Larger view camera s and the like slide the lens closer or further from the film plane on rails on smaller cameras, a focus ring on the lens is often rotated to move the lens elements by means of a helical screw. Other systems include levers on the lens or on the camera body. There are a number of ways in which focus may be determined. Simplest is using a distance scale and measuring or estimating distance to the subject. Other methods include the rangefinder , which uses triangulation to determine the distance. On other cameras, the photographer examines the focus directly by means of a focusing screen . On the view camera, this ground glass is placed where the film will ultimately go, and is replaced by a sheet of film once focus is correct. Twin lens reflex cameras use two lenses that are mechanically linked, one for focusing and the other to take the photograph. Single lens reflex cameras, meanwhile, use the same objective lens for both purposes, with a mirror to direct the light to either the focusing screen or the film. Focusing screens, in their simplest form, consist of a matte glass or plastic surface on which the image can be focused.

Written by Galton and Simpson Ray Galton and Galton and Simpson Alan Simpson , the title is a retronym , the episodes were not originally identified separately. Outline and background Hancock plays an actor in a radio serial called The Bowmans , a parody of The Archers . The theme tune to The Bowmans is a parody by series composer Wally Stott of the real Archers theme tune Barwick Green . Hancock plays Joshua Merriweather, a parody of the soap opera s country bumpkin Walter Gabriel. He annoys the other actors and producers so much they kill off his character, only to find the audience hold the character in greater affection than they had thought. Hancock has difficulties finding new work, but the BBC are forced to resurrect his character in The Merriweathers by discovering a long lost twin brother, with Hancock s involvement resuming under his exorbitant terms. In his produced script a substantial portion of the village fall down a disused mine shaft, and Joshua proposes repopulating the village with his other relatives all to be played by Hancock . The supporting cast includes Patrick Cargill as the producer, Peter Glaze as an animal impersonator and Brian Oulton as the actor portraying the patriarch of the Bowmans family. The programme is clearly a parody of the killing of Grace Archer in September 1955. It bears a few similarities to the play and film The Killing of Sister George , a better known parody of the incident.
