I Lived With You (1933) - a comedy starring Ivor Novello, based on a play that he wrote - is the third film in this second season of Kino Quickies.
Novello plays a homeless Russian prince who meets Gladys Wallis (Ursula Jeans) in the maze at Hampton Court and moves in with her family. His presence in this normal family home has chaotic effects on the whole household. Also starring Ida Lupino as Glad's sister, Ada and Eliot Makeham & Minnie Rayner as her parents, the film was directed by the most prolific director in UK film history, Maurice Elvey.
Our guest for the Q&A is the author John Snelson, who has written extensively about the performing arts and has a new book coming out soon about the history of British musicals.
I Lived With You has been released on DVD by Renown Films. Currently, however, all the copies available online are really expensive, so hopeully it will turn up on Talking Pictures TV and TPTV Encore soon.

Kino Quickies 08 - The Impassive Footman (1932) with Mel Byron
The Impassive Footman (1932), is the earliest film in Kino Quickies season 2. It's a tense melodrama about an unhappy marriage, a foiled affair and a doctor's dilemma, all watched over by a mysterious -you might even say impassive - footman.
The film stars George Curzon as the eponymous footman, Betty Stockfeld & Allan Jeayes as the married couple at the centre of the film and Owen Nares as dashing young doctor, Bryan Daventry.
NOBODY is credited as the film's director - the candidates are its producer, Basil Dean and Graham Cutts. We try to get to the bottom of this in the Q&A.
Our guest for the Q&A is comedian and host of the Talking Pictures TV Podcast, Mel Byron.
The TPTV podcast is mostly made up of reviews of upcoming films submitted by TPTV viewers. Mel and the team are always looking for new contributors - especially of the lady variety because it's currently a bit chap-heavy. If you'd like to take part, get in touch with them on Twitter, Facebook or by email.

The Impassive Footman is available as part of a DVD box set which you can buy here.

Kino Quickies 10 - A Fire Has Been Arranged (1935) with Steve Chibnall
A Fire Has Been Arranged is the first full length feature starring the comedy musical duo, Flanagan & Allen.
The first of two films in the season to be directed by Leslie Hiscott, it also stars Robb Wilton and a 35 year old (but perpetually middle-aged) Alastair Sim. It was, like many quota quickies, produced by Julius Hagan at Twickenham Studios.
Our guest for the Q&A is quota quickie royalty in the form of the author Steve Chibnall, who literally wrote the book on quota quickies. It's called Quota Quickies by Steve Chibnall.
You can buy Quota Quickies by Steve Chibnall on the internet.
And the DVD of A Fire Has Been Arranged is widely available.
In 1978, an elderly Ches Allen appeared on ITV's "Looks Familiar".
