Following five series of the highly acclaimed, double-Sony Award winning and Writers Guild Award winning Radio 4 comedy show Mark Steel's In Town, writer and stand-up comedian Mark Steel at last brings out a DVD, filmed this year on one of his hugely successful UK tours. Mark Steel has presented the BAFTA nominated Mark Steel Lectures for BBC Two, is a regular on BBC One's Have I Got News For You and Radio 4's News Quiz. He's written several acclaimed books, including: Reasons To Be Cheerful and What's Going On and he writes a weekly column for The Independent. Filmed in South London's Blackheath Halls in February 2014.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
