- A hypnotherapist is caught up in the pursuit of a serial killer.
- The film concerns an elderly couple played by Rosamund Greenwood and Roy Evans, who we later discover to be brother and sister, who accidentally run over and kill a young cyclist played by David Pugh on a lonely northern moor - but instead of reporting the incident to the police the woman decides to take the corpse home with them. There she dresses him in the clothes of a second brother, killed in the Second World War, shows him her photo-albums, and tries to engage him in conversation. Her brother, meanwhile, gathers wood to build a coffin. Greenwood has the only speaking part in the movie and largely carries it; she gives a subtle, heart-rending performance as a sister clinging to her past. Memories of the War hang heavily over the house - quite literally in the form of an aircraft propeller suspended from the ceiling that the woman booby-traps in order to prevent her brother burying the corpse.

- 'The Adventures of John and John' is the story of two down at heel friends, killing time, bickering, playing games and hoping to become rich and famous using a brain reading machine. The characters are both about three inches high, have wire armatures and have a limited range of expressions. The flaws in their construction reflect and amplify the flaws in their characters and the comic hopelessness of their situation. The characters developed from working with John Hegley,a performance poet, on animating a surreal sketch John had performed with Simon Munnery, where one person thinks of a breed of dog and the other person has to guess which one he's thinking of. This dialogue became the starting point for the script. The 'Brain Reading Machine' gave the opportunity to improvise and combine different animation techniques, as they attempt to 'produce a dazzling array of cartoons, exciting-police-dramas-like-on-the-TV, and a 'Proper Music Video'.

- A documentary about mental health care in Victorian Britain detailing treatments such as clitoridectomy and genital massage. Not for the fainthearted. At a time when masturbation was thought to be seriously damaging to the health, patients diagnosed with hysteria were subjected to a brutal and physical 'cure' for the mental condition which produced symptoms such as fits or paroxysms. Several years later medical opinion changed, resulting in a more holistic and therapeutic form of treatment. Using cut-out and sand animation this film packs a curious chunk of medical history into a very small film.
