This book, the first of two volumes, will provide a major new history of the British B film, tracing the development of the low-budget supporting feature from the 1927 Films Act (which introduced a quota system for the distribution and exhibition of indigenous product) to the age of television, when B film producers channelled their energies into making TV programmes. Along the way, the authors will address leading producers and studios, B film stars, distributors, the genres and themes that tended to dominate B film production (comedy, horror, crime and fantasy). 'Quota Quickies' will include a case study of the B films of Michael Powell. The authors' argument is that the B film was hugely important in British cinema history in offering an opportunity for British actors and technicians to develop their careers, and that the films themselves provided an outlet for the exploration of peculiarly British cultural concerns in an industry traditionally dominated by Hollywood output. They also contend that some of the films stand up well to contemporary viewing and are deserving of critical re-evaluation.

This fourth edition has been fully revised and expanded to include even more acts than ever before, with additional sections to cover Band Aid-style charity congregations and compilation albums from the early '80s K-Tel efforts through to the Now That's What I Call Music series and its competitors.

As his obsessive journey unfolds, the foggy road provides Luke with an empty canvas upon which he paints his memories, desires and deepest fears. His old love affair, his young family, his efforts to extricate dissidents from Gorbachev's Russia, his run–ins with the KGB are vividly recounted and parsed in order to filter truth from reality. A life–changing revelation awaits Luke at the end of his trip. "A new, fresh and unique voice, Hamlet Sarkissian explores the human condition in the best traditions of modern existentialist literature, allowing his charismatic characters to shine through with heroism, despite their tragic circumstances. Love, politics, morality, collectivism and individualism are all fair game in this timely and profound novel." – American TV actor, producer and director, David Boreanaz, known for his roles of vampire–turned–private investigator "Angel" on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, FBI Special Agent "Seeley Booth" on the comedy–drama series Bones and "Jason Hayes" in the military drama series, SEAL Team. "LOVERS IN THE FOG is a terrific journey! Seemingly ripped from the headlines, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. And with its visual style, the book is aching to be a movie. Bravo, Mr. Sarkissian!" – Cult indie filmmaker Larry Cohen, subject of the recent documentary King Cohen, creator of "The Invaders" and "Branded" TV series, director of ground–breaking films Bone, Black Caesar, It's Alive and The Stuff, screenwriter for major studio films like Phone Booth and Cellular.
