Almost Crazy
by Graham Harper, Mel Dymond Harper and Mo Holkar
It's the Summer of Love, and one small town in northern England isn't going to miss out on the mellow peace vibe. Bassethwaite Music Festival is the cosmic event of the year, particularly for bands who didn't get invited to any of the decent festivals. We follow three such bands of idealistic struggling newcomers, as they chase the dream to become… Almost Crazy.
Crisis
by Carol Tierney, Andy Brown, Gary Tierney
According to all official records you don't exist. The team does not exist. The department that recruited you does not exist. The bunker you are stationed in does not exist. The threat you defend the world against does not exist. Unfortunately the alarms that began sounding fifteen minutes ago definitely do exist.

Hollywood Lives - The British Summer of Love 1968-69
by Kevin Jacklin and Reiner Knizia
The late sixties was a time of extraordinary upheaval in swinging Britain. The post-war baby boom led the way in bringing fresh ideas to politics, fashion, music and – yes – to cinema. So let’s celebrate all that’s great about flower-power, psychedelic Britain and bring to light again some of the classic (but alas no longer remembered) movies of the era.
In Hollywood Lives you get to become one of the movers and shakers in the movie business, and bring to life a number of film trailers. You also get to wheel and deal, and to vote in the Academy awards.

Whether you're an outlaw, the gunslinger or a high plains drifter it doesn't matter - all of the wild bunch are served in this joint.
Let Nothing You Display
by Graham Harper, Mel Dymond Harper and Mo Holkar
It's Christmas time in the small northern town of Bassethwaite, and this year promises to be a festive season to remember. The Bassetshire Museum is throwing open its doors for a seasonal sleepover, with young and old alike bringing along their sleeping-bags and pillows to spend the night in the museum's dusty galleries. Would you prefer to sleep under the skeleton of Bassetosaurus batrachia, or in the Egyptian mummy room? And, of course, we expect a visit from everyone's favourite cheerful bearded gentleman, bringing a whole new meaning to the concept of 'grotto'. Whether you've been naughty or nice – he'll have something for you in his sack. Find out what on Saturday afternoon!

The Quest for El Dorito
by Graham Harper, Mel Dymond Harper and Mo Holkar
Legends tell of the fabulously wealthy South American city of El Dorito, its streets paved with chips of gold. Many have sought riches and glory questing to find it – and perished in the attempt.

But can they set aside the quarrels and differences of the voyage, and of their pasts, to face the challenges of the quest together? As the old Spanish proverb says – those who can't hang together, will surely be massacred by justifiably peeved natives.
