1:05:56 – This time we journey into the murky world of 1980s direct-to-video releases, the last resort of Britain’s beleaguered exploitation film industry. Taking in sex crazed killer computers, video nasty inspired psycho-killers and brutal gang warfare in Manchester’s clubland, we explore the careers of three of the UK’s most prolific, yet least known, film makers. From down-on-his-luck old pro Derek Ford via low budget maestro Michael J Murphy, the Express winds its way to the lost movie making empire of the legendary Cliff Twemlow.

47:09 – This time the Schlock Express travels deep into the heart of B Movie Britain, where we meet The Projected Man, find out if The Earth Dies Screaming and have a close encounter with The Terrornauts as they abduct a ‘Carry On’ star. Along the way we’ll meet some of Britain’s top schlock producers, Hammer’s fallen idol in exile Terence Fisher and his excursions into B Movie Britain and pass through Merton Park studios, spiritual home of British Schlock.
