Helen Mirren and Julia Walters star in this British comedy based on a true story. Two middle-aged best friends, Chris Harper (Mirren) and Annie Clarke (Walters), are also members of a North Yorkshire Women's Institute group. When Annie's husband (John Alderton) is diagnosed with leukemia, they decide to try and raise money for a new leukemia unit in the local hospital. But they don't go down the usual W.I. route. Instead they hit on the idea of a calendar with an extra twist and craft a tastefully nude calendar featuring the ladies' usual activities of baking, gardening and flower arranging. The calendar quickly becomes a best-seller and the women then find themselves on their way to Hollywood.

Every episode from Series 1-4 of the 1970s LWT sitcom starring John Alderton as Bernard Hedges, put-upon teacher of the wayward class 5C at Fenn Street School. Hedges' lot is unenviable - nosey, jobsworth caretaker Norman Potter (Derrick Guyler) frustrates his every move with rules and regulations, student Maureen Bullock (Liz Gebhart) nurses a huge crush on him and the class's usual suspects, led by wide-boy Eric Duffy, (Peter Cleal) run him ragged. Also includes the 1971 spin-off feature film, which centres on a chaotic trip to the country for the unruly class of 5C, who taunt a rival school, visit a pub and start huge food fights.
