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.
Upper class twit Windrush (Ian Carmichael) causes military mayhem when he joins up in the army. An inept soldier, he unwittingly becomes involved in his high-ranking uncle's (Dennis Price) scam to appropriate some rather valuable spoils of war - a haul of German jewels. 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.

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
