Actor of the Year award. His accomplice is his devoted daughter
(Diana Rigg) and together they seek revenge in a most bloody and
violent way: one critic is decapitated in his bed, one is made to

Double bill of rauchy comedies by Frankie 'Titter Ye Not' Howerd,
the outrageously camp and bawdy British comic. 'Up Pompeii' (1971)
is the feature length spin-off from the Howerd's television series
about a lazy slave living in ancient Pompeii. When a document falls
into his hands listing the names of those plotting to assassinate
Emperor Nero, he is forced to infiltrate the group. Hilarious
mishaps result. In 'Up The Chastity Belt' (1971) Lurkalot (Frankie
Howerd) is a humble serf in Custard Castle, who runs a side-line
selling chastity belts and love potions at the local market place.
He's called upon to save the day when Sir Braggart De Bombast
attempts to seize the castle and kidnap the beautiful Lobelia De
Custard.
Four charming tales starring the marmalade-loving bear from darkest
Peru. The stories are: 'Please Look After This Bear', 'A Bear in
Hot Water', 'A Disappearing Trick' and 'Paddington and the Amateur
Dramatics.' 'Please look after this bear' said the label around
Paddington's neck, so the Brown family take him home and do just
that. Life with Paddington, however, is full of surprises -as
you'll find out in these four great dramatised stories! 1 CD. 50
mins.
