"Six English Towns (DVD)"
"Architectural historian Alec Clifton-Taylor OBE presents a potted history and architectural study of six small English towns of great character. Guiding viewers through the pattern of English building, Clifton-Taylor examines the differing use of local materials in each town s grand public buildings, manor houses and modest homes, and plots the evolution of each settlement in relation to its landscape. Erudite, agreeable and accessible, Clifton-Taylors passion for his subject is also displayed in forthright criticism for modern developments that threaten the identity of a community. A champion of pedestrianisation and despiser of multi-storey car parks, he makes a convincing case for the conservation of our traditional living and working spaces. In this first series he visits Chichester in West Sussex, Richmond (Yorkshire), Tewkesbury (Gloucestershire), Stamford (Lincolnshire), Totnes (Devon) and Ludlow (Shropshire). First broadcast on the BBC Two in 1978, the programmes now serve as a fascinating historical snapshot of the enduring character of each locale.

Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicentre of these mysterious disappearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide. There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Brufort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nicknamed The Eternal , who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetuous 18 years-old Ma Loute. Towering high above the bay stands the van Peteghems mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bruforts. Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life.

"Warren Clarke and Nigel Havers star in this BBC comedy thriller about two forgotten Cold War Soviet sleeper agents left in Britain, whod rather stay unexposed. In post-Soviet Russia, KGB officers locate an isolated hangar in the heart of the Kremlin. This was once a training centre for ""sleeper"" agents, trained to completely integrate with British life. It soon becomes apparent that two such Cold War spies never came home.... The agents formally known as Sergei Rublev and Vladimir Zelenski have been living for 25 years as high-flying City financier Jeremy Coward (Nigel Havers) and northern trade unionist Albert Robinson (Warren Clarke), unaware of their Soviet origins. Utterly absorbed with their new lives, though opposites in temperament and character, the two men are by now more English than the locals and horrified to learn that the Kremlin is trying to track them down. Unrelenting KGB high-up Nina Grishina (Joanna Kanska) flies into London to lead the search for the two men alerting the bumbling bureaucrats of MI5 and their twitchy CIA counterparts to investigate why the Russians are mobilising. A multi-stranded cat-and-mouse chase follows across four feature-length episodes, delivering a hilarious cross-cultural parody of the spying game.
