The Last DJ (2015) - Historical documentary.
Charts the last six months of the life of famous BBC radio DJ John Peel, best remembered today as the 'Voice of the Wartime Broadcasting Service' (WTBS). As the stress and strain of the aftermath of the nuclear attack took its toll on the other members of staff Peel literally became the 'Last DJ' until his death from a stress induced heart attack.
Filmed almost entirely on location in the Bredon Wing of the John Peel Memorial Broadcasting Centre. Was one of the first films to be shot on location in the UK since the war.
Everyone should have a Willie (2012) - Biopic of former Prime Minister William Whitelaw produced by the BBC.
Focused largely on his premiership in the immediate aftermath of the nuclear strike on Britain. Was famously unflinching in its depiction of the effects of his decisions on the survivors, but on the whole took a positive view of his leadership during the worst crisis ever to face a British PM.
The title, slightly controversial and responsible for the film almost being banned in several countries, came from something Whitelaw's predecessor, Margaret Thatcher, had said while in office. The title was also probably responsible for the film being a box office hit when it was released theatrically in 2015, many mistaking it for some sort of pornographic film.
The Empire Strikes Back (2031) - Documentary charting the rise, fall and rebirth of the British Empire. Highly controversial for its depiction of decolonisation as a mistake which cost millions their lives and for taking a very positive take on the recolonisation of the 2020s.
The film argues that massive corruption and poor governance in Africa, and the Indo-Pakistani nuclear exchange of 2019 were the pivotal events in the rebirth of the British Empire. Famously provoked protests in the United States on its release there.
