British Classics and Familiar Faces
There’s nothing quite like a classic British film to settle down with. This May, we’ve got a cracking line-up of heartwarming, family-friendly favourites you’ll recognise and love.
Black Beauty (1971) brings the much-loved story of a brave horse and a determined young boy to life, with Oliver! star Mark Lester in the saddle.
In Black Jack (1979), director Ken Loach swaps gritty dramas for a lively adventure about a rogue highwayman and two kids on the run.
Futtock’s End (1970) shows off Ronnie Barker’s genius for comedy, with a wordless, wonderfully daft story set at a country estate.
In The Stick Up (1977), romance and robbery collide in 1930s England when an American thief falls for an Irishwoman.
And if you fancy a bit of suspense, Die Screaming Marianne (1971) stars Susan George in a twisty, edge-of-your-seat thriller.
Cheeky Retro: Saucy Laughs and 70s Mischief (Post-Watershed)
Feeling a bit cheeky? Once the sun goes down, Together TV’s bringing you a proper helping of late-night mischief with our post-watershed retro collection.

Permissive (1970) follows a young country girl as she falls headfirst into London’s wild rock 'n' roll scene.
Groupie Girl (1970) shows the highs and heartbreaks of life on the road with a band.

And in Sex With The Stars (1981), a shy astrologer is given the challenge of dating his way through the zodiac signs.
Horror and Thrillers: For the Brave Ones
If you like your telly with a bit more bite, we’ve got a few darker treats lined up too.
Die Screaming Marianne (1971) is packed full of secrets, betrayal and family drama, with Susan George giving a standout performance.
