From watching interviews with him and reading his obituaries, the film director Ken Russell who died yesterday aged 84 appeared to be someone who combined a passion for film making with good humour and a lack of pretension.I must confess that I've never seen any of his films, save for a few clips which were shown again yesterday. This is partly because as far as I know most of them haven't been shown on TV for years, if at all, either because of their content or the critical panning they received.
Hopefully following his death TV channels will show them so that we can see his artistry in full.
