Synopsis:

For over 30 years the Children's Film Foundation dedicated itself to producing quality entertainment for young audiences, employing the cream of British filmmaking talent. In this first volume of specially-curated DVD releases from the BFI, villains, gangsters and conmen are foiled by plucky London youngsters. Helmed by such celebrated directors as John Krish and Pat Jackson, the films in London Tales feature assured performances from an array of familiar faces, including a fresh-faced John Moulder-Brown (playing a schoolboy in trouble) and Bernard Cribbins (as a dastardly master-of-disguise). Newly transferred from the best-available elements held in the BFI Archive, these much-loved and fondly-remembered family films finally make their welcome return to the screen after many years out of distribution. Includes: The Salvage Gang (1958), Operation Third Form (1966) and Night Ferry (1976).

The Salvage Gang (1958)
In this children's movie, a group of ingenious kids endeavor to raise money to fix a broken saw. In one part, they sell an iron bed to a junk man and then learn that they must get it back.

Operation Third Form (1966)
In this children's film, a gang of boys try to prove that the innocence of a peer wrongly accused of stealing the school bell. They succeed and the real crooks are brought to justice.

Night Ferry (1976)
A group of London children thwart the plan of a gang of thieves to take a priceless mummy out of England on the night ferry to France.
