Sidecar Racers (1975). Written by Jon Cleary, directed by Earl Bellamy. Starring John Clayton, Ben Murphy, Wendy Hughes, John Meillon, Peter Gwynne and Peter Graves. Two men who don't like each other share a dream. Well, they don't really share it. One's kind of along for the ride. Which make sense, because they're a pair of sidecar racers. They're also rivals for the love of a largely indifferent woman. The Podsploiteers, never the sportiest of folks, juggle the racing and the relationships, and Callum reviews Days of Thunder.

THE SUMMER OF ALVIN BEGINS! There’s a good chance that if you ask Jay Public to name an Ozploitation picture, they’ll pick this sex comedy. Or they may remember scenes of Graham Blundell in his top hat, or running away from dozens of women. We were always going to come to these sooner or later, and this summer, we’re bringing you our look at the three - Yes, there were three! - films about Alvin and his antics.
