Daniel Farson’s Guide to Britain: Volume 2 (DVD + Blu-ray)
Director: Various

Brash, bohemian and boozy, bon-vivant Daniel Farson became a larger-than-life fixture of Soho in the 1950s, socialising with the likes of artist Francis Bacon and photographer John Deakin. But he was also a ground-breaking investigative journalist, reshaping approaches to screen reportage with the many direct, dynamic independent television films he presented for Associated-Rediffusion in the late 1950s and early 1960s, finding widespread fame and acclaim.

This three disc dual format set, running to over three hours – the second of two releases showcasing his most innovative, important, eccentric, odd and outstanding work – reframes a carefully-curated chunk of Farson’s now little-seen output. His eclectic talent is reflected in an abundant array of hugely enjoyable, fascinating films on all manner of matters topical to a post-war Britain undergoing complex, seismic social change.

Join this vanguard intrepid investigator – paving the way for later programme-makers of the Louis Theroux school – as he twinkles a curious eye and lends a wry tongue to a glorious gamut of then-contemporary hot-potatoes.
