Starring comedy icons Peggy Mount and David Kossoff in their best-known TV roles, this fifth series sees the Larkins saying goodbye to Sycamore Street, as hen-pecked but crafty Alf and his domineering wife Ada move to a nice little caf nearby, which serves as both their new home and their new business; they even enlist former neighbour Hetty Prout as a kitchen hand, and take in a new lodger habitual rent-dodger Major Osbert Rigby-Soames (Retd.). As if they didn't have enough on their hands, they also find themselves in charge of troublesome teenage nephew George...This classic early ATV sitcom was created by Clapham-born Fred Robinson and based upon his youthful scripts for plays about a fictional Cockney family. With skilful comic playing and a script that ATV production controller Bill Ward described as the funniest he had ever read, The Larkins inspired great affection throughout its six-year run. First screened in 1963, these episodes have been transferred from the original film telerecordings specifically for this release.
A highly personal sequel to his previous year's Tonite Let's All Make Love in London, The Fall sees British director Peter Whitehead chronicling the turbulent, world-changing events taking place in America between the autumn of 1967 and the summer of 1968. Exploring the transition from the optimism of 'flower power' to a darker more violent mood, The Fall both fictionalises and questions Whitehead's own role as a documentary filmmaker. Capturing key events of the period from anti-war protests at the Pentagon and Columbia University to the assassination of Robert Kennedy the film also features writers Arthur Miller and Paul Auster, civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael, artist Robert Rauschenberg and actress Julie Bovasso, among others; the soundtrack features original music by The Nice and soul singer PP Arnold. Considered by Whitehead to be his most significant work, The Fall is presented here in a brand-new High Definition restoration from the original film elements.

What is a zombie? A human being not fully alive yet not completely dead, or a creature of books and popular films?Do they really exist and if so where do you start looking for them?Anthony Head asks these and many more questions on his travels in Haiti where zombism and voodooism are the accepted norm. In this, one of the poorest countries in the world, his search for the living dead takes him to a grisly voodoo celebration, to a voodoo temple and to various zombie experts who provide him with some startling revelations.He also meets with a woman who, with police protection, was prepared to dig up a zombie from a grave so that he could spend 30 minutes with it. When filming becomes impossible in the country, Anthony ponders on whether zombies are a scam, another form of murder, the result of poisoning, or psychological trauma. This is a fascinating and provocative attempt to explain how zombies are made.
In July of 1996, Rocket Pictures was called to ask if they'd distribute a video showing an interview with an EBE (Extra-Terrestrial Biological Entity). Throughout this documentary, both the President of Rocket and Victor--the video supplier--evade explaining why the tape came forward when it did. Not even hammy show host Steven Williams ("X" from The X-Files) seems to connect with the fact that the notorious Roswell autopsy footage came out only a year earlier. For a supposedly unbiased chronicle, there's a fair amount of debunking and abstaining from straight answers in the course of the 52 minutes. There's a lot of preliminary information regarding "Dreamland", the mysterious Area 51 airbase in Nevada purported to be a test site for more than just US stealth planes. Through skewed camera angles, goofy computer graphics, cheesy re-creation footage, and teeth-grating electronic music a vague history of the base is knotted together. All the important elements are dutifully name-checked: Project Sigma, Majestic 12, Project Blue Book, and Ronald Reagan. The actual interview footage is silent and lasts less than three minutes. Far more interesting is the interview with Victor who appears disguised, blacked out, and with a manipulated voice answering the antagonistic and accusatory tone of questions obviously dubbed over later. The experts brought in to offer opinion all seem a bit embarrassed about how to react to the tape, but it only takes movie make-up king Rick Baker saying it's unquestionably a fake to knock the other opinions aside. The programme-makes suggest that you decide for yourself. Just don't watch MIB or ID4 too soon afterwards. --Paul Tonks
