'Mister 880' is a kindly old counterfeiter who only prints a few one-dollar bills whenever he needs them, but he presents U.S. Treasury agents with their toughest case...
Edmund Gwenn was one of the screen's most distinguished British character actors. His career stretched from 1920 to 1958 when he made Calabuch in Spain. He died in 1959 at the age of eighty-four.
For many of us on this side, the English Channel is not just a strip of water but a state of mind. 'It's a different sort of people here'.
Opinion polls investigate how many of us want to 'go into Europe'; experts discuss the economic and political pros and cons; but what sort of attitudes would we take over with us? What we feel has shown in the past to have mattered just as much.
Do we want to be part of Europe or will the Channel go on symbolising something which makes us 'different'?

The great new luxury Cunarder today makes her first voyage, perhaps the most exacting of her whole life. Untried and untested in motion she must make her way down the narrow Clyde between the high cranes of the shipyards and the green pastures of the opposite bank. When the QE 2 eventually reaches the deep water at Greenock, she is due to be inched into dry-dock for a final inspection before her trials and maiden voyage.
