A spectacular singing event " Voices for a Better World Present Licence To Thrill" is going to be held in UK. There will be a live orchestra and schoolchildren will be singing songs from James Bond movies.
James Chapman took his BA (History) and MA (Film Studies) at the University of East Anglia and then undertook his doctoral research at Lancaster University, completing his thesis on the role of official film propaganda in Britain during the Second World War. He was also captain of the History postgraduate cricket team when he led them to ignominious defeat against a Staff XI, though claims to have invented the shot now known as the slog-sweep in an attempt to force the pace against the Staff's leg spinner who was illegally recruited from a local club. The match report in Wisden described him as "an elegant and stylish right hand bat, but whose bowling elevated rank incompetence to the level of high comic art".
In 1996 he joined The Open University where he taught a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and was principal contributing author to the university’s first dedicated course on Film and Television History. He turned down the offer of the England captaincy in order to join the University of Leicester as its founding Professor of Film Studies in 2005.
Professor Chapman’s research focuses on British popular culture, especially cinema and television in their historical contexts. He is interested in the role of the mass media as propaganda, the representation of war and history, and the cultural politics of popular fictions including, but not limited to, James Bond and Doctor Who. His second book, Licence To Thrill, was described by SFX magazine as “intelligent, ludicrous, a bit snobby–bit like Bond, really”. He is a Council member of IAMHIST (International Association of Media and History) and is co-editor of the Journal of British Cinema and Television.
