Passport to Pimlico 7.40pm BBC4 HHHH

(Henry Cornelius, 1949) A mild and very English form of anarchy reigns in the London borough of Pimlico when it's found to be an independent fiefdom belonging to Burgundy, not subject to the same post-war privations as the rest of the country, and its residents barricade themselves away. One of Ealing Studios' most fanciful and loveable comedies (left).
