Comedy Smörgåsbord - Disc 7

Comedy Smörgåsbord - Disc 7 starts off with Goggle Eyes, a 4-part BBC mini-series based on the book by Anne Fine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goggle-Eyes
Although she is not credited on the IMDB page, those who enjoy the work of Thora Hird will see in her Part 1. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0143277/

Heavy Weather is the BBC / WGBH-Boston TV adaptation of the P.G. Wodehouse novel broadcast Christmas Eve 1995 in the UK and in 1996 on PBS Materpiece Theatre. Peter O'Toole and Richard Briers lead an excellent cast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Weather_%28TV%29

The Bogie Man was a BBC film with Robbie Coltrane and Craig Ferguson. This is kind of grainy, but I believe it was broadcast only once so it's lucky it survives in any condition.  

The Great Kandinsky was a film produced for the BBC and WGBH-Boston for Masterpiece Theatre.
