Later series were mostly single or two part film studies of an author and his or her works, along similar lines to Arena and Omnibus. These included Philip Larkin, A.S. Byatt, H. G. Wells, Enid Blyton and Rev. W Awdry ("The Thomas the Tank Engine Man").[1] The current director of the British Library, Roly Keating, was editor of the programme from 1993 to 1996.[3][1]
