Long Lost Comedy Classics is a collection of films from a golden age of British cinema, remembered for timeless stars and some unique movies that have stood the test of time. So why not take a trip down memory lane and see how cinema used to be?

Time Gentlemen Please (1952) (Dir. Lewis Gilbert): The PM is planning a celebration visit to the model village of Little Hayhoe. However, local lay-about Dan Dance refuses to work, so he's shipped off to the local almshouse where he awaits an uncertain, yet very funny future.

Miss Robin Hood (1952) (Dir. John Guillermin): A newspaper columnist conspires with an elderly fan to steal a secret whiskey formula from a wealthy distiller. However, it's not long before Scotland Yard is on the case!
