História
John Boulting (full name John Edward Boulting) and his twin brother Roy Boulting (full name Roy Alfred Clarence Boulting), were two very important persons in the British film industry from the 1940s and well into the 1970s. They worked very closely together with a joint production company, Charter Film Productions, which they set up in 1937, taking turn directing and producing their films. In 1955 they were both also appointed directors of the newly formed British Lion Films, after Alexander Korda's company with the same name had gone into receivership, and they managed to make it into a very successful independent distribution company, standing up against the enormous Rank Organisation and the big Hollywood studios, which moved into the British film distribution market after World War II.

Rogues Jelly Knight, Scapa Flood, and Lennie the Dip leave prison expecting boss The Duke to have their stash ready to share out. Instead, Duke's girl Sara gives them the news Duke is dead and the money gone on nursing care. They soon discover that Duke is actually running Hope Springs Nature Clinic with the help of most of the local villains. Very strange - and the nearby army camp and Sara's encouragement of Lieutenant Vine would seem to be no coincidence either. Written by Jeremy Perkins

Um capelão da prisão ingênuo, porém caridoso, que por acaso tem o mesmo sobrenome de um clérigo de classe alta, é por engano indicado como vigário de uma pequena e próspera cidade rural. Sua crença na caridade e no perdão o coloca em desacordo com os moradores locais conservadores e tacanhos, e ele logo cria ações sociais nomeando um lixeiro negro como seu sacristão da igreja, recebendo uma família cigana, e persuadindo o dono da terra local a fornecer comida de graça para a igreja distribuir gratuitamente na cidade. Quando os líderes da congregação percebem o erro e pedem para a Igreja da Inglaterra removê-lo, isso acaba sendo uma questão muito, muito difícil - até que um clérigo se lembra que um projeto britânico para enviar um homem ao espaço está precisando de um astronauta. (e 12 - Estimado 12 Anos)

David Charleston, once a world renowned journalist, now lives alone maintaining the Thunder Rock lighthouse in Lake Michigan. He doesn't cash his paychecks and has no contact other than the monthly inspector's visit. When alone, he imagines conversations with those who died when a 19th century packet ship with some 60 passengers sank. He imagines their lives, their problems, their fears and their hopes. In one of these conversations, he recalls his own efforts in the 1930s when he desperately tried to convince first his editors, and later the public, of the dangers of fascism and the inevitability of war. Few would listen. One of the passengers, a spinster, tells her story of seeking independence from a world dominated by men. There's also the case of a doctor who is banished for using unacceptable methods. David has given up on life, but the imaginary passengers give him hope for the future.
