| 1. | DELIVERING THE NEWS Philip Marshman A documentary telling about the process of getting newspapers from the distributors to your front door. A 'local' newsagent talks to camera and we see the boys and girls going out on their bikes. |

| 2. | LIFEBOAT Bruce Dawes Filmed at the Royal National Lifeboat Collection at Chatham, this movie deals with the history and restoration of several types of lifeboats from across the years. There is also an informative and clearly spoken commentary. One interesting point which arose (from among many) was how the self-righting boat was developed. |

| 3. | THE STAFF ROOM AT TIFFIN SCHOOL Daniel Greenway ( for Alfred Road Productions) A number of teachers at the school talk about both their careers and their hobbies; also about how things have changed in their profession since they first started. Instead of an off-camera voice, the questions are drawn (and rubbed off) in chalk on a blackboard - a nice touch! |

| 4. | LAKES & MOUNTAINS John Davies An interesting and visually attractive movie about the items of the title, taken on holiday in the Alps. The commentary is nicely delivered in an informal style by Melanie Davies. |

| 5. | PLANETS Bristol Film & Video Society A brilliant comedy in which Geoff Salter does a lovely impression of a young Patrick Moore telling us all about the various planets, their sizes and their distances from the Earth. Nicely photographed and edited, and with good computer effects. Directed by Graham Eggar. |

| 6. | BROOK MEADOW Michael Camps A most attractive-looking movie showing the various times of the year at the location of the title - in Warwickshire. Also, a lot of the appeal is provided by the good, informative commentary, spoken in a most relaxed style as though speaking off the cuff (although it probably wasn't) by Rachel Christopher, but it's exactly what is required. |

| 7. | GLORIOUS DEVON Andrew Trevett Another attractive look at a local area - this time the county of the title. Included, among others, are Newton Abbot, Torquay and Brixham, which a lot of people have enjoyed on their Summer holidays over the years.
