Nightingale's Boy's shows what happens when a master at a northern grammar school, Bill 'Tweety' Nightingale, tries to organise a reunion with the boys of the 'star' class of his career: the 1949 sixth form. Nearing retirement and aware that his gifts are fading, Bill fondly regards the class as the high point of his career, and now hopes to recapture some of its alchemy; as this seven-part series unfolds, we see just how the likely lads of '49 turned out - and whether Bill is doomed to disillusion. Derek Farr - like several cast members a former teacher himself - brings great sympathy to the role of Bill Nightingale, a radical who had fought in the Spanish Civil War, and a distinguished master with 35 years' teaching experience. Each drama focuses on a particular member of his favourite class, with Anton Rodgers, Ronald Lewis, David Swift and Bernard Gallagher among the noted actors portraying the sixth-formers in adult life; writers include award-winning playwright Jack Rosenthal, Arthur Hopcraft.

But Anna's ex-husband is having a hard time letting go and when he hears about the marriage plans he becomes intent on doing anything - anything - to prevent it. Whether that involves hiring one of Owen's gorgeous ex-girlfriends to work alongside him or banging on doors at all time of the day and night he's not letting go easily. And when it comes to the moment - is Anna really prepared to be let go? One thing is certain: whatever choices are made they're going to be Reckless.
Alfred Burke stars as down-at-heel inquiry agent Frank Marker in this critically acclaimed, long-running drama series. Always working the lower end of the spectrum - divorces, missing persons, bankruptcies - Marker's highly sympathetic character found great favour with viewers and Public Eye's enormous popularity endured throughout its ten-year lifespan and beyond. In common with many series made in the 1960s and '70s, a large number of episodes were junked; this set contains every surviving episode.

'The German invasion of England took place in July 1940 after the British retreat from Dunkirk. Strongly resisted at first, the German army took many months to restore order. But the resistance movement, lacking outside support, was finally crushed. Then, in 1944, the resistance movement reappeared'. That is the story of what happened when history was re-written. The Nazis have won the Second World War and is an army of occupation in England's green and pleasant land. Aged just 18 when, along with Andrew Mollo, Kevin Brownlow embarked on this ambitious documentary-style drama, the film took eight gruelling years to complete. The result is both a frightening and - with fears of fascism reappearing throughout Europe - a timely reminder of what might have happened if the Allies had not defeated the Nazi menace. Special features: Newly filmed interview with Kevin Brownlow Newly filmed interview with Production Assistant Joanna Roeber Archive interview with Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo Original trailer Stills Gallery featuring rare, previously unseen photos Other extras TBC Fully illustrated booklet with new writing on the film by Dr Josephine Botting (BFI) and full film credits

Then there's Father Dougal (Ardal O'Hanlan): young, innocent and almost inconceivably stupid.
