A double dose of the doctor! Two classic Dr. Who adventures return in new 4K restorations. Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) were the first time the good Doctor was ever seen in colour and on the big screen. The films, directed by Gordon Flemyng, remain the doctor’s only cinematic outings and feature the legendary Peter Cushing as everyone’s favourite timelord alongside a supporting cast that includes Roy Castle, Bernard Cribbins, Jennie Linden and Roberta Tovey.

Carry On Up the Khyber
Captain Keene

But his troops fear the 'skirted-devils, who are rumoured not to wear any underwear.

Dr. Who and the Daleks

Sink the Bismarck!
Able Seaman - 'Prince of Wales' (uncredited)
The story of the breakout of the German battleship Bismarck—accompanied by the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen—during the early days of World War II. The Bismarck and her sister ship, Tirpitz, were the most powerful battleships in the European theater of World War II. The British Navy must find and destroy Bismarck before it can escape into the convoy lanes to inflict severe damage on the cargo shipping which was the lifeblood of the British Isles. With eight 15 inch guns, it was capable of destroying every ship in a convoy while remaining beyond the range of all Royal Navy warships.
