The BEST episodes directed by Mick Conefrey
#1 - Lionel Bart: Reviewing the Situation
BBC Documentaries - Season 2013 - Episode 212
Documentary telling the larger-than-life story of Lionel Bart, the composer of Oliver! - one of the greatest musicals of the last fifty years. Drawing on his unseen personal archive and interviews with Barbara Windsor, Roy Hudd, Cameron Mackintosh, Marty Wilde and Ray Davies, it paints a vivid, poignant picture of the rise and fall of one of Britain's favourite songwriters.
#2 - Reindeer Rock
BBC Documentaries - Season 1992 - Episode 6
Ever since 1955 when Dickie Valentine stormed the charts with A Christmas Alphabet, the season of goodwill has been a bonanza for the record industry. There is scarcely a pop singer who has not made a Christmas record; from Cliff Richard to Bruce Springsteen , from Paul McCartney to Giant Haystacks. This programme plunders the best, and the worst, from the Yuletide pop archive, and combines them with some classic comedy.
