Dinner for One (Dir. Heinz Dunkhause, 1963. Germany. 18 mins Cert U)
An older Lady is having a birthday again and has invited four guests: Sir Toby, Lord Pommeroy, Admiral von Schneider and Mr. Winterbotton. The only problem is that the four have passed away long ago, and so the butler has to step in and help drinking all the sherry, wine and champagne served with the birthday dinner.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Dir. Mike Newell, 2018 Cert 12A)
A witty and charming feel good film, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is based on an historical fictional novel set in 1946 in the aftermath of World War II. A writer forms an unexpected bond with the residents of Guernsey Island when she decides to write a book about their experiences during the war.

A correspondence begins between Juliet Ashton (Lily James) and members of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, with them sharing their experiences of Nazi-occupied Guernsey Island. When an idea for a book catches Juliet, she goes to visit the island, making life-long friends and taking life changing steps along the way. This book is told by way of letters, and as the reader, you become enchanted by the writers of them and the love Juliet comes to feel for each of the Islanders; Dawsey Adams (Michiel Huisman), Amelia Maugery (Dame Penelope Wilton), Isola Pribby (Katherine Parkinson), Eben Ramsey (Sir Tom Courtenay), Kit (Florence Keen), and Elizabeth McKenna (Jessica Brown Findlay).

All welcome! Bring something small to share at supper – sweet or savoury – mince pies, sausage rolls etc…
