Article Abstract:

The BBC will always have less money to spend on films than Channel 4, according to Mark Shivas, head of BBC Films. However, BBC Films is managing to compete very well, and is producing around 10 films a year. It has established strong links with UK film-makers, and now plans to become a financially independent unit. Projects for 1996 include 'White Clouds,' Dennis Potter's last film script.

Article Abstract:

The film 'Patriot Games' is an adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel about ex-CIA agent Jack Ryan, directed by Australian Phillip Noyce. This is his first Hollywood film. He changed the anti-Irish aspect of the novel and made the plot less right-wing to achieve psychological and political balance. He handles action sequences unusually, creating tension through pre-knowledge.
