#31 Forgotten Silver (April Fool's episode)
Forgotten Silver (1995). Written and Directed by Costa Botes & Peter Jackson. Featuring Jeffrey Thomas, Peter Jackson, Costa Botes, Leonard Maltin, Sam Neill, Johnny Morris, John O’Shea.
Time for our annual April Fool celebration, a trip across the Tasman for a New Zealand film. This documentary begins with a simple call to Peter Jackson from his mum. What Sir Peter found in his neighbour’s shed would raise questions about what we thought we knew about history.

#30 Sidecar Racers
Sidecar Racers (1975). Written by Jon Cleary, directed by Earl Bellamy. Starring John Clayton, Ben Murphy, Wendy Hughes, John Meillon, Peter Gwynne and Peter Graves.
Two men who don't like each other share a dream. Well, they don't really share it. One's kind of along for the ride. Which make sense, because they're a pair of sidecar racers. They're also rivals for the love of a largely indifferent woman. The Podsploiteers, never the sportiest of folks, juggle the racing and the relationships, and Callum reviews Days of Thunder.
