Review

Calum Baker

If Martin Scorsese’s enthusiastic presentation of documentary Made in England (see p49) wasn’t enough, the director has recorded an exclusive bonus for the BBC to further air his love of Powell and Pressburger. This precedes a double bill of I Know Where I’m Going! (8.20pm) and The Life
and Death of Colonel Blimp (10.25pm, see p38), between which is a repeat of a 2014 documentary that celebrates the former (9.50pm).
