Yes, I watched it last week but shot off on holiday afterwards so didn't have time to mention it. He did give a talk at our cinema a couple of years ago. Interesting that he said that some of the stuff he filmed years ago is still censored. The short clip from Cathy Come Home confirmed that fact that it was filmed in the streets where I grew up, as I saw the name 'Prescott Street' in the background.

I have just watched "In conversation with Ken Loach" Do watch it if you are interested in someone who is left wing and a director. Remember "Cathy come Home"? It made a huge impression on me at the time, and there are a number of films that are clearly worth watching.

But most of all listen to what he has to say about censorship, Thatcher and this government.
