The discussion is centred around 4 British films originally released between the mid-60's and early 70's. The Beatles own 'A Hard Day's Night'. Two vehicles for 70's heartthrob David Essex 'That'll Be The Day' staring Ringo and 'Stardust'. Plus the now cult classic 'Slade In Flame'. Welcome to episode 43 of Fixing A Hole.
