By the end of the 1970s, punk in Britain was splintering into several distinct strains, most of them quite 'arts'. Oi! music was an attempt to keep punk a populist, street-level phenomenon, and most of it came from the working class of South London and the cockney East End. Taking its name from the Cockney Rejects song Oi! Oi! Oi! (before which it was simply known as street-punk), Oi! was loud, brutal, and extremely simple. In essence, it was punk rock that was most at home in a rowdy pub (similar to hardcore but not quite as extreme). The Oi! movement was marked by strenuously collectivist politics and chanted, football-cheer choruses. This is a celebration of the Oi scene, featuring both live performance and interview footage from some of the main players in the genre including Peter And The Test Tube Babies, Sham 69, The Toy Dolls and The Exploited.

Disney's 27th animated classic full of adventure and toe-tapping tunes from the music of Billy Joel Bette Midler and Huey Lewis. An adorable orphaned kitten, Oliver, is looking for friendship on the streets of New York. He falls in with a pack of pickpocket pooches run by their human master, Fagin When a lonely little rich girl who has adopted Oliver, is kidnapped, the action begins...
David Lean creates a memorable version of this tale about the little orphan boy who finally finds a home and family through the kindness of an elderly gentleman. Here are some of Dickens' most memorable characters - the oily Fagin, brutal Bill Sykes, gentle, doomed Nancy and the slippery Artful Dodger. Brilliantly realised, it is a triumph of cinematography.
When Oliver runs away from the cruel workhouse he is taken in by the Artful Dodger and Fagin and finds himself embroiled in a life of crime. Oliver is continually searching for happiness and although he is befriended by the kind-hearted Nancy, Bill Sykes casts a very threatening figure. Charles Dickens excellent tale of the triumph of good over evil.
Disney's version of the Charles Dickens classic set in 19th century England. The young orphan, Oliver, goes from the brutal bullying of the workhouse, to Fagin's den of thieves, and finally, through the kindness of an old gentleman, to the safety and love of a home and family he never dreamed could be his.
A re-working of Charles Dickens's classic story of a young orphan boy who gets involved with a gang of boy pickpockets in 19th Century London. Polanski and scriptwriter Ronald Harwood have retained the characterisations and humour from the original novel, along with the essential story of good against evil. Fantasy elements have been woven into the story, emphasising the characters' eccentricities. With Sir Ben Kingsley as Fagin, a host of talented British character actors have been cast to play some of literature's best known characters: Jamie Foreman is Bill Sykes, Leanne Rowe is Nancy, Barney Clark is Oliver and Harry Eden plays the Artful Dodger.
Alan Bleasdale (Boys from the Black Stuff, GBH and Jake's Progress) presents a new view and insight into the timeless tale of the boy who wanted more. Inspired by Charles Dickens' original text, he begins the story - often overlooked by other adaptations - with the chain of events which lead to Oliver Twist's anonymous birth in the Parish Workshouse. Follow the twists and turns of Oliver's colourful young life through to the fairy tale ending of a journey often beset with obstacles. The result is a wonderful drama filled with dark comedy, astonishing vivacity and soaring imagination. This TV adaptation stars Robert Lindsay (Fagin), Sam Smith (Oliver Twist), Julie Walters (Mrs Mann) and Keira Knightly (Rose Flemming).
Oliver Twist/ Great Expectations
Two films. Oliver Twist - David Lean creates a memorable version of this tale about the little orphan boy who finally finds a home and family through the kindness of an elderly gentleman. Here are some of Dickens' most memorable characters - the oily Fagin, brutal Bill Sykes, gentle, doomed Nancy and the slippery Artful Dodger. Brilliantly realised, it is a triumph of cinematography. Great Expectations - When young Pip befriends an escaped convict on the Essex Marshes, he little knows that the onsequences of his kindness will be both the fulfilment and the ultimate destruction of his dreams. One of David Lean's earliest triumphs, filled with Dickens' unforgettable characters like Miss Havisham, Estella and Magwitch, which won 2 Oscars and 3 nominations.
Dickens' beloved story of the little orphan who falls in with Fagin's den of thieves and learns to 'pick a pocket or two' before finding a home and family becomes a joyful Oscar-winning musical bursting with Lionel Bart's original songs including 'Food Glorious Food', 'Consider Yourself' and 'As Long as He Needs Me'.
Reprising his role as Oliver Barrett, Ryan O' Neal returns in the sequel to box-office smash-hit 'Love Story', in a tale with Oliver trying to re-build his life after the death of his young wife. Co-starring Ray Milland (as Oliver Barrett III), and Candice Bergen as the beautiful and captivating Marcie, the film follows Oliver as he meets and falls in love with Marcie. However, no matter how hard Oliver tries to accommodate the absence of his dead wife, he is unable to develop any sort of serious bond with anyone else. His love-affair with Marcie merely serves as a reminder to what he no longer has, and the constant sense of pain and emptiness Oliver experiences sees him imprisoned behind an invisible wall of uncertainty and loneliness...
