Continues the season of films starring George Formby, one of Britain's most popular film comedians. Today with Googie Withers

'I'm not as daft as I look', says George Gullip - and proceeds to prove his claim. George is a newspaper compositor and an amateur sleuth so, when the police are baffled by a gang of counterfeiters, he devises an ingenious plan to trap the crooks... Formby is in fine form as the love-sick hero, and finds time to sing several songs - including 'Fanlight Fanny' - on the way to a hectic finale in a brewery.

Sarah Kennedy presents the first of a live series, reporting on all aspects of the world of education.
Education is in the news and there is no shortage of issues to cover. What should be taught and how? Who takes the decisions and do consumers have enough say? How do you get the best out of the opportunities on offer? Whatever your age, there should be something for you in this series.

Bayan Ko Pilipinas
(Lino Brocka 's Philippines) Lino Brocka is the most influential film director in the Philippines, and a leading figure in the civil rights movement. Throughout the period of martial law, he opposed the Marcos regime. In 1985 he was jailed on a trumped-up charge of sedition.
Now Cory Aquino is president, but poverty and intimidation are firmly entrenched, and the communist guerrillas, the New People's Army, continue to gain in number. Brocka led a clandestine expedition into the mountains to film interviews with the NPA, and Arena went with him, at a time when real-life events were becoming as dramatic as a Brocka film.
