Tommy Steele plays a sailor who, on shore leave in Seville, takes
the place of a recently arrested matador at a local bullfight.
Sid James triple. In 'The Big Job' (1965), a gang of hapless crooks
successfully perpetrate a robbery only to be caught after the fact.
Fifteen years later they emerge from prison intent on retrieving
their stolen loot - and discover that a police station has been
built over its hiding place. Sylvia Syms, Dick Emery, Jim Dale and
Joan Sims co-star. In 'Make Mine a Milluion' (1959), an ad-man
teams up with a make-up artist in a cunning plot to advertise Bonko
detergent on non-commercial television. Despite the trouble it
causes, the plan proves a great success and the two chaps soon set
up a pirate television station with the intention of beaming their
advertisements into other company's TV shows. Again the idea proves
successful - but just how long can these two go on avoiding their
come-uppance? 'The Lavender Hill Mob' (1951) is a classic Ealing
comedy. Nobody would ever suspect gold bullion delivery man Henry
Holland (Alec Guinness) of anything other than total devotion to
his job. However, with the aid of fellow lodger Pendlebury (Stanley
Holloway), he gathers together a gang to carry out a heist,
intending to smuggle the gold out of the country by melting it down
into miniature models of the Eiffel Tower. All goes well until the
consignment of models becomes muddled up with another, non-golden
batch. Watch out for an early cameo by Audrey Hepburn.

take to the cloth in an attempt to lay low. After pulling off a
small train robbery, 'Little Walter' (Ronald Fraser) and his gang
hide out, disguised as monks, in an abandoned monastery on a remote
Cornish island. As they warm to their new way of life, a return to
the big city begins to lose its attraction for the gang members.
Their idyllic lifestyle soon becomes threatened, however, when one
of their number, 'Squirts' McGinty (Bernard Cribbins), starts
placing bets on the dogs, causing the local police to become a mite
suspicious...

The Oldie The long-awaited autobiography of national treasure
Bernard Cribbins. Bernard Cribbins's life has been an eventful one.
In 1943, he left school aged fourteen and joined Oldham Repertory
Company where he earned fifteen bob for a seventy-hour week. After
being called up for National Service in 1946 he became a
paratrooper and spent several months in Palestine being shot at. On
returning home, and to the theatre, Bernard was eventually
approached by George Martin, then an A&R man for Parlophone
Records, who suggested he made a record. Just months away from
producing The Beatles, Martin asked Bernard to come to Abbey Road
Studios in north London and, after teaching him how to sing into a
microphone, they eventually recorded two hit singles - 'The Hole in
the Ground' and 'Right Said Fred'. These, together with appearances
in now classic films such as Two Way Stretch and The Wrong Arm of
the Law (not to mention a certain television programme called
Jackanory), catapulted Bernard to stardom and, by the time he
started filming The Railway Children in 1970, he was already a
national treasure. Since then, Bernard's CV has been an A-Z of the
best entertainment that Britain has to offer, and, thanks to
programmes such as the aforementioned Jackanory, The Wombles, and,
more recently, Old Jack's Boat, he has become the voice of many
millions of childhoods. Seventy-five years in the making and packed
with entertaining anecdotes, Bernard Who? tells the wonderful story
of one of the longest and most celebrated careers in show business.
Broadcast to mark the 3000th programme of the much-loved children's
series Jackanory, The Hobbit was transmitted over two weeks and 10
episodes in 1979. It told the gripping story of Bilbo Baggins and
his band of dwarves, who are on a quest for the treasure guarded by
the fearsome dragon Smaug. As he leaves his cosy hobbit-hole and
travels into the wild, Bilbo's adventures begin. On his journey, he
will encounter trolls, goblins, elves and giant spiders - as well
as a mysterious and magical ring and a strange, sinister creature
named Gollum... Read by Bernard Cribbins, Jan Francis, Maurice
Denham and David Wood, this rare audio soundtrack is sure to offer
a treat for all fans of J. R. R. Tolkien. 2 CDs. 2 hrs 28 mins.
