drafty old house but it is filled with love. Every night, the last thing Charlie sees from his window is the great
factory, and he drifts off to dreaming about what might be inside. For nearly 15 years, no one has seen a single
worker going in or coming out of the factory, or caught a glimpse of Willy Wonka himself, yet, mysteriously, great

premises. Now calling himself Sweeney Todd, Barker kills off all his customers with a razor to the throat and sends
their cadavers to the shop below to be used as a tasty new filling for Mrs Lovett's meat pies. What was once the worst
pie shop in London quickly becomes one of the city's most popular eateries, but Barker won't be satisfied until he can
lure Judge Turpin into the barber's chair... Finally, 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' (1985) follows man-child Pee-wee Herman
