FEVER - remastered
Before making the highly acclaimed Trilogy, before even going to film school in 1969, Bill Douglas made 20 home movies and short films on Standard 8, which have never been seen by the public. To celebrate the anniversary of his birthday on 17 April and the 50th anniversary of the release of his first ever film, My Childhood, and to promote a brand new documentary from Hopscotch Films on the previously unseen 8mm films, Bill Douglas: Between Life & Art and a new book, Bill Douglas: A Film Artist, I've collaborated with the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum to remaster one of Bill's best 8mm shorts, Fever.

My favourite film
Thanks.
Tim Roth, Gary Oldman & Ray Winston are three of Britain's greatest actors from that time period and still are today.
Spot on 👍👍
"I've got 10 O levels 7 A Levels i speak fluent Punjabi and Japati" 😂
Fantastic!!
This song appropriately reminds me of my first partner.
Iconic film. Great actor, Tim. The world of 1982 was an extraordinary experience. I was about 12 to 13. But God. It was raw.
I’ve heard he’s a little rat in private life😉
Tim Roth is an artist
How did I miss this? Thank you!!
Hello! Any contact & email I can reach you? Will like talk to ask some questions about this 8mm films. Thanks
Hi Odesreis, You can drop me an email to find out more about the 8mm films of Bill Douglas. It's: andy.400blows@yahoo.co.uk Also, you can have a look at the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum (BDCM) website. I'm sure they've got some info on his 8mm films. It's: www.bdcmuseum.org.uk/ Finally, the BDCM have recently released a new book exploring Bill and his films/love of all things to do with film. It's called Bill Douglas A Film Artist and should be reasonably priced in paperback. There's a whole section in it I've written on Bill's 8mm films.
Wonderful
Thanks Brassneck. I loved filming Ballboy and am still a big fan.
Still looking forward to the rest! 😉
With all the programmes on the history of pride and LBGT issues , including AIDS, how I miss the voice of Derek, the unique, one-off Derek.
I totally agree, Charles. He's gone but definitely not forgotten.
Truly, the child is father of the man...
In Derek's case, it would most certainly seem like. Almost fully formed in his interests and tastes by the age of 5/6 - amazing!
Incredibly gifted actor and his performance in this was outstanding.
<3
👍
Fuckin love this band. I miss em dearly even though I just found them
Always make me think of Belle and Sebastian - for some reason.
Crush the critic is now a leftwing ideology
Tim Roth , the actor , is always interesting to watch . His depiction of Reginald Christie in Rillington Place was both a chilling and mesmerizing ; an outstanding performance from a great actor .
why is there text/music over this.
Hi Dajambo, it's to contextualise and interpret the film, as Bill left very little/next to no information about his reasons for making the short - other than it's based on the short story by Le Clezio.
@@400blowsAKN quite annoying. would love to see the film itself. after looking at your channel im assuming this is a bonus feature of sorts and the writing/music is not your personal addition
@@dajambo1 Actually dajambo it isn't a DVD extra. I thought the captions and music would help contextualise and interpret Bill's short. I'm interested to hear you would like to see it without both. I'll let this version run a bit longer then add I 'clean' version.
@@400blowsAKN Would very much appreciate that! Just looking to view the short as it was originally made
It isnt easy to watch that even now 40 years on.I was from a posh area up north but still had to attend school with similar kids who were placed in a local childrens home.
You're right, Brian, it is brutal stuff at times and real radical TV for the early 80s.
He was the best in Hulk though.
My sister played Hetty Loveless, I was technically on set a few times but still in my mums belly.
Hey Skreezilla, that's amazing! So you're Amber's sister. And, you were on set at the time, although not quite born. Wow! Does Amber ever talk about the film?
@@400blowsAKN Am her younger brother karl :) She use to tell me a few stories about her time on set, and how lovely everyone was. We also use to go back to Tyneham often as we lived in Swanage still and she would show spots where she filmed. We did a little extras work in Bournemouth as well but she decided she did not want to get into acting. Sadly we have lost contact ironically since i moved to Australia my self 15 years ago. Dad and i were talking last night about the film and i found this, so thought i would say hello. :) Really interesting little watch.
Hi Skreezila, I probably have a location still of your sister on the set of Comrades somewhere. I think there's one of her with a young boy - she tried to sell his character some wood shavings for a penny or two. What a coincidence that you actually moved to Australia. What took you there? Thanks for watching the sort doc - and taking time to get in touch. There are one or two other shorts on my site about Comrades if you're interested. Another coincidence: I'm researching and scripting a new doc about Bill Douglas and his unseen home movies - which he made before going to film school and then on to be an acclaimed film-maker.
A true masterpiece, and one of the very best British films.
He’s British. Of course he’s a superb actor.
Tattooed on my neck. Now.
I saw this when it aired originally. He made me hate, fear and be fascinated by this character. Like being trapped in a room with a Tiger, he gets all of your attention. Decades later I still cannot ignore Tim Roth. Magnificent!
Hassan SOUNDS ALOT LIKE Melvin Bragg , the Trilogy and Ken Loach's Kes are among the best of British films ,gritty realism.
Totally agree, Jock - about Res and The Trilogy that is.
The most despised youth cult of the time and Roth played the skinhead brilliantly. Also for all he's got no prospects, he's quite articulate and funny,
Tim Roth makes a totally obnoxious character compelling - and articulate and funny as you say. sad, as well - when he's looking almost longingly in the shop window at a family of mannequins near the end.
As nasty as his character was I couldn't stop laughing at the dialogue.
Spot on, Retro.
He's also a total nob end
Many many thanks for all your work on Bill Douglas ! It adds a great deal to our understanding of the artist. Good luck with the project on his 8mm films. And thanks also for your films on Derek Jarman. And ballboy too, of whom I'm a great fan ! Andrew
Andrew, many thanks to you for your words of kind support. It's so pleasing to know that my work on film-makers - who I love - is out there being viewed. I'll hopefully have something to report on the project on the 8mm films of Bill Douglas pretty soon. I really do hope Bill's short films get to out there for the public to view.
Wonderful, wonderful interview - how brilliant Hassan is. Thank you for this
Thanks, Luka.
neat
wheres number one please .. ?
''It's not the bullet that causes the pain, it's the hole that it leaves when it comes out again''.
What is Tim Roth doing nowadays would really like to know?anybody ¿?¿
Tim Roth great British talent .respect
I was a Tim fan from the night this aired (everyone was talking about it in school the next day), and from then on I made sure I caught everything he was in. Cut to 1987, and I'm on Big Audio Dynamite's guest list for their gig at the Sheffield Leadmill... turned out Mr Roth was on tour with them for a few days, comparing the supports, and by now I'd seen everything he'd done, many times.... anyway, we ended up getting blotto and him saving me from getting my head kicked in by Paul Cook and Matthew Ashman! Gave me his home phone number and told me to give him a bell... then his manager Jazz Summers ended up helping my band to get some gigs in London.... nice bloke is Mr Roth, and we should have a big celebration of the man's talent next year.
Hi Tel, what a great anecdote. Thanks for posting.
@@400blowsAKN The pleasure's all mine... being a fan of the man is kind-of a prerequisite for being in a band with me e.g. 1992, we all went to see Reservoir Dogs four times the week it came out. We knew right then he was on his way to stardom proper.
Jobcentre wankers! Love it when he puts the brick through the window haha
The funniest line that Trevor (Tim Roth) ever said in that film to me is “That’s why you can stick your hairy contract up your hairy arse!”
The best under rated performance since Lee emery and Washington, boys of company C.
thanks for that!

What’s the song in the beginning?
I pissed on my files at the centre ....... Errol shit on his.
Great film. Trevor wasn't skinhead. He was just a little toe rag who needed a good slap.
Saw this when I was 15 when it was first on TV. It had a profound effect on me, mainly because of the dialogue and Roth's amazing performance.

@@lennywebb6740 For example!
@@theendofmytether oi, I want my lunch...........OI! I WANT MY LUNCH!
Glad to hear it. I was 15 when I saw it on PBS and was utterly agog. I tried hunting it down for years and finally saw half of it in the archives of The Museum of Television and Radio. I was amazed the actor turned out to be Tim Roth, who'd I'd seen in so much else since and never made the connection. Part of my young self had thought Trevor was real and this was a documentary.
His poor man's epic. I love that sentiment.
Tim Roth is a superb actor and director. I still do not understand why he never attained an Oscar, because he is one hell of an actor. In Made In Britain he gave the most superlative and awesome performance. Alan Clarke's rendition of this work was unprecedented. I cannot praise Tim Roth more highly. He just has it, that special talent and quality. Even Tarantino saw it, and used it. I would like to see much more of that from Tim Roth in dramas and films of superlative quality and strength as Made In Britain. If you read this Tim, thank you for all you have given us. We, the ordinary people, are appreciative. You really are special to us.
Say less 👏
