starring Jennifer Jones, David Farrar with Cyril Cusack.

This story of tempestuous romance was photographed in the border country of Shropshire - the setting of Mary Webb's novel "Gone to Earth", from which it is adapted.
Jennifer Jones, who was the wife of David O. Selznick, came from Hollywood to star as Hazel Woodus, an untamed country girl - a creature of the moorland like the animals she befriends but who barely comprehends the customs of human society.

Flowers, fruit, and tomatoes at Clacks Farm in Worcestershire
It's fruit-gathering time in the orchard at Clacks Farm. Percy Thrower looks at his favourite varieties of eating and cooking apples and shows how to store them. It's time too to think of winter care for dahlias, gladioli, and chrysanthemums.

asks Professor Francis Camps in this series of highly personal films.
Prostitution - pornography - drugs - driving - are all fields in which the law has failed to achieve satisfactory results.
Professor Camps, the well-known pathologist who has worked on many famous murder cases, is highly critical of some of the laws that govern our daily lives. He believes there are many instances where they achieve the opposite result to that intended.

Starring Richard Burton, Joan Collins
with Basil Sydney, Cy Grant

The unnecessary death of one of the four survivors of a British ship torpedoed near Singapore in 1942 has a lasting effect on the other three who are eventually rescued.
Richard Burton gives a fine, brooding performance in this war story which bears a marked similarity to Hitchcock's Lifeboat. Cy Grant, the West Indian folk singer, is given his first major screen role in the part of the ship's purser.
