Kael was an American film critic who wrote predominantly for The New Yorker magazine. She was known for her in-depth, well-informed, impassioned movie reviews.

Barry Norman (1933 -)
Norman presented BBC1's Film programme from 1972, becoming the sole presenter the following year. Norman's stint was broken in 1982 by a brief unhappy spell presenting Omnibus. After returning to the Film series, Norman became increasingly annoyed by the BBC's reluctance to screen the programme at a regular time, and he accepted an offer in 1998 to work for BSkyB, where he remained for three years. Jonathan Ross took his place as the BBC programme's presenter. He is commonly associated with the catch-phrase "and why not?", which actually originated from his puppet likeness on the satirical show Spitting Image. Norman has since adopted the phrase himself, and it is the title of his autobiography. Norman has contributed a column to the Radio Times for many years, and has written a number of novels.
