Children's Film Foundation: London Tales The Salvage Gang Operation Third Form Night Ferry Films by John Krish, David Eady For over 30 years the Children's Film Foundation produced quality entertainment for young audiences, employing the cream of British filmmaking talent. Unavailable for years, these much-loved films finally make a welcome return to our screens in newly remastered editions includes fully illustrated booklet with essays by Andrew Roberts and Vic Pratt. In The Salvage Gang (1958) four children try to raise money to replace a broken saw, taking them on an unexpected journey through the capital. Directed by the acclaimed John Krish (I Think They call Him John) this affectionate tour of bomb-damaged London features a young Frazer Hines and an appearance by Wilfrid Brambell. Operation Third Form (1966), featuring a fresh-faced John Moulder-Brown (Deep End) in a sparkling performance as the schoolboy out to foil a pair of north London crooks, is a pacey boy's own adventure complete with a groovy 1960s soundtrack. Night Ferry (1976) stars Bernard Cribbins as Pyramid, a dastardly master-of-disguise who plans to smuggle an ancient Egyptian mummy out of the country. When young Jeff (Graham Fletcher) discovers the plan, a dangerous chase via London's Victoria and Clapham stations ensues.
