The Gingerbread House
Vicar
A 10-year-old girl and her 6-year-old brother are dumped by their abusive mother and her boyfriend to spend a few days at the rambling country house of their grandfather, who has been estranged from the family for the past ten years. The girl discovers the old mans corpse in his room, and, fearing that they might be blamed for killing him, devises a cover-up plan, which is almost foiled by a local boy.
Willie's War
Uncle Wallace

The Higher Mortals
Mr. Sefton
This movie deals with the problems suffered by many smaller girls' boarding schools during the early 1990s recession, and makes use of metaphor and analogy in its critique of the John Major government of the day.
The Likely Lads
Cyril
With the destruction of their previous neighbourhood has inevitably come the destruction of the lads’ favoured watering hole The Fat Ox. Again, it’s Bob rather than Terry who is visibly distressed by this. Upset and much the worse for free alcohol, Bob then storms into the library to seek sympathy from Thelma - who is, predictably, unimpressed. So when Thelma finds out that Terry has been getting semi-serious with glamorous Finnish shop assistant Chris, she takes it upon herself to try and pair them off for good via planning first a dinner party and then that mainstay of 70s comedy, a camping expedition. Of course, things don’t go quite according to plan and before you can say ‘I can see the way this is going’ we are set up for japes, larks and embarrassing incidents aplenty, which culminate in the lads getting rather fed up with their partners’ attempts to inflict the rugged outdoor lifestyle upon them and trying to hitch up and drive off with the girls still asleep in the caravan.
All the Right Noises
Terry
A married man with two small children begins an affair with a beautiful young actress which quickly blossoms into a full blown romance, until she tells him that she is only 15 years old…
