continues the season of films starring Margaret Rutherford
Today with Stanley Holloway
A deafening explosion hurls local residents into a bewildering sequence of events. London's last bomb has not only blown a hole in their designated recreation ground but uncovered a vast treasure and a decree that Pimlico should be part of France. Ration books are torn up and licensing laws abandoned, but life is not all beer and boules in downtown Burgundy.
Screenplay by T.E.B. CLARKE
Produced by MICHAEL BALCON Directed by HENRY CORNELIUS

Buzkashi - chasing the goat on horseback - used to be the national sport of Afghanistan. Since the Soviet occupation in 1979, most of the horses and many of the riders have been killed in the fighting, and the game has now disappeared. Many of the Buzkashi champions came from the Turkmen tribe. These people were not strictly Afghan. The Turkmen originated 900 years ago in Turkey and have been driven from one resting place to another ever since. Ak-Mehmet, a great Buzkashi champion in his day, who once played before the ex-king of Afghanistan, now sits in a refugee camp in Pakistan. Others have been able to accept an invitation to return thousands of miles to their original homeland in Turkey, but they find the country they return to is very different from the Turkey they left behind 1900 years ago.
