The second part of Pasolini's trilogy is based on the 14th century stories of Geoffrey Chaucer. Plunging with gusto into some of the blackest and bawdiest of the tales Pasolini celebrates almost every conceivable form of sexual act with a rich earthy humour. The film's visual magic is complimented by this new high-definition restoration. Tom Baker is included in a largely British cast with the director himself taking on the role of Chaucer.

Years before he became revered as the Gentleman of British Horror', prolific filmmaker Pete Walker started his cinema career making hugely popular sexploitation movies and gangland thrillers. Walker's films didn't shy away from controversial subjects prostitution, underage sex, pornography and the criminal underworld and proved irresistible to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. X'-rated productions like School for Sex (which played solidly in London's West End for over a year) and the bloodthirsty Man of Violence (a forerunner of Get Carter) display the exceptional early talents of Britain's most celebrated and commercially successful director of his generation. Now for the very first time, Walker's finest non-horror movies are brought together for this spectacular new box-set, starring a host of famous faces: Robin Askwith (Confessions of a Window Cleaner), Francoise Pascal (Mind Your Language), James Aubrey (Bouquet of Barbed Wire), David Kernan (Carry On Abroad) and Luan Peter (Hammer's Lust for a Vampire). The Pete Walker Heritage Collection collects For Men Only (1967), School for Sex (1968), The Big Switch (1968), Man of Violence (1970), Cool It Carol! (1970) and Home Before Midnight (1978), all presented here in brand new HD restorations, and featuring an arresting array of exclusive extras, including brand-new interviews with Walker himself.
