On 22 April 1972, Maxwell Confait , a transvestite prostitute, was murdered in his flat at Doggett Road, Catford. For George and Nell Lattimore , this grim item of local news was the start of a nightmare struggle to save their son Colin and see justice done.

An Out of Court debate
Nick Ross presents a follow-up to Rules of Justice.
The handling and interrogation of suspects in police custody is governed by a set of principles known as Judges' Rules. They are not laid down by Parliament; they have been frequently criticised; they are open to abuse; and cases like the Confait murder suggest they can lead to miscarriages of justice.
Police, lawyers and campaigners debate the need for radical change. Legal interpretation from Michael Molyneux.

Starring David Niven, Roger Livesey, Kim Hunter

Sqn-Ldr Peter Carter should have been killed when he baled out of a burning bomber over the Channel in 1945. But, still alive after a miraculous escape, he resists the summons of a hallucinatory 'messenger' to take his rightful place in the next world.
This stunning fantasy, set partly on a Technicolor earth and partly in a black-and-white heaven, was written, produced and directed by one of the most successful partnerships in British film history: that of MICHAEL POWELL and EMERIC PRESSBURGER.
