter Morgan (The Queen, The Last King of Scotland) comes another smart and ?engaging story of British politics behind the scenes? (Barry Garron,The Hollywood Reporter ). The Deal probes the rivalry between reallife Prime Ministers Tony Blair (Michael Sheen, The Queen) and Gordon Brown (David Morrissey), who, for the sake of a nation, struck an extraordinary deal. Scathing, witty and imaginatively filmed, The Deal is an intense and riveting film that captivates from beginning to end. |

| In 1973, the BBC commissioned six writers, six directors and an exceptional cast of actors to undertake the Wessex Tales of Dorset author Thomas Hardy.
These included writers such as Dennis Potter and William Trevor; directors like Mike Newell and actors like Billie Whitelaw, John Hurt, Claire Bloom and Ben Kingsley.
These tales ? of witchery, revenge, thwarted passion, costly ambition, buried desire, madness and betrayal ? find their participants entrapped repeatedly by fate ? always at liberty to make choices, but inevitably confronted by their destiny. |
