Now in his 90s, he talks to Matthew Sweet about his extraordinary career. Mark Gatiss from The League of Gentlemen concludes his alternative guide to British cinema. Listeners, screenwriters and directors including Bertrand Tavernier, Alex Cox, Frank Cottrell Boyce and Jake Arnott nominate the British classics they think have been neglected by posterity.
