La Bombe
His first taste of film-making in Britain was acting in Peter Watkins' "The War Game" (he had the role of the jumpy GI who triggers the nuclear strike). He worked for a time as a producer/director for "BBC Panorama," making programmes on Ronald Reagan, then governor of California; the May 1968 events in Paris, and censorship. But the programme's editors proved unreceptive to some of his other proposals, and Hartog soon left the BBC to work freelance.
