Biography from TheMovieDB

George Jeffrie was a writer and actor, known for The Windsors (2016), Pete Versus Life (2010) and The Armstrong and Miller Show (2007). Together with his long-time writing partner, Bert Tyler-Moore, George wrote three successful long-running comedy series for Channel 4. The first, Star Stories, won a British Comedy Award in 2006 and was twice BAFTA nominated; this was followed by cult hit Pete Versus Life starring Rafe Spall; finally by The Windsors starring Harry Enfield, the third series of which aired earlier in 2020 and which was also BAFTA nominated.  The pair also contributed to countless well-known sketch and entertainment shows over two decades, from Armstrong & Miller to Smack The Pony, Big Train to The Kumars at No. 42, from Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul to Spitting Image, which returned in September 2020.  Before he became a writer, George was a stand-up comedian, and part of the popular double act Chris & George. They were a much-loved club act, and on a couple of occasions appeared at the Reading Festival.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
