Telly Savalas and the Quota Quickies

April 28th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

I’m only putting this up because I was goaded to by ‘Birmingham: It’s Not Shit (mildly sarcastic since 2002)’. The best bit of this essentially indescribable doc is the laughter of a contemporary Brummie audience at the 1980 vision of their city presented in ‘Telly Savalas looks at Birmingham’. You can see parts of the film itself here and here. (MP3)

Presenter: Laurie Taylor
Producer: Howard Shannon
Production Company: Creation
