Helpmates
Recovering from a pretty wild party, Ollie is horrified by the contents of a telegram bearing the unfortunate news of his wife's unexpected and imminent arrival home. A quick call to Stan could solve all his problems or more than likely create some new ones. Is is a case of many hands make light work or too many cooks spoil the broth?

Six programmes in which A. N. Wilson takes a fresh perspective on the Victorian age through some of its most remarkable figures. 3: Cardinal Newman
The Martyrs' Memorial in Oxford commemorates the brave deaths of Cranmer,
Ridley and Latimer during the reign of Bloody Mary for their refusal to accept the Catholic religion. 'We shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England as I trust shall never be put out,' That candle was the Protestant religion, but why did it take nearly 300 years before a memorial was built? Because in 1841 the dons of Oxford panicked, thinking that the candle was about to be snuffed out by Cardinal Newman.

I starring
Meet the greatest singing cowboy of them all - Rex O'Herlihan immaculate in his designer stetson and riding his perfect palomino, Wildfire. Ready to right wrongs, eliminate evil and foil foes Rex rides into the tacky town of Oakwood and the adventures - and the laughs - begin. This affectionate western parody is set in that particular never-never land where the good guys wear white and where handsome cowboys burst into terrible songs around camp fires.
