Classic documentary drama based on Walter Lord's book about the
sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Told from the perspective of Second
Officer Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More), the story follows the
supposedly 'unsinkable' ship as she embarks on her maiden voyage
and ultimately founders in the North Atlantic Ocean. The ship
leaves port and soon Captain Smith (Laurence Naismith) is given
several ice warnings but decides not to decrease the Titanic's
speed. When the ship hits an iceberg late at night on April 14th
the situation looks bleak, especially with the realisation that
there are not enough lifeboats to carry all on board. The Titanic's
distress call is received by the Carpathia but she is four hours
away and unlikely to reach the ship before it sinks. Chaos breaks
out both above and below deck as the passengers and crew race
against time for their survival.

Ships in 15 - 30 working days

After the destruction of the SS Asia Star in London Docks,
Commander 'Robbie' Brennan joins forces with Special Branch and MI5
to investigate an underground terrorist group planning acts of
sabotage. They discover that the group's next act of destruction is
'the big one' - an attack on a power station.
Four films based on the cartoon creations of Ronald Searle. In 'The
Belles of St Trinians' (1954), Miss Millicent Fritton (Alastair
Sim), headmistress of St Trinian's School for Girls, attempts to
stave off her creditors by 'looking after' the pocket money of a
wealthy sheikh's daughter currently enrolled at the school, and
investing it on the sheikh's horse, Arab Boy, in the local derby.
In 'Blue Murder at St Trinians' (1956), the anarchic schoolgirls
win a UNESCO prize trip to Rome. Upon arrival they become involved
with a jewel thief (Lionel Jeffries) who hides out with the school,
disguised as the headmistress. The jolly hockey sticks are being
waved with malicious force once again in 'The Pure Hell of St
Trinians' (1957). After they burn their school down, the girls are
sent to the Middle East, where an Arab sheik tries to lure them
into his harem. Flash Harry (George Cole) attempts to come to the
rescue, only to find himself stranded on a desert island with a
familiar member of the constabulary (Joyce Grenfell). In the 1966
film 'The Great St Trinians Train Robbery', a bunch of crooks take
on more than they can handle when they decide to bury the loot from
a successful robbery in the grounds of St Trinians. The
high-spirited girls (or 'hooligans' as they are sometimes known)
take it upon themselves to confront the highly-strung criminals,
with devastating and comic effect.
