Village Hall - Complete Series 2
Con cast individuali illustri e sceneggiature eccezionali di un team di scrittori che include la star di Randall e Hopkirk Kenneth Cope, il rinomato drammaturgo Peter Terson, il drammaturgo Donald Churchill e i collaboratori di Coronation Street Harry Kershaw e Tim Aspinall, questa antologia Granada presenta sette drammi incentrati sugli eventi che si svolgono in una tipica sala di paese. Trame diverse esplorano le vite e le idiosincrasie degli abitanti e dei visitatori, con tensioni sepolte, amori segreti e rivalità che emergono in superficie in questi ritratti delicatamente umoristici della vita provinciale inglese.Questa seconda serie vede la sala del villaggio ospitare un concorso di bellezza con alcune sorprese, gli sforzi sempre più ambiziosi di due rivali in amore per fare torte, la controversa visita di una banda di ottoni tedesca e la riunione finale di un battaglione in tempo di guerra. Gli interpreti includono John Le Mesurier, Zoë Wanamaker, Joan Hickson, Anton Rodgers, Kenneth Cranham, Jan Francis e Dinah Sheridan. -
The Arthur Haynes Show - Volume 4
Reigning supreme for almost a decade as ITV's biggest comedian, Arthur Haynes was one of the most influential and popular comics that television has ever seen. His shows remained firmly in the top ten until his untimely death in 1966 robbed the world of a comedy genius. Lack of repeats ensured that subsequent generations were denied Haynes' comedic brilliance - until now. Featuring wickedly funny scripts from Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight, they invariably drew on the familiar class antagonism which he would hone to perfection on Till Death Us Do Part. Haynes' robust working-class delivery was inspired never more so than in the character of Hobo Haynes, a belligerent, heavily decorated tramp fond of recounting tales of patriotic bravery whilst being 'up to me neck in muck and bullets'. This fourth great collection of episodes returns him to his rightful place among the comedy greats. -
Chancer
In his breakout television role, multiple award winner Clive Owen stars as the talented, devious and utterly charming Derek ‘Dex’ Love – a City business analyst whose brilliant career, strategised under the pseudonym ‘Stephen Crane’, is stalked by a shady past. This complete-series release revisits the fast-paced and emotionally compelling scripts that made Chancer such a critical success, brilliantly capturing the heady atmosphere – and the pitfalls – of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s’ financial free-for-all. -

A.J. Wentworth, B.A.
In his final TV role, Arthur Lowe (Dad’s Army, Pardon the Expression) plays a popular but old-fashioned mathematics master attempting and largely failing to keep order among the unruly boys of Form IIIA at Burgrove Preparatory School, in the fictional rural town of Wilminister. Set in the 1940s, A. J. Wentworth, B.A. skillfully adapts the writings of H.F. Ellis which first appeared in diary form in Punch and later in The New Yorker, before being published in book form; the character of the beleaguered schoolmaster, played to perfection by Lowe, was inspired by Ellis’s own experiences as a teacher. -

Premier playwright of his generation, actor, composer and singer, by 1968 Noel Coward had reached an unassailable position for many people as the epitome of wit, style and flamboyance. In this relaxed and candid chat with David Frost, recorded in colour at theMayfair Theatre in September 1968, Coward discusses his successes and failures, favourite speeches that he has written, Churchill and Roosevelt's disagreement over 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen' and his definition of success.One of the triumvirate of Frost programmes that dominated ITV weekends in the late 1960s and early '70s, Frost on Friday concentrated on current affairs - often creating the headlines, as well as reporting on them. Made at a time when David Frost was hosting a chat show in the US and then jetting back to the UK to do three shows over the weekend, Frost on Friday concentrates this energy into forty minutes worth of incisive and insightful commentary on current affairs as well as a number of remarkable interviews with often controversial, high-profile public figures.
