Other dramas featured in the set include: 'Hard Labour', 'The Permissive Society', 'The Kiss of Death', 'Who's Who', 'Grown-Ups', 'Home Sweet Home', 'Four Days in July' and 'Five-Minute Films', a collection of five short films - 'Afternoon', 'Birth of the Goalie', 'Old Chums', 'A Light Snack' and 'Probation' - each lasting five minutes.
