Here we are again in the beautiful Yorkshire village of Holmfirth, where it's time to catch up with our three mischievous, merry men. With Clegg drinking far too much homebrew for his own good, some are indeed more merry than others.

Foggy, on the other had, isn't full of beer, but brilliant new ideas, such as amazing new bicycle safety-underwear, and a rather treacherous three-man sail-board. Neither is life without incident for Compo, as he discovers Mora Batty's penchant for a man in riding-gear, he launches himself as a one-man band, and test-drives the most unlikely mode of transport - a giant wheel. Only in Holmfirth!

Back at full strength with Abby, Connor, Lester, Jess and Matt on board - the ARC team must race against time once again in its fight to save the public from the terrifying creatures appearing through the anomalies.

The members encounter vicious burrowing creatures, enormous underwater predators, a raptor on the rampage in Victorian London; a Tyrannosaurus Rex prowling the streets and a mass of ferocious future-beetles laying siege to the ARC Headquarters. But even as the team faces its most formidable challenges yet, it may have more to fear from inside the organisation. Can any of them they trust the new lab assistant April?

As the lazy summer days drift endlessly on in the peaceful Yorkshire countryside, we see our old friend Foggy return to the Holmfirth fold, bringing with him a whole host of brand-new, hair-brained ideas. But it won't be long before he discovers that much is still the same hereabouts.

In fact he need only look at Compo - the village's oldest teenager - as he bravely stands in for Captain Zero, the human cannonball, enthusiastically takes up pole-vaulting to help Nora Batty hang out her washing, and knocks the socks off a local TV reporter with his legendary Maurice Chevalier impression. In Holmfirth, it was ever thus...

Two classic films, Tarzan the Fearless and Tarzan and the Trappers, both on one DVD. Starring Buster Crabbe and Gordon Scott as the Lord of the Jungle.
Tarzan The Fearless

Based on a story by Edgar Rice Burroughs, 'Tarzan The Fearless' features 1932 gold medal swimmer Larry 'Buster' Crabbe as the lord of the jungle. Producer Sol Lesser strung together four episodes of a 12-part serial and released them as a full length movie to rival Johnny Weissmuler's Tarzan. In this saga, Tarzan rescues a scientist (E.Alyn Warren) and his daughter (Jacqueline Wells) from the dangers of the wild while avoiding a bounty hunter that wants to civilize the ape-man. After his portrayal of Tarzan, Crabbe went on to play several other famous characters: Billy the Kid, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.
Tarzan And The Trappers
Gordon Scott in one of Sol Lesser's Tarzan Productions that was originally intended as three episodes of a television series. In this jungle adventure, the uncivilized man must take on an expedition of evil hunters who are searching for a lost, beautiful city. The traders are collecting animals illegally for a zoo, with Tarzan being the most sought after beast. Discovered while working as a lifeguard in Las Vegas, Scott earned the lead role of Tarzan six times, marking a rebirth of the character. He later went on to star in numerous Italian strong-man spectaculars and spaghetti westerns, becoming a sensation in Europe.

At the rough Worrell Street School in London's East End, the pupils are kept in line by the harsh discipline of the staff and the occasional savage beating.

An idealistic young schoolteacher (Max Bygraves) takes up his first post since leaving the navy and resists the authoritarian rule of his fellow tutor Gregory (Geoffrey Keen) and the headmaster Jenkins (Donald Pleasence). By playing on the youngsters' interests he tries to teach his unruly students the joy of learning and win their trust. At first he enjoys success with the wayward but bright Harkness (Richard O'Sullivan); but after a prank at Gregory's expense causes a riot amongst the pupils, Saunders clashes with the entrenched regime. The friction at Worrel Street leaves the headmaster with no choice but to support either the bullying practices of his staff, or the unproven ideas of the na'ive newcomer.
