Network know how to re-package old films and TV series. They've made a splendid job of The League Of Gentleman. I've watched the film but not seen it with the commentary of Hubby and Wife Bryan Forbes and Nanette Newman. Something to look forward to. I wonder why the Film Trailer included here isn't as good quality as the main film? As it looks like I'm watching it on my 16mm projector. But don't let that put you off buying this film folks. The main film is absolutely stunning and if an actors phrases will ever stay with me it is Nigel Patrick with "Sorry ole Darling"

British cinema at its best, with the superb Jack Hawkins as the leader of a bunch of disgruntled ex-army specialists. Colonel Hyde (Hawkins) assembles his 'Dirty Eight' (pre-dating the concept of the Dirty Dozen by six years or so) for a bank heist in 1960 London. There are some great location shots of London for you nostalgia buffs and a winning cast, which includes the much underated Nigel Patrick at his urbane best and good old Dickie Attenborough. Based on the books by John Boland, Brian Forbes's screenplay is amusing, but has some excellent moments of poignancy particularly with Terence Alexander's character. This is British cinema all the way and they weren't even forced to take a down on his luck American actor to boost sales in the US!
