Partly for research, partly as a political statement, Hudson refused to stay in the location film crew’s hotel, instead finding lodgings with a local miner’s family. His favourite work was with Ken Loach, in particular on the 1969 film Kes. One of the photographs he took then appeared on the front page of the Independent.
Adopted from a children’s home aged two, Hudson attended the City of London School, and then the London School of Hotel Management. It was while he was doing National Service in Cyprus that a sergeant shoved a camera in his hands, and said: “Here, gunner, take this and record the riots.”Graduating in photography from Guildford School of Art and then the London School of Film Technique, he found his first job with Donald Alexander’s film team making documentaries for the Coal Board. As a freelance his films ranged from the scientific record for an anthropological expedition to south-west Africa to a beautiful film for the Arts Council, The Romanian Brancusi, and, more commercially, Get Carter. He happened to be in Bucharest in 1989 when he was swept up in the miners’ march on Ceausescu’s palace and recorded its sacking. A keen gardener, and avid amateur historian, his life was marred by tragedy when his son Christopher was killed in the appalling King’s Cross station fire, almost 10 years to the day before Roome’s own death.A granddaughter, Olivia, continues the family tradition and works in the film industry..

Sean Hudson, photographer: born Leamington Spa, Warwickshire 12 February 1935; died Edinburgh 3 December 1997

“I hide behind my lens,” said Sean Hudson. This run was broken only by the film version of the television series Bless This House, also starring Carry On’s Sidney James, a far cry from the prestige Rank features of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.In 1972, while working on a Carry On, Roome bumped into Alfred Hitchcock, then engaged on Frenzy, in the corridors at Pinewood. He spent his life as a photographer seeking to square his deeply held beliefs in fairness and social justice with the need to make a living in the commercial world. Hitch greeted Alfie with one of his noted barbs of laconic sadism: “You’re getting fatter, Roome,” was all he said.After Carry On Behind in 1975 Roome retired, feeling he was no longer well enough to do justice to film, and in 1988 recorded his reminiscences for the Bectu Oral History Project. It was followed by 13 successive Carry Ons including some of the best (Up the Khyber, 1968; Doctor, 1967; At Your Convenience 1971) and several of the worst (Girls, 1973; Dick, 1974; Behind, 1975). However, he did buy his house from Sir John Mills, and a frequent visitor to his huge estate in Fulmer was his long-time friend from the Gainsborough days Phyllis Calvert.When in 1967 the Peter Rogers-produced “Carry On” series moved to Pinewood with the Foreign Legion romp Follow That Camel, Roome was the logical choice to edit it, a man well known for his flair with British comedy, a genuinely funny man himself, full of humorous anecdotes. It was said of Roome that he was so neat that his cutting room looked as if hardly any work had been done by the end of the day.

Eventually he never worked overtime, nor had any need to, a far cry from his early days at Islington and Shepherd’s Bush when he worked all hours, and was grateful for the emergence of the film unions that called a halt to such exploitation.He made few close professional friends, preferring not to socialise but to return home at the end of his working day, and although he lived close to Pinewood, he never went home for lunch, preferring not to disrupt his routine. “It went from his cut to neg cut,” says Sharpe, “with no changes.” Roome used to file his own trims with enormous exactitude, taking pains to ensure they all hung correctly to exactly the same sprocket hole on the trim bin. It seldom changed much.His former assistant Don Sharpe remembers that for the last part of the portmanteau film Trio (1951), called “Sanatorium”, Roome’s cut stood as assembled. Today, the admirable Betty Box/ Ralph Thomas pictures are unfairly neglected while the success of the Peter Rogers/Gerald Thomas “Carry On” series has passed into legend.Alfred Roome’s tenure at Pinewood embraced many of the best of the Betty Box/Ralph Thomas output (and the worst – three late “Doctor” comedies) including the painfully moving Conspiracy of Hearts (1960) and the courageous and politically outspoken No Love For Johnnie (1961), Roome’s only feature in CinemaScope, plus any number of features invariably starring Dirk Bogarde, Kenneth More or Michael Craig.Ken Annakin was another director Roome regularly worked with, and Annakin’s best films, the very funny Hotel Sahara (1951) and the Graham Greene adaptation Across the Bridge (1957) owe much to him.Today as the craft of editing is eroded by electronic machines offering an infinite variety of edits, it is worth recalling Alfie Roome’s classic method of working: he used to view all the material needed for a sequence before starting editing, including both selected and non- selected takes, and then edited the sequence as he saw fit.

As producer, Box began a 20-year collaboration with the director Ralph Thomas, while her husband Peter Rogers began an equally fruitful partnership with Thomas’s brother Gerald. Roome also directed, in tandem with Roy Rich, a pair of Gainsborough features: the Jack Warner vehicle My Brother’s Keeper and It’s Not Cricket (both 1948), reuniting the duo of cricket lovers from The Lady Vanishes, Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne.Although Roome did not direct again – “I had trouble dealing with actors” he said – his contribution to cinema was undoubtedly greater than that of the majority of the directors for whom he edited, and after a period as Associate Producer on such box-office disasters as Christopher Columbus and The Bad Lord Byron (both 1949), he returned to the cutting rooms, working almost solely for the unacknowledged dynastic royal family of Pinewood: at Gainsborough he worked for the studio head Sydney Box, brother of Betty E Box. His former assistant Frances Edge recalls that when an enemy bomb exploded shaking the Shepherd’s Bush studios, Roome simply ignored it.The Borstal saga Boys in Brown (1940) was the first Gainsborough film to be based at Pinewood; Montgomery Tully directed it but Roome was associate director. A more distinguished feature was Dr Syn starring George Arliss (1937).With the outbreak of the Second World War, Roome found himself editing propaganda shorts for the Ministry of Information, and thus became exempt from military service, his work being rightly deemed of national importance. Among the more significant shorts he edited were the seven-minute Mr Proudfoot Shows a Light (1941) starring the music hall’s Sidney Howard, and the five-minute Rush Hour (1941) directed by Anthony Asquith, plus the unfairly neglected Dunkirk eight-minute short Channel Incident (1940) containing Peggy Ashcroft’s finest screen moment, also directed by Asquith.Roome also functioned as an Air Raid Warden, and continued to edit major features including the propagandist Launder and Gilliatt Millions Like Us (1943) and their immensely popular Waterloo Road (1944), in which the climactic punch-up was a triumph of film editing, convincing audiences world-wide that five-foot-nothing puny hero John Mills could beat up six- foot-plus muscular spiv Stewart Granger.

It’s not a gentle poke at tabloids, it’s a bloody sledgehammer.”"Rather na?ly we thought that the tabloids would get the joke and not take it personally,” McGuckian says, her Ulster accent still prevalent despite years spent living in France with her husband, the actor John Lynch.She was surprised by the suggestion that actors hate journalists because journalists hate actors “I’ve heard that,” she says. When the film was screened in Cannes, Piers Morgan was left warding off hundreds of calls for comment.But McGuckian had not anticipated the hostility it would provoke. She got her first inkling as soon as she gave a private viewing to some journalist and public relations friends.A close confidante, who works in PR, told her that for the first hour and a half he thought he was watching the best British comedy he had seen in years But after that, he told her, “I started to feel sick At one point I thought I was going to vomit. with a cretinous plot” and and Anthony Quinn in The Independent says: “This might be the worst film ever made about journalism.”

When Mary McGuckian created Rag Tale, a black comedy marking the first in an amorality trilogy, she thought she was having a “gentle poke” at the world of tabloid newspapers.
She expected a degree of speculation about the identities of the characters, with critics pointing out – as they have – that the proprietor Richard Mason shares his initials with an omnipresent media mogul, that mocked-up photos precipitating the downfall of an editor is reminiscent of certain events at the Daily Mirror.

Piers Morgan dismissed it as “clich? one-sided and irritating”, the Hollywood Reporter condemned it as “screamingly unpleasant… He has filmed a cut-down Ten O’Clock News to introduce himself, and wanted to turn up in his usual dark suit and tie, but has been persuaded to dress a little less formally.He says that visiting schools, doing writing workshops, and giving talks on media and communications have developed into his “biggest sideline”, and that it isn’t unusual to find a class of 40 pupils in which every single one has aspirations of working in the media “They think it’s well-paid and glamorous I say you’ve got to be quite realistic, and patient.”. I get hundreds of e-mails and letters every year from kids.”His Newsround cameo is motivated by the opportunity to share the reporting techniques he picked up over his long career as a political correspondent, but you have to think that he is savvy enough to realise that the programme’s audience will soon be graduating to later bulletins. He is keen to fulfil his role in the project despite having spent half of last week cooped up in hospital having a knee operation – the result of an accident while playing football with one of his five children.Edwards says: “There’s enormous interest out there in the way news is done.

“I had a gang of schoolkids in here the other day saying, “How long did you spend before you became a presenter on the news?” When I said “18 years”, I thought they were going to faint.”Edwards describes his guest presenting role on Newsround as being “quite an involved week” and he’s cleared the decks of everything else apart from “the Ten” to give it his full attention. The Welshman says that he has been surprised to find that even Newsround’s young audience take the view that reading the news is a role that can be easily mastered. The Today programme’s chief interrogator, John Humphrys, chipped in that the role required “no brain”.
Edwards, naturally enough, does not accept that his job is easy. He spent 15 years as a BBC journalist before becoming a presenter, and now he wants a new generation to know what’s involved in his job. So, every day this week he’ll be racing around with an eager teenager putting together packages for Newsround, CBBC’s youth news broadcast.

The choir stalls are Victorian (the Victorians, it seems, were rather taken with Green Men), and though most are simply leafy, one has a small and distinct face among the leaves, like something out of Alice in Wonderland.There’s something startling about a piece of ecclesiastical decoration suddenly coming to life: almost as though it is done for a joke, I think, raising my eyes to the top of a pillar and immediately seeing another, much older and more sombre gentleman with leaves streaming out of his mouth. We headed for the unbelievably pretty old market town of Axbridge on the A371 towards Wells in Somerset. St John the Baptist’s is a handsome 15th-century church, lovingly kept; and it doesn’t take us long to find our first foliate head. I was examining the detail on a fine 14th-century rood when I looked up And there he was, high above, watching. Leaves flowed from his mouth and nose, and leaves issued from the corners of his eyes.

He seemed extraordinarily alive: though he was wholly of stone, I could have sworn he winked

Once met, never forgotten I began to see him everywhere. It is a common phenomenon among Green Man enthusiasts, as the scholar Ruth Wylie confirms “Once you notice him, he’s all over the place,” she says. “Some foliate heads are very old: the oldest known instance is on a fourth-century tomb in Poitiers You find them across Europe, from Russia to France There are Green Men in India, in Mexico. And two are never the same.”
Like Mike Harding, featured in this afternoon’s Radio 4 introduction to the Green Man, she keeps a database of foliate heads that shows no sign of reaching completion.

“Once you get hooked, there’s no resisting him,” she chuckles. “No one can ever find them all: new ones crop up every day.”If you want to find him yourself, it is easy. It is 202ft tall, which is exactly the same distance from the baker’s shop in Pudding Lane where the fire started.Continue south down Fish Street Hill and you come to another wonderful church, St Magnus Martyr, of which TS Eliot wrote in The Wasteland: “… inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold”.But the most magical moment is yet to come.
