 The Avengers Forever: Talfryn Thomas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Buck-toothed, crazed-looking Welshman Talfryn Thomas was in many of the later episodes of Dad's Army (BBC, 1968-77) as a war correspondent called Private Cheeseman.

Thomas was then a regular in a children's sitcom, Tottering Towers (Thames, 1971-72), as an inept villain called Prayer-Book Perce.

Once the narration ends, the film breathes freely with a succession of lively vignettes, some funny, some dramatic, but all rooted in the peculiar circumstances of characters who either feel trapped by or ensconced in their home.
Under Milk Wood was meant to be a play for voices, written for radio and essentially an elongated poem which explores the Welsh way of life Thomas knew, the mid wars era, it originally explored the strange musicality and poetic nature of the language and speach of this small and mystical Country.

 Ronnie Barker in Seven of One - The Memorable TV DVD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Barker had tried this anthology format twice before with The Ronnie Barker Playhouse from 1968 and Six Dates With Barker in 1971 but its this collection that sees him at his best.
Writing some of the episodes himself (usually under the pen name Jack Goetz) and bringing in giants of the genre such as Roy Clarke and Clement and La Frenais as well co-acting talent of the calibre of the legendary Talfryn Thomas, David Jason and Sam Kelly, Barker is very much on form.
The first two episodes are Open All Hours with Barker's miserly shopkeeper Arkwright soon becoming a TV classic whilst the second is Prisoner and Escort starring a certain Norman Stanley Fletcher on his way to Slade prison, this episode would of course serve as the pilot for the legendary Porridge.
