Alan Clarke
Described as 'the best of us' by Stephen Frears, Alan Clarke was the most radical and uncompromising of the generation of directors who forged their careers on British TV.
In 2016 Clarke is championed by the BFI with a season at BFI Southbank cinema, a DVD/Blu-ray box set and this collection on BFI Player. To complement the box set, which focuses on Clarke's BBC films, BFI Player presents the director's few forays into feature-films and his work for ITV and Associated-Rediffusion.
