CHURCHILL
The Finest Hours
1 x 111'
This is the only authorised version of Churchill's war years,
made with his full co-operation and blessing. It is an inspired and affectionate tribute to one of Britain's greatest men, portraying the Grand Old Man leading his country and her
Empire through their finest hours; jaw set pugnaciously, eyes gleaming with determination or twinkling with humour, to defeat the evil of Nazism.
ORSON WELLS tells the story of ‘Winnie’, Statesman, writer
and painter, the man who bestrode the world stage like a Colossus, symbolising not only his country's bloody-minded refusal to surrender, but also the ingenuity and eccentricities
that defeated the forces battering at the shores of his beloved Britain.

SUPERSPY
1 x 50'
This is the remarkable story of Reinhard Gehlen, former Head of
the West German Secret Service, who helped to found the CIA, the American Central Intellingence Agency. 
Over the years he has been called many names such as 'The man in shadows', 'The man with a thousand ears' and 'The man of a million mysteries'. Gehlen was Hitler's Chief of Intelligence
on the Russian Front during WWII. But long before May 1945 he had secreted himself and his files on the Soviets away from Berlin to the so-called Alpine Redoubt in southern Germany, while he waited his
chance to bargain for his freedom with the advancing Americans.
In this programme the story is traced from Gehlen's joining the Nazi Party during the early
1930's to his retirement on a CIA pension in the late 1960's. He died in 1979. Producer: Peter Batty Productions.

FAROUK
Last of the Pharaohs
1 x 50'
This unusual documentary-special tells the incredible life-story of that notorious Egyptian playboy-monarch who was overthrown in Nasser's revolution of 1952. When he became
Egypt's king in 1936, at the tender age of 16, he was idolised by countrymen who looked upon him as their long-awaited Redeemer come to rid them of their poverty and their misrule. The
story also encompasses the growth of Egyptian nationalism and the beginnings of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Producer: Peter Batty Productions.

IL POVERELLO 
The Story of St Francis of Assisi
1 x 52'
This is an astonishing story: how a 12th century friar from a relatively unknown part of Europe, who during his life-time liked to be known as 'Il Poverello' - the little poor man - has reached
international and historic prominence 800 years later.
Shot mostly on location in Assisi, Rome, and Canterbury, the film provides an intriguing insight into the area of Italy and the
century from which Francis sprang. The annual Calendimaggio festival in Assisi furnishes a colourful opening and closing to the documentary.
Producer: Peter Batty Productions.
