Hosted by a leading film critic and broadcaster (Danny Leigh, Claudia Winkleman or Catherine Bray), Reel World takes filmmakers and stars back to the streets where they made famous movies to explore how the places and people have changed in the years between.
Filled with famous faces and recreated frames, the show combines film history, criticism and cultural comment in a vivid and evocative format.
Think Michael Caine and Mike Hodges go back up north to revisit the locations from Get Carter; Gary Oldman, Ray Winstone and Kathy Burke heading back to the Southeast London streets of Nil By Mouth; Danny Boyle and cast in Edinburgh to relive Trainspotting; or Shane Meadows revisiting the imagined world of This Is England or Dead Man’s Shoes.
The 30-minute returnable series is a cultured and curious celebration of British cinema.
