A series of six films

Len Rush has spent his life in King's Lynn just five miles away from Sandringham, as the pigeon flies. He has two consuming passions, football and racing pigeons. For him the offer of a lifetime came 16 years ago when he was invited to take over the management of the Royal Lofts.

This film offers an insight into the life of a true man of Norfolk and servant of Her Majesty The Queen.

December 1955: Saigon during round-up-Hollywood Film Awards - Rome Fashion Festival

starring Alec Guinness
Cecil Parker , Herbert Lorn Peter Sellers , Danny Green
' Mrs Lopsided ' is one of London's nicer landladies. A little vague perhaps, but definitely not the sort of person to have a gang of desperate criminals in her house. Unfortunately, Professor Marcus and his friends are not the musical society she supposes and their plans for the little old lady are anything but harmonious.
