Comedy western about mistaken identity in a small mining town. It has a number of cast in common with the film Suppprt your local sherif which is a bit distracting.

Recorded live in the US this is the musical Grease set in a 1950s highschool following 2 groups the cool guys in the T Birds and the book girls in pink ladies in their final year.
It is a very ambitious production but the live audience is a bit strange as they do not always fit in.

This documentary apparently examines teenage portrayal in movies; I found it dull and gave up after about 20 minutes.

John May is a lonely dedicated council employee whose role is to make funeral arrangements for those who die alone. He tries his best to find out a bit about each person so they are each given a rescectable send off. He is told he is no longer needed as the work is being merged with another area, but he can finish off his final case which he does, but who will arrange for his funeral when the time comes?
