Leon The Pig Farmer

Hilarious low-budget British movie, gently poking fun at Jewish-gentile stereotypes. A Jewish man finds his real father is a Yorkshire pig farmer and going up to visit, discovers his new family have gone all-out Jewish in order to make him feel at home. Won the 1992 International Critic's prize in Venice.

Orde Wingate

Three part television series from 1976 about Orde Wingate, a British general in the Second World War. He played a major role in the campaigns fought in the Far East, where he helped revolutionise jungle warfare. In 1940-1941 he was based near the Ethiopian-Sudanese border where he led a guerrilla force, the 'Gideon's Force' against the Italian Army. Later in 1942 he was sent to Burma. Here he formed his 'Wingate's Raiders', the Chindits and proceeded to operate along the Irrawaddy River where they disrupted the Japanese supply lines and gathered and sent back information to the RAF.

Carry On Regardless

The owner of a temporary staff agency finds himself faced with more odd jobs - and odd employees - than he can handle. The laughs come thick and fast in the rudest of them all - who but Charles Hawtrey could mistake a strip club for an aviary and ask to see some Blue Tits?
