Story: Ball of String by MARGARET ELLIOT Presenters
Sheelagh Gilbey , Ben Thomas

It isn't often that Stan has an idea, let alone a good one, but Ollie is foolhardy enough to act upon it with the inevitable result.

A feature film
[Starring] Will Hay
with Claude Hulbert, Charles Hawtrey

When 'St Michael 's School' is evacuated to the eerie Dunbain Castle on the Isle of Skye, William Lamb - their new teacher - naturally goes with them. He soon learns that the castle is haunted by the ghost of Mad MacKinnon and that the bagpipes sound when someone is about to die...

This comedy thriller, set in war-time Britain, is not only one of Hay's funniest films but also an exciting and often tense murder mystery.

3: Too Much, Too Early, Kills
The Warden (or headmaster) of Radley is a teacher, administrator and Court of Last Resort.
He is a prop to the college's morale, a guardian of its standards, its spokesman, advocate and vindicator.
Dennis Silk is the 14th Warden of Radley. He is a staunch Christian, brilliant cricketer, and a lover of gardening and English literature. In this portrait he is observed as he copes with Radley's day-to-day chores and problems: a new Sub-Warden to be appointed; parents to be harangued on the dangers of over-indulging their sons; two boys to be punished for drunkenness. This at a time when a vital General Election was under way, and Labour was committed to the abolition of schools like Radley.

This week: Fighting Back
Trooper Keith Thompson, aged 18, and Second Lieutenant Paul Currell, 22, were almost given up for dead when they were blown up on security patrols 18 months ago. Their lives were saved by surgeons and nurses at Belfast Royal Hospital using new techniques that have become the envy of the medical world, and Man Alive followed their return to consciousness in the much-acclaimed film, Fighting for Life. Since then hospitals have been battling to restore both men to health and independence.

Lieutenant Currell, who had a leg blown off has had to learn to walk again and is still in the army. Keith Thompson, who suffered severe head injuries and has had to learn to read and write again at the age of 19, has left the army and found a job despite partial paralysis.
Harold Williamson follows their determined fight to make a fresh start against impossible odds.
