Here it is – the extremely rare, final volume of Network’s Saturday Morning Pictures series that consisted of double-bills of movies by the Children’s Film Foundation.
This volume is one of the best in the short-lived Saturday Morning Pictures series and features the usual combination of one black & white film, one colour film and a couple of bonus episodes of The Magnificient 6 1/2. The movies are Runaway Railway from 1965 and Junket 89 from 1970. Both movies, as what has always seemed to be the case in these releases, feature actors who have connections to Doctor Who!

Runaway Railway (1966)
Young railway enthusiasts repair a derelict locomotive and find themselves inadvertently involved in a mail train robbery.

Junket 89 (1970)
Junket always seems to be in trouble at school, but his troubles really begin when the absent minded science master allows him to borrow his experimental instant transportation machine to journey in a flash to some delectable spot.
