Originals: Steven Spielberg

Melvyn Bragg revisits his 1982 encounter with Steven Spielberg, the year in which his movie E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial hit cinema screens on the back of his success with Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Spielberg reveals that his troubled family life as a boy fuelled his desire to escape into fantasy and talks about his first attempt at film-making when he was 12, as well as his use of storyboards, and why he believes movies are like daydreams. The programme features contributions by Gareth Edwards, director of the 2014 remake of Godzilla.
