Series 10, episode 5

As November marks the TV premiere of Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore the films of these two titans of British cinema. Film and culture writer, Lilian Crawford shares with Mark why the works are a matter of life and death, and how the duo's technicolour films took their cue from the worlds of ballet and opera. Kevin Macdonald, the Academy Award-winning film-maker and grandson of Emeric Pressburger, shares with Ellen how some of the duo's films are nuanced examples of wartime propaganda, and why some still resonate and remain relevant today
