continues a season of films starring the celebrated comic actor. Today with Terry-Thomas, Peggy Mount.
When a group of well-known personalities - a television comedian, an authoress, a peer, a glamorous model - are blackmailed by the editor of a scandal sheet, they each decide that he would be better off dead.
Unfortunately plans backfire and the quartet decide to gang together... Peter Sellers is in sparkling form as the many-faceted comedian who is a master of disguise.

He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

'I had found a way of life that elated me: I tasted briefly, the nectar of the Gods ...'
But when the round-the-world motorcyclist Ted Simon got back from his four-year, 64,000-mile journey round the globe, he found it impossible to settle in Britain. To the eye of a man who had immersed himself in the cultures of 45 different countries, the British seemed to have sold their soul to materialism. His best-selling account of his trip, Jupiter's Travels, mapped the different, inner road he had found while riding his bike. To try to preserve that vision, he fled to a remote valley in North America.
Now Everyman has brought Ted Simon back to make a new journey, from London to the Scottish islands, meeting the readers who've responded to his book and its insights. Can they show him a Britain worthy of making a home in? Film cameraman RUSS WALKER

Six speculations on life in the computer age. with Robert Powell
5: The Forgery
Suppose that artificial intelligence research finally pays off: that computers write poetry, paint pictures, compose music. Imagine that television can do without actors and radio no longer needs the human voice; that a film producer used technology to recreate a famous film star's presence on the screen and the star took legal action. What if the ultimate prophesy of computer science came true; if machines outstripped the ability of human brain?
Would there be anything left for people to do?
