An early serial from the long-running BBC television series starring William Hartnell as the original Doctor Who. When the Doctor and his fellow travellers on the TARDIS board a moving spaceship they are surprised to discover that its occupants appear to be dead. Ian Chesterton (William Russell) finally manages to revive a few of the crew and discovers that they have been banned from leaving the orbit of the nearest planet, Sense-Sphere. A number of Sensorites, the race that inhabits the planet, subsequently arrive on the ship and threaten the Doctor and his comrades in a similar manner. A battle of wits ensues in which the humans, aided by the Doctor, attempt to escape the clutches of their alien captors.
Final adventure for the first incarnation of television's favourite time traveller. The Doctor (William Hartnell), Ben and Polly arrive at the South Pole Tracking station in 1986, just as a strange satellite enters Earth's orbit, affecting the latest space mission. The Doctor predicts that the new arrival is Mondas, Earth's long-lost twin planet, and is proved correct when the base is invaded by the Cybermen, the planet's ruthlessly logical and seemingly invulnerable inhabitants.
Set during the London Blitz of 1940, Tommy Trinder stars as a kennelman who volunteers for the East End Auxiliary Fire Service. The volunteers have to work alongside the regular firemen, who resent the amateurs but who could also not have saved so many lives without them. This film was made in 1943 with the help of the National Fire Service and is now seen as a tribute to all the professionals and volunteers who put their lives at risk saving others.
The first four films from the hugely popular 'Carry On' series. In 'Carry On Sergeant' (1958), a sergeant (William Hartnell) takes a bet that the last recruits he trains will win the 'Star Squad' award. The sergeant's inept young charges include Bob Monkhouse, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor. In 'Carry On Teacher' (1959), trouble erupts at a secondary school when inspectors arrive to evaluate the teachers' work. A group of pupils (led by a youthful Richard O'Sullivan) who don't want their teacher transferred to a different job play up. In 'Carry On Nurse' (1959), the patients in a men's hospital ward decide to revolt against the staff, as led by the indomitable Matron (Hattie Jacques). Finally, in 'Carry On Constable' (1959), police sergeant Wilkins (Sid James) has a new batch of dubious recruits on his hands, whose idea of covert surveillance involves dressing up in drag.

The Doctor (William Hartnell), Ian (William Russell), Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) and Susan (Carol Ann Ford) find themselves stranded in Aztec times when the TARDIS is trapped in a tomb. Proclaimed a goddess by the Aztec priests, Barbara attempts to change the course of history by forbidding the human sacrifices which are part of the Aztecs' religion. It is up to the Doctor to find a way back into the tomb and recover the TARDIS, before the priest Tlotoxl (John Ringham) unmasks Barbara.
Upper class twit Windrush (Ian Carmichael) causes military mayhem when he joins up in the army.

A sequel followed with 'I'm Alright Jack'.
A comic actor who first came to attention on the popular radio series The Goon Show, Peter Sellers remains one of the world’s most acclaimed comedy stars. Graduating from radio and TV to significant film roles, Sellers demonstrated a remarkable gift for character transformation. The three films in this exclusive box-set are from the late 50s / early 60s period of Sellers’ career before he became an international star as Inspector Clouseau. Heavens Above! (1963) is a British comedy of manners par excellence in which Sellers’ socialist priest is mistakenly sent to an upper-crust parish. I’m All Right, Jack (1959) won Sellers a BAFTA for Best Actor as a naïve ex-soldier looking to get ahead in business who unwittingly ends up as a pawn in the machinations between management and the trade unions. Only Two Can Play (1962) sees Sellers as John Lewis, a bored librarian tempted by the wife of a local councilor - risky stuff in a small Welsh Valley town. And finally, the box-set is completed by a definitive collection of his very best work on TV: The Very Best of Peter Sellers.
Two classic episodes from the famous BBC sci-fi series starring, respectively, William Hartnell and Peter Davison as the Doctor. In 'The Awakening' (1984), the time-travellers come to the rescue of rural village Little Hodcombe, where a historical re-enactment is brought to life by alien war machine, the Malus. The Doctor (Davison) and his companions must help the villagers, past and present, to defeat the evil demon. 'The Gunfighters' (1966) sees the Doctor (Hartnell) materialising in the Wild West town of Tombstone with a bad bout of toothache. After tracking down a dentist by the name of Doc Holliday, the Doctor finds himself involved in a case of mistaken identity, and must find a way to escape a gang of cowboys, hellbent on trouble...
This narrated TV soundtrack stars William Hartnell as the Doctor in one of his most weird and wonderful adventures. "We seem to be caught! Trapped, somehow..." In this vintage six-part serial, first shown on BBC TV in February and March 1965, a strange magnetic force pulls the TARDIS down to the craterous surface of Vortis. The Doctor and his friends learn that the planet has been invaded, and the parasitic Animus is slowly enveloping it in a web-like domain. The giant ant-like Zarbi are under its control, whilst the butterfly-like Menoptra are battling to reclaim their planet. Narrated by Maureen O'Brien, this full-cast soundtrack evokes a classic Doctor Who adventure in all its aural magnificence. The alien ambience of Vortis, the insistent chirruping of the Zarbi, and the supernatural voice of the Animus are all accompanied by the eerie sonics of Ron Grainer & Delia Derbyshire's theme tune. Written by Bill Strutton, this was the Doctor's most exotic and lavish adventure yet. Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes (P) 2020 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (c) 2020 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd Cover art by Oink Creative Narrated soundtrack produced by David Darlington Project editor: Michael Stevens
