Plot : From Corriepedia
Wally Hunt's house is being decorated, his wife is staying with her mother (a combination which Hunt finds unbearable) and Miss Foster, his secretary, finds that the hotels are fully booked. Leonard Swindley jumps to the conclusion that Hunt has been thrown out by his wife and, as a sort of apology to his boss, offers to put him up for the night. Hunt reluctantly accepts. Swindley's new flat is underneath the flight path to the airport which necessitates the wearing of earmuffs during the night however he tries to make his guest feel welcome with an elaborate meal of Steak Diane but the preparation goes wrong and the meat is burned to a crisp in an explosion of alcohol. Things then get worse when Swindley twice accidentally locks his boss onto the flat's communal balcony in the night and on both occasions Hunt has no recourse but to disturb Swindley's elderly neighbour Miss Pledge, who thinks most men are only after her for one thing. Hunt endures scars from these encounters when Miss Pledge tells Swindley that she has an intruder - the first time Swindley attacks him and the second time a thrust from Miss Pledge's mop sends Hunt over the balcony and onto some greenhouses below. At 4.00am, Hunt gives up and goes back to spend the night in his office at Dobson and Hawks, only for the bed that Swindley makes up for him to collapse underneath him...

Plot (from Corriepedia)
Jacob Elijah Burgess, known to all as "Jeb", is in a police station cell with Leonard Swindley, the two arrested for being drunk and disorderly. Wally Hunt arrives from a golf club dinner to post bail but wants to hear the story of how his straight-laced assistant manager arrived in such a position...

The story begins the previous Thursday when Jeb arrived at Dobson and Hawks to see his old friend. Jeb is on the uppers for once, having become friends and engaged to a fairly well-off widow and invites Swindley round to see her. What he hasn't told Swindley is that Vera Bradshaw will only marry Jeb if he can find a husband for her spinster daughter. Jeb has proposed Swindley, telling the two women tall tales of his service in the Arctic Conoys and the RAF in the Second World War. Swindley is horrified to realise the predicament that his friend has placed him in and Jeb tells him he can't back out as he will be sued by Agnes for Breach of Promise but the lay-preacher is too honest to continue and tells the women the truth. Furious they throw the two men out, even making Jeb give back the handmade woollen suit he is wearing which belonged to Vera's late husband. Later, Jeb and Swindley sit in a cold bus stop in the cold night air. Jeb forces a large drink of Rum from a bottle he pinched from the Bradshaw's down Swindley's throat and then turns his kindly attentions to a cold woman who has just joined them, offering her his overcoat - underneath which he is clad only in his underwear to the woman's horror...

Having told Hunt the story of who the Police arrived and arrested them, Swindley begs his boss to get them out, unable to stand a night in the cells. Hunt however has not bought his wallet for the bail and he wishes the two men a good night as he leaves.

He orders Swindley to obtain two models for the clothes - by which he means plastic dummies - but Swindley assumes he means catwalk models and the willing porter of the hotel, used to helping with such requests, gives him the telephone number of a callgirl agency in Mayfair. Two girls, Dawn and Samantha, are sent along to Swindley and Hunt's hotel rooms. Things look bad but get even worse when Mrs Hunt turns up, concerned for the stress that her husband will be suffering over the trade fair. Hunt passes off the girls are Swindley's affair and the little man, somewhat out of pocket, is beleaguered by the girls for their fees...

Plot (From Corriepedia):
Leonard Swindley keeps the entire store up all night doing the annual stocktaking. The next day he visits the travel agents to book the tickets for Mr. Hunt's annual vacation in Spain and then almost causes Mr. Hunt to crash his car when he steps into the road in front of him. His boss is not in a good mood as a result and even less so when Swindley appears to have lost the stocktaking results which he took home to collate and which Sir Charles Dobson is eagerly awaiting on the other end of the phone. Swindley goes back over in his own mind where he could have left them and realises that they may have been put out with the rubbish but a visit to the local tip results in him being covered in the latest delivery of household waste and in the binmen threatening a strike when they suspect him of being a council snooper. Hunt forces Swindley to ring Head Office in London and confess to the result when, at the last minute, the travel agents turn up at the store with the stocktake which he left at their shop. All would seem well but there is another more alarming puzzle - what has Swindley done with Hunt's holiday tickets...?

Plot (From Corriepedia)
Walter Hunt is visited by Chairman Brigadier Hawk who drops hints to Hunt as to the reason why he has not been invited to the next manager's meeting. Knowing from past experiences of his colleagues that this is a prelude to being fired, he writes an abusive resignation letter to Hawk letting him know in no uncertain terms what he thinks of him, Sir Charles Dobson and the firm itself. He is then shocked to hear from Miss Cavendish, Hawk's domineering secretary that the reason he has not been invited to the meeting is so that his colleagues can discuss what to get him to mark his twenty-five years with the firm. The problem is that Leonard Swindley has already taken the letter to be posted. Stopped in their attempts to retrieve the letter from a postbox by a passing policeman, Hunt and Swindley travel down overnight to London and attempt to get the letter from Hawk's desk before he arrives for work. Thinking they have the letter, Swindley rips it up and deposits the remains in a flowerpot, only to find that the real letter is still in his own pocket (and was never actually posted) and that the missive that he has destroyed is a cheque for the chairman for over four thousand pounds...

Plot (From Corriepedia)
Brigadier Hawk, the Chairman of Dobson and Hawks, gives orders for a big economy drive. Leonard Swindley, Assistant Manager, throws himself into the task, switching off the heating (even though it's January) and closing some of the staff amenities such as the rest area. However when certain of his instructions are ignored he takes drastic action and pulls some of the fuses out of the switch box to force the issue, but one of the fuses is the wrong one and it stops the lift - trapping the Brigadier on his six-monthly tour of inspection inside it together with a livid Wally Hunt for several hours. The situation seemingly restored to normal, Swindley fetches the chairman a coffee but a problem with the new automatic vending machine results in him being doused in tomato soup. After a disastrous day, Swindley leaves the store for the night and pulls the main electricity switch to conserve energy, not knowing that he has again trapped Hawk and Hunt inside the lift, this time for the night...

He finally traces the coat to one of the store's assistants, Miss Huxley, but unfortunately for Swindley she has a very large jealous husband who misunderstands what Swindley is after. After the encounter Swindley finds he has no permanent injury, just a lot of bruises. At the least the coat has been returned but Swindley's troubles are not over as Hunt discovers that his raincoat, left to dry on a storeroom radiator, has also been sold in the sale...

Plot: (From Corriepedia )
This IQ of the Dobson and Hawks' salesgirls leaves much to be desired. And the girls are just not interested in Mr Swindley's proposition of night school current affairs. But Swindley finds the answer - catch them before they leave school. Swindley tries to induce the Brookfield High School girls to join Dobson and Hawks when he attends their careers day (or "slave auction" as Headmistress Miss Buxton refers to it) but the attractions of the store cannot compete with the multinational companies also in attendance and Swindley only manages to bag one recruit - a bright girl called Mary. This however is one more than expected so Mr Parbold is well pleased with the result.

Wikipedia:
"Quatermass 2 (retitled Enemy From Space in the United States and Canada) is a 1957 black-and-white British science fiction horror film drama from Hammer Film Productions. It was originally released in the UK as Quatermass II and was produced by Anthony Hinds, directed by Val Guest, and stars Brian Donlevy with co-stars John Longden, Sidney James, Bryan Forbes, Vera Day, and William Franklyn. Quatermass 2 is a sequel to Hammer's earlier film The Quatermass Xperiment (1955). Like its predecessor, it is based on the BBC Television serial Quatermass II written by Nigel Kneale. Brian Donlevy reprises his role as the eponymous Professor Bernard Quatermass, making him the only actor to play the character twice in a film. It is often erroneously considered as the first film sequel to use the '2' / 'II' suffix within the title, though this distinction belongs to Sanshiro Sugata Part II.

The film's story concerns Quatermass's investigation of reports of hundreds of meteorites landing only in the Winnerden Flats area of the UK. His inquiries lead him to a huge industrial complex, strikingly similar to his own plans for a Moon colony. This top-secret facility is in fact the centre of a conspiracy involving the alien infiltration of the highest echelons of the British Government. Quatermass and his allies must now do whatever is necessary to defeat the alien threat before it is too late."

From Wikipedia:

The Quatermass Xperiment (a.k.a. The Creeping Unknown in the United States) is a 1955 British science fiction horror film from Hammer Film Productions, based on the 1953 BBC Television serial The Quatermass Experiment written by Nigel Kneale. The film was produced by Anthony Hinds, directed by Val Guest, and stars Brian Donlevy as the eponymous Professor Bernard Quatermass and Richard Wordsworth as the tormented Carroon. Jack Warner, David King-Wood, and Margia Dean appear in co-starring roles.

The film concerns three astronauts who have been launched into space aboard a single-stage-to-orbit rocket designed by Professor Quatermass. It crashlands with only one of its original crew, Victor Carroon (Richard Wordsworth), still aboard. He begins mutating into an alien organism, which, if it spawns, will engulf the Earth and destroy humanity. After Carroon escapes from custody Quatermass and Inspector Lomax (Jack Warner) of Scotland Yard have just hours to track him/it down and prevent a catastrophe.

Like its source TV serial, the film was a major success in the UK. It also brought public attention to Hammer Film Productions around the world. The film was released in the United States in a double feature with The Black Sleep.[3]
