Paul Rose is a British television presenter who mainly works for the BBC. He is an accomplished diver, mountain climber and explorer whose skills and interests led to his role as a BBC documentary presenter. Rose made frequent expeditions to Antartica, supporting scientists engaged in research, and for eight 6-month seasons was base commander of Rothera Research Station. In 2006, Paul Rose presented the 5-part BBC documentary entitled the Voyages of Discovery. In 2017, Paul Rose presented a 2-part BBC documentary on the Yorkshire Wolds Way, a walk of around 80 miles from the Humber to Filey on the coast. During the programme, Rose explored the wildlife and geographical features of the landscape he encountered. In the second part of the documentary, Rose took a dramatic glider flight from the Wolds Gliding Club, Pocklington, over part of the Wolds Way. In 2018 he presented a four-part BBC One series The Lakes with Paul Rose about the English Lake District.
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.
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.
