Peter Sellers contributes an inspired performance in this Boulting Brothers satire.

starring Peter Sellers, Ian Carmichael, Terry-Thomas, Richard Attenborough
Corrupt businessmen, incompetent managers and obstinate shop stewards are all mercilessly and equally lampooned in this famous Boulting Brothers' satire. Ian Carmichael is the hopelessly incompetent innocent who breaks the rules of the game and Peter Sellers excels as a pillar of shortsighted integrity.

It was the year Blue Peter turned detective and collected a few bruises!
Remember when Bill and Ben, the stolen Flower Pot Men, were rescued in the nick of time? And when Peter Hawkins revealed the mystery of the Flob-a-Dob Flower Pot language? How was Michael transformed into Tik Tok, the mini-robot from Oz? Was Janet really chopped in three? How can you trampoline with skis on - and what was the secret of the see-through bath?
Other highlights include World Land Speed Record holder Richard Noble's fire-fighting car, the agony of the Royal Navy Field Gun race, the muddy battle of Ashbourne Football and how free-falling Janet broke her pelvis!
If you missed any of these magic moments in 1984 today is your chance to catch up - and look ahead to 1985.
