Abstract:
In a holocaustic future world, perpetually at war, where failure to conform is
the ultimate crime, Winston Smith (John Hurt) rewrites history books and
finds himself dreaming of escape from the all-seeing eyes of the Authorities.
He embarks on a passionate (and illegal) affair with a young woman
(Suzanna Hamilton) but they are soon caught and Smith undergoes a
nightmarish brainwashing at the hands of the chief inquisitor O'Brien
(Richard Burton).

Upbeat romcom about a woman who's always the bridesmaid, never the

putting others needs first and herself last, especially when it comes to
marriage. With 27 bridesmaid dresses in her cupboard, Jane is beginning to
see a pattern developing. Scuttling between receptions one evening, she's
spotted by a cynical local reporter (James Marsden) who sees her story as
the ideal vehicle to move up the career ladder. But when her younger sister,
Tess (Malin Akerman), makes moves on her boss, George (Edward Burns),
who she secretly adores, Jane finally realises it's time to grab her life by the
horns before it's too late.

Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) to lay down his arms and surrender. Rejecting the
proposal, the battle ensues, and the Spartans are only defeated by the
treachery of a local shepherd Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan), who shows the
Persians a secret route, enabling them to outflank their opponents.

Abstract:
Alfie (Michael Caine in his first starring role) is a streetwise womaniser in
swinging Sixties London. His conquests are numerous, from common-law
wife Gilda (Julia Foster) to frustrated housewife Lily (Vivien Merchant), but
the chirpy cockney's sexual antics catch up with him faster than he had
counted on. The film is now seen as a period piece of Sixties British Cinema
and to show the consequences of the sexual revolution that began in that
era (Alfie is not repentent about his harsh treatment of the women in his life
and so never quite finds fulfilment), was nominated for 6 Academy Awards
and has a soundtrack by jazz musician Sonny Rollins.

Naomi Murdock, played by Barbara Stanwyck, returns to the hometown she
deserted to follow her acting career, leaving a husband and daughter
behind. Now a successful star in her field, she accepts her daughter's
invitation to attend her school play (her ex-husband is the school head) but,
not having been back since leaving, it's a hard decision to make. She accepts
and, predictably, is the target of much small town ire and tattling as a result.
Things are further complicated by the emergence of a former lover.

Abstract:
Oscar-winning biopic, based on the play by Peter Shaffer, which tells the
story of the composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) and his
relationship to the man he later claims to have murdered, Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). Having already gained the confidence of the
Emperor, Salieri is frustrated by the arrival of the genius Mozart, a man who
quickly usurps his position in the court. His frustration is magnified by both
his disapproval of Mozart's vulgar behaviour and by the fact that it is he,
more so than anyone else, who can appreciate the true beauty of the young
composer's work. When Mozart dies under mysterious circumstances, can it
really be Salieri who is to blame?

Abstract:
In 1969 Jacob Bronowski was commisioned by David Attenborough, then
Controller of BBC2, to write and present this 13-part documentary series that
examines in great depth and with great erudition the intellectual and
technological history of the human race from prehistoric times to the present
day. Broadcast in 1973 and designed to complement Kenneth Clarke's earlier
BBC documentary series 'Civilisation', Bronowski concentrates on the
growing development of human science and technology, of the ways in
which humanity seeks to harness and dominate its environment, and the
ways in which scientific and intellectual theory across the ages, from Galileo
to Einstein, have broadened our horizons.

Abstract:
Joe Wright directs this adaptation of the novel by Ian McEwan starring Keira
Knightley and James McAvoy. On the hottest day of the summer of 1935,
thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) sees her older sister Cecilia
(Knightley) strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of
their country house. Watching Cecilia is their housekeeper's son Robbie
Turner (James McAvoy), a childhood friend who, along with Briony's sister,
has recently graduated from Cambridge. By the end of that day the lives of
all three have been changed forever. Robbie and Cecilia have crossed a
boundary they had never before dared to approach and have become
victims of the younger girl's scheming imagination - and Briony has
committed a dreadful crime, the guilt for which will colour her entire life.
Romola Garai and Vanessa Redgrave co-star as Briony as she grows older.

But when madcap housewife Kate (Cate Blanchett) joins the gang, both men
quickly fall in love with her, and their previously harmonious working
relationship suddenly turns sour. Directed by Barry Levinson.

embarks on an adventure which sees him serve in the Seven Years War,
earn a living as a professional gambler, and eventually move into the higher
ranks of society when he meets and marries the beautiful Lady Lyndon
(Marisa Berenson). However, despite the luck which has brought him such
riches, it is this final move, the cynical choice to marry for social
advancement rather than love, which brings about Barry's downfall.

Abstract:
Tim Burton's fantasy-drama is based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and
adapted for the screen by John August. A dying Edward Bloom (Albert
Finney as the old man and Ewan McGregor as the younger) has always had
a willing audience to hear the amazing tales from his travels around the
world in his younger years. His fantastical stories include giants, blizzards, a
witch and cojoined-twin lounge singers, and everyone he meets is always
happy to listen; that is until he meets Will (Billy Crudup), his estranged and
grown-up son. Will's mother, Sandra (Jessica Lange) is keen to reunite
father with son before Edward dies and Will attempts to piece together his
father's life and character through the stories he tells. Cynical, however, of
the tales his father tells, Will decides to search for the truth and goes off in
search of a mysterious woman (Helena Bonham-Carter) who may know the
answers.

Abstract:
Entire third series of the historic sitcom, which finds a Regency Edmund
Blackadder employed as butler to the Prince Regent (Hugh Laurie), who is
thicker than a whale omelette. In 'Dish and Dishonesty', Blackadder enters
the world of politics while his master teeters on the brink of bankrupcy. 'Ink
and Incapability' sees the rubber-faced one in a bit of a fix when his odorous
manservant Baldrick (Tony Robinson) burns the only existing copy of Doctor
Johnson's brand new dictionary. In 'Nob and Nobility', Edmund reluctantly
turns adventurer when he agrees to rescue a French aristo in return for a
huge wodge of cash. 'Sense and Senility' finds Edmund ousted from the
Prince's favour when the latter takes elocution lessons from a pair of overly
mannered thespians. In 'Amy and Amiability', the Prince finds true love and
Blackadder finds that the lif eof a highwayman is not all it is cracked up to
be. Finally, in 'Duel and Duality', the Prince puts hi sfoot in it when he soils a
couple of Wellingtons, and Blackadder is forced to take his place in a duel to
the death with a large-nosed Duke.

Sanderson, Brion James. BBFC code: 15. DVD.
Abstract:
The re-release of the cult classic 1980s sci-fi film with the director's original
ending. Among the other significant changes is the removal of the voice-over
narration, which was added after the film's original preview by studio
executives, and the 'Unicorn Dream' is restored. Otherwise the story remains
the same - a cop (Harrison Ford) is chasing down a group of lethal replicants
who have arrived on Earth, but he soon finds himself as desperate,
vulnerable and uncertain as the androids themselves.

Epic BBC adaptation of the Dickens classic, with a script by acclaimed writer

low life in Victorian London is explored to the full when young Richard
Carstone (Patrick Kennedy) and his cousin Ada (Carey Mulligan) are caught
up in the interminable legal case of Jarndyce vs Jarndyce. Drawn into a
world where the icy and composed Lady Dedlock (Anderson) hides a dark
secret, and where their lives will be affected by the attentions of their friend
Esther (Martin), their guardian Mr John Jarndyce (Lawson), and the
predatory attentions of various unscrupulous lawyers, boarding house
owners, and debt collectors, the two young cousins will each meet with very
different ends as the case approaches its long-delayed conclusion.

when he visits the site the following morning, the body has disappeared.
Michelangelo Antonioni's arty musing on the nature of film, set against a
Swinging London backdrop, also features Vanessa Redgrave as the dead
man's lover.

Abstract:
Box set containing the complete BBC natural history series examining life
beneath the world's oceans. 'The Blue Planet' presents an overview of the
programmes to come, offering a sense of the amazing variety and
complexity of the underwater kingdom. 'The Deep' explores the deepest
depths of the oceans and looks at the predators which live there. 'Open
Ocean' examines the stretches of deserted sea where very little life can be
found, except some of the most dangerous predators of all. In 'Frozen Seas'
life in the Arctic seas is compared with life in the Antarctic. 'Seasonal Seas'
looks at the way the sun effects the marine environment in the temperate
seas. 'Coral Seas' examines the way coral reefs are formed, the life which
flourishes among them, and the destruction which ultimately comes their
way. In 'Tidal Seas' the series examines tidal movements and their effect
upon marine life. And finally 'Coasts' looks at the way underwater life uses
the regions above the tide line, a habitat which holds few indigenous species
but plays host to many visitors. Also included are two special episodes:
'Making Waves', a look at some of the characters who helped bring the
series to the screen; and 'Deep Trouble', an investigation of man's relation to
the sea.

Abstract:
Derek Cianfrance writes and directs this unflinching portrayal of a onceloving relationship in freefall. When Cindy (Michelle Williams) and David
(Ryan Gosling) first met, they were passionately in love - but over their five
years as a couple they have grown apart. Boredom and disenchantment
come to the fore as they fumble their way through the sexless emotional
vacuum of their humdrum life in rural Pennsylvania; looking helplessly back
to the days when life still seemed filled with excitement and romance.

Abstract:
In 14th century Scotland, the English nobles are staking their claim for lands
and the Scottish throne. When William Wallace is left an orphan by the
brutality of the English, he vows to make Scotland strong again. Wallace
grows up into a paradox of a man - on the one hand very well educated, on
the other a ruthless killer and barbarian. As an adult he succeeds in uniting
the Scottish clans to fight the English oppressors, and is only undone by
betrayal and greed. Mel Gibson directs this multi-Oscar winning epic, and
also stars as folk hero Wallace.

Abstract:
The three Bronte sisters - Emily, Charlotte and Anne - were born and
brought up in the West Yorkshire town of Haworth. Their home, The
Parsonage, has now been turned into the Bronte Parsonage Museum and
this is where the tour of Bronte country begins; from the cobbled streets of
the town, the dramatic landscape that inspired 'Wuthering Heights' through
to the Bronte Falls and the Bronte Bridge.

Abstract:
New York, the 1920s. Intellectual playwright David Shayne (John Cusack) is
having trouble finding a backer for his latest project; that is, until he runs
into mobster Nicky Valenti (Joe Viterelli), who sees Shayne's play as the ideal
vehicle for his dizzy, shrill-voiced mistress Olive (Jennifer Tilly). As the
rehearsals begin, Shayne is further hampered by precious actresses and
hammy actors choking on their lines. Events take a more dangerous turn
when Olive's hired protector Cheech (Chazz Palminteri) starts contributing
his own lines to the play, and takes violent exception to their poor onstage
delivery. Dianne Wiest won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her
performance as a grand dame of theatre.

Abstract:
A British sergeant, a land girl and a United States Army officer arrive at a
Kent village on the same train. The newcomers are brought face to face with
the bizarre menace causing bewilderment in the tight-knit community:
someone is pouring glue onto the hair of girls who dare to venture out at
night with visiting servicemen. Powell and Pressburger offered this
'propaganda' piece as their contribution to the war effort, but the authorities
were unsure how its oddball tone would go down with the Allies.

Abstract:
Five directors and an all-star cast spoof the James Bond films in this comedy,
very loosely based on Ian Fleming's first Bond novel. Sir James Bond (David
Niven) is about to retire, but is called into battle with the evil organisation
S.M.E.R.S.H. after the assassination of 'M' (John Huston). Bond's bungling
nephew Jimmy (Woody Allen) becomes involved, and chaos ensues when
Bond calls in other 007s to assist (including Peter Sellers, Terence Cooper
and Ursula Andress, who starred in the first genuine Bond outing, 'Dr No').

Eight BBC television adaptations of the classic novels of Charles Dickens. In
'Martin Chuzzlewit' (1994), old Mr Chuzzlewit (Paul Scofield) is on his death
bed, and surrounded by his money-hungry family jostling for a position in his
will. In 'Oliver Twist' (1985), Ben Rodska plays the orphan who falls in with
the pickpocket Fagin (Eric Porter) and his band of thieving boys, as well as
crossing paths with the villainous Bill Sykes (Michael Attwell). In 'A Christmas
Carol' (1977), miserly Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Hordern) says humbug to
Christmas, before three ghosts show him his past, present and possible
future, if he doesn't mend his evil ways. In 'A Tale of Two Cities' (1980),
Paul Shelley plays Sydney Carton, in love with the beautiful but unheeding
Lucie (Sally Osborne), who loves Charles Darnay (also Shelley). When
Charles is caught up in the terrors of the French Revolution, Carton risks
everything to rescue the husband of the woman he loves. In 'Great
Expectations' (1999), Ioan Gruffudd plays orphan Pip, helped to become a
gentleman in society by a mysterious benefactor. Thinking that he is being
groomed by the reclusive and bitter Miss Havisham (Charlotte Rampling), Pip
is shocked to find that his benefactor is the vicious convict Magwitch
(Bernard Hill), who Pip helped escape from the Essex marshes when he was
a boy. In 'David Copperfield' (1999), the titular hero (played as a young boy
by Daniel Radcliffe) progresses through an uncertain life, helped along the
way by debtor Mr Micawber (Bob Hoskins) and his aunt Betsy (Maggie
Smith). By the time David grows up (played by Ciaran McMenamin), he
decides to make a better life for himself. In 'The Pickwick Papers' (1985),
Nigel Stock stars as the founder of the Pickwick Club, undergoing many
eccentric and chaotic adventures. Finally, in 'Our Mutual Friend' (1998), an
adaptation of Dickens' darkest book, a mysterious death by the banks of the
Thames links the lives of two young women, Lizzie Hexam (Keeley Hawes)
and Bella Wilfer (Anna Friel).

Made in 1969. Credits: presenter, Kenneth Clarke. Boxed. BBFC code: E.

Abstract:
Kenneth Clarke's eloquent and deeply personal documentary series exploring
the cultural heritage of the western world, from the collapse of the Roman
Empire until the birth of modernism, was groundbreaking television when
first broadcast by the BBC in 1969. With its use of exotic locations, and its
engaging presenter with his idiosyncratic style, it influenced much of what
was to follow. Progressing from the cultural effects of feudalism in medieval
Europe to the birth of the Renaissance in fifteenth-century Florence, from
revolutionary politics in France after 1789 to the growth of materialism in
artistic and scientific discourse, Clarke did not just examine 'art', but wanted
to reveal the spiritual and humanistic motives behind its creation. Includes
all 13 episodes.

Tristram Shandy'. Crossing the line between the world of the film and the life
of the actors trying to make it, Steve Coogan plays both himself and
Tristram Shandy, while Rob Brydon plays himself and Toby. As both
comedians find their working relationship off-set by professional jealousies,
in the world of the film, the affable, eccentric Toby is pursued by the
beautiful Widow Wadman (Gillian Anderson) as Tristram finds the story of
his life increasingly difficult to tell without getting drawn into lengthy
digressions.

Abstract:
Hard-hitting political thriller based on the novel by John Le Carre, and the
first English-speaking feature from director Fernando Meirelles. When
political activist Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz, in an Oscar-winning
performance) is found brutally murdered in Kenya, her widowed husband,
unassuming minor diplomat Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), becomes
increasingly belligerent in his attempt to solve the mystery of her death, to
the surprise of his British High Commission colleagues. Haunted by remorse
and by insidious rumours of his wife's infidelities, Quayle uses his access to
diplomatic secrets to unearth a vast and dangerous conspiracy about the
methods of big pharmaceutical companies and the exploitation of the Third

Abstract:
Surveillance expert Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) values his personal privacy
and anonymity above all else. When he and partner Stan (John Cazale) are
hired by a mysterious client known only as 'the director' (Robert Duvall) to
follow a young couple, Harry deduces that the woman, Mary, is the director's
wife, and the man an employee with whom she is conducting an affair. Harry
becomes convinced that the director intends to murder the pair and,
haunted by guilt from a previous assignment where the information he
provided resulted in loss of human life, sets out to prevent the killing
himself.

Abstract:
Lavish BBC costume drama based on three novels by Elizabeth Gaskell. The
series tells the story of the small absurdities and major tragedies in the lives
of the people of Cranford, as they are besieged by forces that they can't
withstand. Cranford in the 1840s is a small northern English town on the
cusp of change. Things are on the move. The railway is pushing its way
relentlessly towards the town from Manchester, bringing fears of migrant
workers and the breakdown of law and order, and the arrival of handsome
new doctor, Frank Harrison (Simon Woods), from London causes a stir; not
only because of his revolutionary medical methods, but also because of the
effect he has on many of the ladies' hearts in the town. Judi Dench plays
Miss Matty Jenkyns, whose hopes and rebellious spirit were crushed when,
as a young woman, she was forced to give up Mr Holbrook (Michael
Gambon), the man she loved.

Abstract:
In Salem, Massachusetts, 1692, accusations of witchcraft are rife. John
Proctor (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his wife Elizabeth (Joan Allen) are innocent
of any such charges, although John has committed adultery with their
former serving girl, Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder). When witch expert
John Hale is called in to investigate the reports of witchcraft, Abigail
attempts to implicate Elizabeth, thinking that she will then be able to resume
her affair with John. Arthur Miller's play was originally written as an allegory
for the Joseph McCarthy American 'witch-hunt' trials of the 1950s.

Abstract:
Woody Allen wrote, directed and stars in this screwball romantic comedy set
in 1940s Manhattan. Allen plays C.W.Briggs, a veteran insurance investigator
who, along with his co-worker Betty-Ann Fitzgerald (Helen Hunt), is
hypnotised at a magic show one night by master criminal Volton (David
Ogden Stiers). The cunning magician then uses the hapless pair to steal
priceless jewels from wealthy homes all over town - as well as making them
fall deeply in love with one another, which causes more than a few
complications, not least because Betty-Ann is already romantically involved
with their boss, Chris (Dan Aykroyd).

Abstract:
Following his previous two natural history series, 'Life on Earth' and 'The
Living Planet', David Attenborough surveyed the entire animal kingdom again
for this, the last series in his epic nature trilogy. Rather than focusing on
evolution or geography, this twelve-part series looks at animal behaviour
itself, examining why creatures behave as they do and how they overcome
problems in order to survive and flourish. Episodes are: 'Arriving', 'Growing
Up', 'Finding Food', 'Hunting and Escaping', 'Finding the Way', 'Homemaking',
'Living Together', 'Fighting', 'Friends and Rivals', 'Talking to Strangers',
'Courting' and 'Continuing the Line'. This is the uncut version, containing the
full 50-minute episodes (edited 30-minute versions were also produced).

Comedy based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger. Andrea (Anne Hathaway)
is a bright young woman from the Midwest who has just graduated from
college and wants to work as a magazine writer. She has applied for a job at
'Runway', America's most prestigious fashion journal. Andy has little interest
in the garment trade, but it is one of the only magazines in New York with a
job opening - second assistant to editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). As
Andy discovers, Miranda is a diva with plenty of power in the magazine
business, and she isn't afraid to use that power. Though Andy lands the job,
she soon learns that working for Miranda could test the patience of a saint,
thanks to her endless demands and refusal to acknowledge the end of a
work day. Andy struggles to hold on to the job and her sanity, knowing that
a recommendation from Miranda can open nearly any door at any magazine
- but can she handle the pressure without losing her mind along the way?

Abstract:
All ten episodes from the second series of the BBC sitcom set in a school
canteen, written by and starring comedienne Victoria Wood. In 'Catering',
Bren (Wood) has her work cut out when a team of decorators, who are
supposed to be painting the canteen over the weekend, arrive early. In
'Trouble', Jean (Anne Reid) is struggling to cope with the fact that her
husband has run off with a younger woman. 'Holidays' sees Bren looking
forward to going to Marbella with Tony (Andrew Dunn). In 'Fog', Bren has a
bad day, not helped by a visiting blood donor unit, a prisoner on the run and a compromising photo taken by Tony on holiday. 'Gamble' finds the
dinner ladies looking forward to Christmas - but Bren's festive plans are
unambitious to say the least. In 'Christmas', Bren and Tony are having
problems, and Bren considers handing in her notice at work. 'Minnellium'
sees Philippa (Celia Imrie) getting herself into a tizzy over the factory's New
Year celebrations. In 'Christine', a new employee comes to replace Anita, but
her chronic flatulence causes more than a few problems in her new
workplace. 'Gravy' sees Petula (Julie Walters) delivering some shocking
news. Finally, in 'Toast', Bren's success on 'Totally Trivial' has healed the rift
between her and Tony. But the canteen's future could be in jeopardy...

Double bill of biographical British dramas. 'The Duchess' (2008) stars Keira
Knightley as 18th-century aristocrat Georgiana Spencer, Duchess of
Devonshire, known for her glamorous and extravagant lifestyle. Married at a
young age to the older Duke of Devonshire (Ralph Fiennes), Georgiana
becomes a fashion icon and a shrewd political operator as well as a doting
mother and darling of the common people. However, trapped in an unhappy
triangle with her husband and his mistress (Hayley Atwell), her search for
love becomes increasingly desperate. When she begins a passionate affair
with an ambitious young politician (Dominic Cooper), the scandal causes
bitter conflict with her already distant husband. 'The Queen' (2006) is
Stephen Frears' critically acclaimed portrait of the English Monarch in time of
strife. One of the most turbulent times in British politics in recent memory
seen from an insider's perspective - an almost documentary look at the
relationship between the figurehead and the brains behind the UK. It's 1997
and Tony Blair's Labour Government has just won an election, ending 18
years of Conservative rule. Blair the firebrand (Michael Sheen) must
introduce himself to the Queen (Helen Mirren) and ask permission to govern
the country. The stone-faced Regina, in accepting, gives him not a millimeter
of slack, silently underscoring the fact she's in charge. Shortly thereafter, the
former Princess of Wales, wife of Elizabeth's son and heir, is killed in Paris.
The Queen's initial reaction is to hold ranks and treat Diana as an outsider,
being that she has left the royal household. Blair senses the coming landslide
of public opinion against this course of action and tries, as hard as a new
boy can, to make her majesty see sense. The question of who's truly in
charge comes to the fore.

Abstract:
Set in rural Wales and 1940s London, this biopic tells the story of the
romantic complications that arise between Welsh poet Dylan Thomas
(Matthew Rhys), his young wife Caitlin (Sienna Miller), his first love Vera
Phillips (Keira Knightley), and her husband William Killick (Cillian Murphy).
Dylan Thomas, having been diverted from active duty in the Second World
War and employed by the government to produce propaganda for Whitehall,
reconnects with his old flame Vera while working in London. Despite his
marriage to the feisty Caitlin, Thomas resumes his passionate relationship
with Vera. Unusually, despite being rivals in love, Caitlin and Vera form a
strong friendship when they meet, and Caitlin continues to indulge in her
own extra-marital entanglements. But Vera's marriage to her devoted
admirer William, and the effects of the ongoing drama of World War Two,
eventually put paid to the unconventional harmony of the bohemian menage
a trois, forcing events to a dramatic and violent denouement.

Catholic bishops, and Elizabeth soon becomes the target of an assassination
attempt. Cate Blanchett was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar and won a
BAFTA in recognition of her performance.

Abstract:
Complete first series of the BBC comedy from Ricky Gervais and Stephen
Merchant, following the humiliations of professional film extra Andy Millman
(Gervais) and his eccentric friend Maggie (Ashley Jensen) as they try - and
fail - to gain significant lines or parts in various productions. A host of
famous actors send themselves up in cameo roles. In 'Ben Stiller', the
Hollywood comedian is directing a film about the Bosnia conflict, and Andy
tries to win a role by making friends with the refugee who wrote the script.
In 'Ross Kemp', the TV hardman tries to convince Andy that his image is
real, before being humiliated by the much harder Vinnie Jones. In 'Kate
Winslet', the actress hopes her role in a Nazi war drama will win her an
Oscar, and Andy tries a little too hard to get close to her. In 'Les Dennis',
Andy gets a break playing in a panto alongside the washed-up TV star. In
'Samuel L. Jackson', Maggie gets into difficulties trying to prove she isn't
racist, while Andy manages to get a line on a film the Hollywood superstar is
making. Finally, in 'Patrick Stewart', Andy manages to enlist the
Shakespearean actor's help in getting a script he's written to the BBC, but
makes a fool of himself when he realises the script editor he's meeting with
is gay.

McCain employee Rollo Lee (John Cleese), who has instigated a policy that
only fierce creatures should be on display. When Vince sets up advertising

Scott (Eddie Marsan), who seems to be Poppy's exact opposite. Tagging
along with her friend Heather (Sylvestra Le Touzel) to the weekly tango
class, Poppy unexpectedly hits it off with social worker Tim (Samuel Roukin).
But it soon becomes clear that Scott, who up till now has shown no interest,
carries a secret torch for Poppy and is extremely jealous of her new
conquest.

Abstract:
Comedy adapted from the play by Alan Bennett. Eight bright, funny history
students in the mid 1980s are pursuing an undergraduate place at the
country's two finest universities. Their headmaster is obsessed with breaking
into the ranks of those schools that regularly send boys up to Oxford and
Cambridge and enlists Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore), a shrewd
newcomer, to coach the boys into intellectual shape for the trials ahead.
Seduced though they are by the exam-busting bag of tricks offered by the
temporary supply teacher, the boys are torn by their loyalty to the hugely
eccentric, poetry-spouting English master Hector (Richard Griffiths) and the
regular diet of nourishing facts and figures dispensed by Mrs Lintott (Frances
de la Tour), their history mistress. As they prepare for the daunting
admissions process, the journey of the History Boys becomes as much about
how education works as where education leads.

Abstract:
Harrowing drama set during the Rwandan conflict of the 1990s. The
Rwandan conflict of the 1990s marked one of the bloodiest chapters in
recent African history. Over the course of 100 days, almost one million
people were killed. The streets of the capital city of Kigali ran red with rivers
of blood, but no one came to help. There was no international intervention in
Rwanda, no expeditionary forces, no coalition of the willing. There was no
international aid for Rwanda. Rwanda's Hutu extremists slaughtered their
Tutsi neighbors and any moderate Hutus who stood in their way, and the
world left them to it. Amidst the horrendous violence and chaos that swept
the country, one of the many heroes to emerge was Paul Rusesabagina (Don
Cheadle), an ordinary man who, out of love and compassion, managed to
save the lives of 1268 people. The manager of a hotel, Paul offered shelter
to these refugees at considerable risk to his own safety.

Abstract:
Box set containing the Urquhart trilogy: three series based on the bestselling
novels by Michael Dobbs, starring Ian Richardson as corrupt politician
Francis Urquhart. In 'House of Cards', Urquhart is a long-serving MP who has
his eye on the top job, and will stop at nothing to fulfil his ambition. As the
trusted Chief Whip, he has insider knowledge that could bring down the
already precarious Prime Minister, and in order to unleash his power he
draws innocent young journalist Mattie Storin (Susannah Harker) into his
schemes. 'To Play the King' continues to follow Urquhart's career. Having
been made Prime Minister at the end of the last series after murdering an
investigative reporter, he now crosses swords with the newly crowned
monarch (Michael Kitchen) - a passionate man with firm liberal beliefs on the
future of the country. In the final part of the trilogy, 'The Final Cut', Urquhart
is well on his way to becoming Britain's longest-serving Prime Minister, and
is starting to plan his retirement. He still has the Cyprus peace treaty to tie
up, however, and the dark secrets from his past are beginning to come back
to haunt him.

Norville as chairman, presuming he is a dunce whose new position will
frighten the stockholders into selling all their stock cheaply, thus allowing
him to consolidate his hold on the company. A cynical journalist, Amy Archer
(Jennifer Jason Leigh), masquerades as Norville's secretary in the hope of
scooping a feature, but ends up falling for Norville, who in the meantime
invents the hula-hoop, makes a fortune and revives the company's stock.

Abstract:
Period drama about a mysterious magician in love with the wife of a fiery
monarch. The young Eisenheim (Norton) is an Austrian boy of meagre
means, son of a cabinetmaker but a lad with a keen mind. He's in love with
Sophie Von Teschen (Jessica Biel) - the girl next door - who is of high
breeding. Their plans to run away to China so Eisenheim can there learn the
secrets of great magic are scuppered by Sophie's parents who'd as soon put
a stop to the economic mis-match. In self-imposed exile, Eisenheim travels
the world learning the finest, most mystical tricks, becoming a sorcerer of no
little renown. Upon his return to Vienna, he finds Sophie unhappily engaged
to the vile Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell) who happens to be a great
sceptic of the world of magic. He assigns his Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti) to
monitor Eisenheim and out him for a fake. The Count and Eisenheim are
soon at odds and, when his dear Sophie is murdered, Eisenheim, apparently
racked with grief, designs a new illusion in which she appears onstage
bearing finger-pointing ill portent for the Count. Eisenheim is naturally shut
down and driven out of Vienna immediately. Uhl begins to observe
Eisenheim's movements more closely and to even have doubts about
whether Sophie is actually dead.

Abstract:
Presented by Michael Wood, this BBC documentary series explores the
nature and the possible reality of four of mankind's most enduring myths. In
an epic journey from the Tibetan mountains to the coast of Ireland, Wood
examines in detail why these stories have lasted so long and why they
continue to enthral today. He starts with the legend of Shangri-La, the lost
civilisation hidden in the mountains of the Himalayas, and then continues
with the Biblical story of the Queen of Sheba. Revered even today by the
Ethiopians as the founder of their country, Wood evaluates the evidence of
her existence and examines the links between this story and the Ark of the
Covenant. In the third part Wood travels to Greece and the Black Sea to look
at perhaps the oldest myth of all: the legend of Jason and the Golden
Fleece. Finally, he delves into the myriad stories about the Holy Grail, and
examines the links between the grail and King Arthur.

Abstract:
Armando Iannucci co-writes and directs this feature comedy - a big-screen
spin-off of the BBC series 'In the Thick of It' - satirising the inner workings of
British and American politics as the powers-that-be attempt to 'sell' the
deeply unpopular Iraq invasion to the public on both sides of the Atlantic.
When British Minister of International Development (Tom Hollander) puts his
foot in his mouth by announcing on national television that 'war is
unforeseeable', the British government is sent into a spiral of chaos and spin
propagated by the verbally aggressive Director of Communications, Malcom
Tucker (Peter Capaldi). Foster soon finds himself bundled off to Washington
on a fact-finding mission - where, in his naivety, he becomes the pawn of
the Pentagon's General Miller (James Gandolfini) and Assistant Secretary of
Diplomacy (Mimi Kennedy) in their mission to do their not-very-best to stop
the war happening.

Biographical account of the life of existentialist author Iris Murdoch as

Against all the odds she returns his affection and so begins a love affair that
will endure for over 40 years, amid the ups and downs of her achievements
as a famous philosophical novelist. The film eventually flashes forward to the
couple in older age, with John (Jim Broadbent) slowly realising that Iris
(Dame Judi Dench) has a mental illness, one that threatens the existence of
her personality, of the person he knows and loves.

Abstract:
Upon leaving jail, petty criminal Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) inherits a

mastermind of the plan murdered, Croker needs financial backing and finds
it in Mr Bridger (Noel Coward in his last screen role), a quintessential English
crime boss still incarcerated by Her Majesty's Prison Service. Bridger supplies
Charlie with his own gang of bank robbers, getaway drivers and computer
whizz-kids, and helps him plan the heist (during the practice runs Caine
utters the infamous phrase 'you were only supposed to blow the bloody
doors off'), which results in the world's biggest traffic jam. The gang's
getaway in red, white and blue minis is accompanied by the tune 'Getta
Bloomin Move On' (aka 'Self Preservation Society') written by Quincy Jones
and George Martin.

Gulf War memoir. Young recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) joins up with the
US Marines (nicknamed 'Jarheads' because of their distinctive haircuts) on
the eve of the 1990 Gulf War. After a brutal spell in boot camp, during which
Swofford and his fellow recruits are systematically geared up for the conflict,
the Marines are dispatched to the deserts of the Persian Gulf to take part in
a war that sees them required to do very little in the way of fighting. Bored
and frustrated in the middle of nowhere, the young soldiers resort to a
macabre sense of humour as they wait for the war to happen to them.

Abstract:
Feelgood drama based on the memoirs of Julie Powell and Julia Child,
starring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Stanley Tucci, about the lives of two
women and their passion for cooking. Julie (Streep) is a French cook who
became famous through her cookery shows shown on American television in
the 1960s and 1970s, while Julia (Adams) is a young American woman who
in 2002 decided to attempt to cook all 524 recipes from Julie's cookbook,
'Mastering the Art of French Cooking', over the course of one year and
chronicle it in an online blog. The intertwined stories of Julie and Julia show
the parallels that exist in their very different lives.

Abstract:
Acclaimed drama from director Ken Loach following a young boy from a
working-class Northern town who begins training a falcon to find relief from
his problems. Billy (David Bradley) appears to have little hope in his life. He
is bullied by his brother, Jud (Freddie Fletcher), and neglected by his
mother, while his inability to pay attention at school suggests he is destined
for a future spent working in the harsh conditions of the local mine. The
discovery of a young kestrel falcon is an important event in his life. Caring
for and training 'Kes' becomes a positive way for him to express himself and,
with the help of his English teacher, Mr Farthing (Colin Welland), Billy even
begins reading books on falconry so he can take better care of his pet.
However, as the problems at home continue, will Billy be allowed to develop
his natural affinity with Kes?

Abstract:
Historical drama based on the last chapter in the life of Russian novelist Leo
Tolstoy. Christopher Plummer stars as the famous writer, who is nearing the
end of his life after a long period of ill health. He lives with his family in a
compound at Yasnaya Polyana, attended to by his wife and the disciples of
his 'movement': a group of people dedicated to his ideas of pacifism,
vegetarianism, sexual abstinence and communal property who have
gathered in a nearby forest camp. When the head of the movement,
Vladimir Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), urges Leo to rewrite his will to
posthumously renounce his material possessions, thereby leaving his family
with nothing, Tolstoy's wife Sofya (Helen Mirren) does all she can to
influence her husband and protect her inheritance.

Abstract:
David Lean's lush, Oscar-winning biopic stars Peter O'Toole as T.E.
Lawrence, the Oxford-educated British army officer who aided the Arabs in
their revolt against the Turks. Teaming up with Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif),
Lawrence crosses a desert (considered uncrossable) in order to join two
separate Arab tribes together as a single fighting force. Aiming to achieve
Arab sovereignty, he wins a series of military victories but always keeps his
eye on the larger picture, doing his best to prevent the subjection of the
Arabs to British colonial rule. The film won seven Academy Awards including
Best Picture and Best Director.

Abstract:
Duo of BBC biographies telling the stories of two of the world's greatest
artists, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti. Both documentaries
use a combination of dramatic reconstruction based on the artists' diaries
and letters, critical commentary and modern-day artists' demonstrations of
the techniques employed by the two great men. 'Leonardo', a three-part
series presented by Alan Yentob, was made to mark the 500th anniversary
of the painting of the Mona Lisa, which Leonardo began in 1503. Mark
Rylance plays Leonardo in reconstructions of the artist's life, which are
filmed on location in Italy. Leonardo's inventions - including a parachute, a
hang-glider and a robot - are built and put to the test, and artist Leo
Stevenson demonstrates some of Leonardo's many unique painting
techniques. 'The Divine Michelangelo' is a two-part series starring
Shakespearean actor Stephen Noonan as Renaissance artist Michelangelo,
creator of the sculpture 'David' and the world-famous ceiling of Rome's
Sistine Chapel. Spanning Michelangelo's long life from his birth in 1475 to his
death aged 88 in 1564, the documentary features demonstrations of
Michelangelo's techniques by sculptor Romolo Burati, engineer Nick McLean
and fresco artists Fleur Kelly and Leo Stevenson.

The second and final of Timothy Dalton's outings as James Bond sees 007

begins when drug baron Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) makes an unexpected
appearance at the wedding of Felix Leiter (David Hedison), Bond's good
friend, leaving the groom maimed and the bride dead. Bond has no choice
but to seek his revenge and, with a little help from the obligatory 'Bond girl'
(Carey Lowell) and the ever-present Q (Desmond Llewellyn), sets out after
the villainous Sanchez. Causing a storm on its release because of its violence
and dark plot, the film was originally given an 18 certificate before studio
cuts.

Abstract:
In this Powell/Pressburger production set in World War Two Britain, stuffy
ex-soldier Clive Candy (Roger Livesey) recalls his career which began as a
dashing officer in the Boer War. As a young man he lost the woman he loved
(Deborah Kerr, who plays three roles) to a Prussian officer (Anton
Walbrook), whom he fought in a duel only to become lifelong friends with.
Candy cannot help but feel that his notions of honour and chivalry are out of
place in modern warfare. The film's title comes from 'Evening Standard'
cartoonist David Low's satirical comic creation, Colonel Blimp.

Roger Moore plays 007 for the first time, bringing a new camp sensibility to

unusual gadgets. The mission this time is to crack a voodoo-controlled drug
smuggling racket in the Caribbean, and Bond sets about the task with his
customary verve, finding time for speedboat chases and crocodile
encounters along the way. Admirable support is offered by Clifton James, as
an irate Southern-States Sheriff, and Jane Seymour, as a Voodoo Queen
whose power disappears when she loses her virginity by sleeping with Bond.
The theme tune is performed by Paul McCartney and Wings.

famous secret agent. The action this time sees Bond running around various
exotic spots (Gibraltar, Afghanistan) in pursuit of a couple of seedy dealers
in arms, drugs and diamonds. There is as much action and gadgetry as ever,
but a slightly less tongue-in-cheek script keeps 007's romantic liaisons down
to a minimum. Caroline Bliss makes her debut as Miss Moneypenny.

Abstract:
Alfred Hitchcock directs the first of his classic British spy thrillers. While
holidaying in the Swiss Alps with their daughter Betty, English couple Bob
(Leslie Banks) and Jill Lawrence (Edna Best) are befriended by Frenchman
Louis Bernard (Pierre Fresnay). When he is shot by international spies, Louis
warns Jill with his dying breath that his killers intend to assassinate a leading
diplomat in Britain. However, before Jill and Bob can inform the police, Betty
is kidnapped by the spies who warn the couple that unless they maintain
their silence they will never see their daughter again. Peter Lorre makes his
English-speaking debut as the charming but psychotic kidnapper, Abbott.
Hitchcock later decided to produce a big-budget, colour remake of the film
with James Stewart and Doris Day.

Abstract:
Classic fantasy from Powell and Pressburger in which an RAF pilot must
argue for his life in a celestial trial after a mix-up sees him survive a fall from
his plane. When Peter Carter (David Niven)'s plane is struck on his way back
to England from a bombing mission and his parachute destroyed, he
prepares himself for death. Incredibly, however, he awakes safely on the
ground the next day. It turns out that the emissary sent from Heaven to
carry him to his death, Conductor 71 (Marius Goring), was unable to locate
him in the fog, but has now arrived to take him to the next world. Carter
refuses to go, having fallen in love with the radio operator who talked to him
while the plane was going down, June (Kim Hunter). A trial is convened in
Heaven to see if Carter should be allowed to live on. Will the pilot be able to
convince the court that his love for June is strong enough that he should be
given another chance?

Abstract:
Thriller set in the murky world of corporate law. Michael Clayton (George
Clooney) is an in-house 'fixer' at one of the largest corporate law firms in
New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of his employer's
dirtiest work at the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach (Sydney
Pollack), to whom Clayton feels a deep loyalty. He arranges top-flight legal
services and skirts through loopholes for their ethically questionable clients.
Though burned out, disillusioned and hardly content with his job as a fixer,
his messy private life has left him inextricably tied to the firm. Meanwhile,
litigator Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) finds her entire company's future
hinging on the outcome of a multi-billion dollar settlement overseen by
Clayton's friend, star lawyer Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson). When Edens
snaps and decides to blow the whistle on the questionable case, sabotaging
the defence, Clayton finds himself in the centre of a conspiratorial maelstrom
where he must decide between his loyalty and his conscience.

code: 15. DVD.
Abstract:
Five television adaptations of the crime novels by Minette Walters. In 'The
Ice House' (1997), three lesbian women living on a secluded country estate
are embroiled in a murder investigation after a partially decomposed body is
found on their grounds. The discovery unites the local community against
the women, and raises new questions about a mysterious disappearance
which occured ten years previously. 'The Scolds Bridle' (1998) sees an
investigation into an apparent suicide suddenly turn into a murder enquiry,
as Detective Cooper (Bob Peck) discovers the victim had severe arthritis and
would have been physically incapable of killing herself. Looking into her
background, Cooper finds that the victim had plenty of potential enemies. In
'The Echo' (1998), Clive Owen plays Michael Deacon, a brooding reporter
who discovers a murdered homeless man in the house of a beautiful woman,
and sets off to investigate. 'The Dark Room' (1999) sees Dervla Kirwan
playing Jinx Kingsley, a young woman who has suddenly regained her
memory after a bout of amnesia and finds herself suspected of two murders
and her own attempted suicide. Finally, in 'The Sculptress' (1996), Olive
Martin (Pauline Quirke), an isolated and reserved young woman, is accused
and found guilty of her mother's brutal murder. While in prison she decides
to write a book about her life; when she comes into contact with established
author Roz Leigh (Caroline Goodall), the older woman quickly suspects that
Olive is innocent of the crime. Roz decides to launch her own investigation
into the case, although matters are not quite as straightforward as she
thought.

Austen. Cast: Olivia Williams, Imogen Poots, Greta Scacchi, Samuel Roukin,
Hugh Bonneville, Jack Huston, Phyllida Law, Sally Tatum, Adrian
Edmondson, Tom Goodman-Hill. BBFC code: PG. DVD.
Abstract:
BBC drama based on Jane Austen's actual letters and diaries that aims to
reveal the secrets of this most elusive of novelists. Jane (Olivia Williams) is
nearing her forties and has never married. Her sharply observed romantic
novels are widely admired. She is a favourite aunt to her niece Fanny Knight
(Imogen Poots) who looks to Jane for help in her own search for a happy
marriage. Surely the wisdom and knowledge displayed in her novels make
Jane an ideal candidate for vetting suitors. But as Jane reflects on her own
romantic liaisons and love affairs, she recalls the missed opportunities, the
proposals spurned, and the love that arrived too late. Did she make the right
choices? Could the great novelist and supposed romantic expert have got
things wrong all along? Focusing on a small part of the author's life, this
drama can be seen as a companion piece to 'Becoming Jane', the 2007 film
that starred Anne Hathaway as the younger Austen.

Drama set in 1953 in Wellesley College, a prestigious women's college in
New England with a student population of young women from respectable,
privileged families. On the whole the girls, products of a time when women's
roles were strictly defined, show more interest in marrying well than in
achieving intellectual growth or artistic freedom. But when a new art history
professor, Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts), begins teaching at the college,
their repressed upbringings and narrow ideas are brought into question. A
Berkeley graduate with progressive ideas, Watson sets out to stretch her
students intellectually, and challenge their limited outlook on life.

Abstract:
Romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Alex Fletcher
(Grant) was a popular musician in the 1980s, but these days he's lucky to
get a gig playing at the local county fair. Just when it seems as if things
couldn't get any bleaker for Alex, reigning pop diva Cora Corman (Haley
Bennett) offers him the opportunity to write and record a duet with her and
give his career a much-needed boost. Little does Cora realise that not only
has it been years since Alex has written a song, but he's never actually
written a single lyric. Now, if he hopes to make the comeback needed to
save him from a life of complete and utter obscurity, Alex will have to craft a
radio-friendly hit in a matter of mere days. Luckily for Alex, his quirky plantkeeper Sophie Fisher (Barrymore) has quite a way with words and may
possess just the kind of songwriting talent needed to make such a hit
happen.

springs an unlikely romance. However, the path of true love is littered with

Abstract:
Third installment of director Steven Soderbergh's popular series of glitzy
crime comedies. The only hotelier in Las Vegas who can claim that each and
every one of his establishments has earned the Royal Review Board's Five
Diamond Award, Willy Bank (Al Pacino) has made more than his share of
enemies during his impressive ascent. However, in betraying Reuben
Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), Bank has finally crossed the one man who could
bring his entire empire crumbling to the ground - Danny Ocean (George
Clooney). Now Reuben is in a critical condition and Ocean is determined to
strike back at the man who nearly murdered his mentor. As the opening of
Bank's newest casino draws near, Danny and the crew set into motion a bold
plan to humiliate the cocksure casino owner and forever tarnish his spotless
reputation.

$160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go
straight, lay low and live a legitimate life. However, when someone rats

money back - with interest.

screen and is a meticulously crafted commentary on all things English as well
as being a wonderfully romantic tale. Tilda Swinton stars as the eponymous
hero who lives for 500 years and changes sex halfway. Granted a favour of
immortality from Quentin Crisp's archetypal Queen Elizabeth I, Orlando
proceeds to spend the next few centuries in search of love, life and
adventure.

The story is a fictionalised account of the life of Mary Boleyn (Scarlett

married her sister, Anne (Natalie Portman). Set during one of the most
dramatic periods in British regal history, the narrative focuses on the
relationship and rivalry between the two Boleyn girls and the power game
being played by their family in which the sisters are mere pawns. When Mary
is ousted in favour of Anne, she leaves the King's Court to marry a
commoner, but is compelled to return when her sister embarks on a reckless
plan to try and save herself from ruin.

Sarah then quickly take refuge in the secure chamber, locking themselves in
and watching the burglars through the surveillance system; what follows is a
tense cat-and-mouse game, as the criminals attempt to unlock the room and
the mother and daughter try to signal for help. Directed by David Fincher

Abstract:
David Lean made a comeback after a twelve year absence with this Oscarwinning adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel. Judy Davis plays Miss Quested, a
young English woman, recently arrived in India, who accuses the seemingly
humble Dr Aziz (Victor Banerjee) of raping her during a trip to the Marabar
caves. The subsequent trial lays bare the tensions which exist between the
native population and the British colonialists, as well as the sexual repression
which lurks under the surface of the polite society the British attempt to
recreate on foreign soil.

Oliver Stone's award winning film tells the story of a young innocent 19year-old soldier, Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen), who is thrown headfirst into
the bloody Vietnam conflict. He is forced to fight not only the Viet Cong, but
also his own fears and intense anger. As a result of not being able to make
any progress against the enemy, the soldiers, led by the strict and
unsympathetic Sergeant Barnes (Tom Berenger), are forced to turn their
anger and guns on each other. Barnes also has a personal battle with fellow
officer Sergeant Elias (Willem Dafoe), who is the more understanding and
compassionate of the two officers and helps Sheen to cope with his personal
problems.

Abstract:
Thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Rupert Angier (Jackman)
and Alfred Borden (Bale) are London-based magicians of the highest order,
both blessed with spectacular powers of deception and both cursed with
unrelenting envy for one another's skills. When Alfred performs an aweinspiring trick for which there seems no logical explanation, the friendly
competition shared between the pair turns to deadly rivalry as the enraged
Rupert determines to uncover his rival's deepest secrets. In the world of
illusion, however, nothing is ever quite as it seems, and the rules of the
physical world simply don't apply. Now, as bitter competition quickly begins
to consume the souls of both performers, the firestorm birthed by their
anger threatens to consume all who surround them.

Daniel Craig returns as James Bond 007 in the globe-trotting franchise for

Interrogating Mr White (Jesper Christensen), Bond discovers that the
shadowy organisation responsible for blackmailing Vesper is a lot more
powerful and dangerous than he ever imagined. Tracing a link to Hawaii,
Bond soon crosses paths with Ukrainian beauty Camille (Olga Kurylenko)
who leads him to megalomaniacal businessman Dominic Greene (Mathieu
Amalric), head of the organisation known simply as Quantum. Wishing to
control one of the world's natural resources, Greene's organisation has a
finger in every government agency worldwide, and it falls to Bond to keep
one step ahead of his friends, and enemies, to stop Greene holding the

Abstract:
Dustin Hoffman directs this comedy drama adapted by writer Ronald
Harwood from his own stage play of the same name. Beecham House is a
retirement home with a difference: it specifically caters for former artistes
including one-time opera singers Cissy (Pauline Collins), Reginald (Tom
Courtenay) and Wilf (Billy Connolly). Once part of a quartet, the three still
take part in an annual concert to celebrate the birthday of composer
Giuseppe Verdi. But this year things are complicated by the arrival of the
fourth member of their quartet, Jean (Maggie Smith), a die-hard diva who
also happens to be Reginald's ex-wife. Theatrical temperaments and old
hostilities flare as the dramatic foursome fuss, flirt and flounce their way
through rehearsals, adhering emphatically to that old showbiz adage, 'the
show must go on'.

Abstract:
Stephen Frears' critically acclaimed portrait of the English Monarch in time of
strife. One of the most turbulent times in British politics in recent memory
seen from an insider's perspective - an almost documentary look at the
relationship between the figurehead and the brains behind the UK. It's 1997
and Tony Blair's Labour Government has just won an election, ending 18
years of Conservative rule. Blair the firebrand (Michael Sheen) must
introduce himself to the Queen (Helen Mirren) and ask permission to govern
the country. The stone-faced Regina, in accepting, gives him not a millimeter
of slack, silently underscoring the fact she's in charge. Shortly thereafter, the
former Princess of Wales, wife of Elizabeth's son and heir, is killed in Paris.
The Queen's initial reaction is to hold ranks and treat Diana as an outsider,
being that she has left the royal household. Blair senses the coming landslide
of public opinion against this course of action and tries, as hard as a new
boy can, to make her majesty see sense. The question of who's truly in
charge comes to the fore.

Abstract:
During the most part of the early to mid 20th century, Australia's
government policy was that mixed race Aboriginal children would be better
off being brought up as white and so forcefully removed them from their
homes to be trained as domestic servants. This film follows the true story of
3 such children; cousins Molly, Gracie and Daisy, who in 1931 found
themselves being taken from their parents, sent to an institution and forced
to forget their family and culture. However, Molly leads her 2 cousins in a
daring escape across 1,500 miles of outback with no water and only the
fence erected across the country to stop the epidemic of rabbits as a guide.
Kenneth Branagh plays the government official charged with the return of
the girls and the story is based on the book by Doris Pilkington, the neice of
Daisy.

that Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), who lives in the apartment opposite,

Abstract:
Classic Powell and Pressburger drama about an aspiring ballerina who is
presented with a stark choice between her artistic ambitions and the man
she loves. The film, justly famous for a ballet sequence credited by many as
the best on film, has at its heart Victoria Page (Moira Shearer), a talented
young ballerina hired to work on an adaptation of the Hans Christian
Andersen tale, 'The Red Shoes'. The production is overseen by Boris
Lermontov (Anton Walbrook), a ballet impresario who rules his domain with
a rod of iron, making the careers of those he champions but demanding
absolute loyalty and dedication to the art of ballet in return. When Boris
discovers that Victoria has fallen in love with Julian (Marius Goring), the
ballet's composer, he becomes convinced that the affair will distract his
leading lady and presents her with a choice - the ballet or Julian? Will the
young ballerina be able to choose between her two great loves?

Abstract:
Director Brian De Palma revisits similar terrain that he covered in his 1989
film, 'Casualties of War', in this 'fictional documentary' loosely based on a
real-life gang rape and multiple murder perpetrated by US soldiers in Iraq in
2006. Centred around a small army group stationed at a checkpoint in Iraq,
the film alternates points of view, balancing the experiences of these
inexperienced young men with those of the western media and local Iraqi
people. Utilising an array of different filmic styles, from video diaries and
surveillance footage, to produced documentaries and news coverage, De
Palma forces the viewer to question how 'truth' is reported and asks difficult
questions about the brutalising effects of war on all those involved.

then there's Miranda's movie star ex-lover Don Lucas (William Baldwin), who
is determined to win her back; and finally there's the bombshell dropped by
Felicity's assistant Moxie (Sophie Thompson), who claims to be Miranda's
estranged sister. Will Nigel and Miranda ever make it to the altar or will the
plotting and complications get the better of them?

Factory worker Barry Kane (Robert Cummings) finds himself branded an
industrial saboteur after a fire breaks out in the workplace. The extinguisher
he handed to his colleague and best friend itself burst into flame, and Kane
is now on the run, determined to find the real culprit and so prove his
innocence. The only person who believes his story is Patricia Martin (Priscilla
Lane), who aids him in his flight from the authorities. Alfred Hitchcock's
suspenseful chase film, a contribution to America's wartime propaganda, can
be seen as a precursor to his later success 'North by Northwest'.

imprisonment as possible, whilst keeping on the right side of the Nazi
authorities.

another woman. 'Three's a Crowd' sees Carrie disappointed when she meets
the ex-Mrs Big, while Charlotte's boyfriend wants to spice up their
relationship with an extra woman. In 'The Turtle and the Hare', Mr Big tells

All 20 episodes from the sixth and final series of the hit comedy drama series
set in New York. In 'To Market, To Market', Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is
getting so nervous about her date with Berger (Ron Livingston) that she
decides to go on a Sim-u-date to calm her nerves. 'Great Sexpectations' sees
Carrie realising that the passion she and Berger feel for each other doesn't
translate to the bedroom. In 'The Perfect Present', Carrie is concerned by
Berger's hostile reaction to his ex-girlfriend's voicemail message. In 'Pick-aLittle, Talk-a-Little', Berger reacts badly to Carrie's jokey criticism of his new
novel. In 'Lights, Camera, Relationship', Carrie and Berger's relationship
starts to look even more fragile when Carrie gets a big advance for her book
just as Berger's option is dropped by his publisher. In 'Hop, Skip and a
Week', Berger and Carrie drift even further apart and he finally dumps her by Post-it note. In 'The Post-it Always Sticks Twice', Carrie vows to her
friends that she won't badmouth Berger - but when she runs into some
friends of his the temptation proves irresistible. In 'The Catch', Charlotte
(Kristin Davis) gets married to Harry (Evan Handler). 'A Woman's Right to
Shoes' finds Carrie's new Manolos being stolen at her friend's baby shower.
In 'Boy, Interrupted', Carrie runs into an old high school boyfriend, who is in
town to attend a local psychiatric facility. 'The Domino Effect' sees Big (Chris
Noth) back in town for an operation. In a feverish delirium he opens up to
Carrie - but on recovery becomes his usual cool and closed-off self. In 'One',
Carrie meets Aleksandr Petrovsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov) at a hot new art
exhibition. In 'Let There Be Light', Carrie stays over at Aleksandr's apartment
and the two become an official item. In 'Catch-38', Aleksandr tells Carrie that
he has a daughter in Paris, and that he doesn't want any more children leaving Carrie to wonder if, at 38, she's willing to give up a man for a baby
she may or may not want to have. 'Out of the Frying Pan' sees Carrie
walking out on Aleksandr when, during a conversation about Samantha's
(Kim Cattrell) breast cancer, he mentions a friend of his who died of the
illness. In 'The Cold War', Carrie arranges for her friends to meet Aleksandr,
but he doesn't show up, and it turns out he's anxious about his forthcoming
exhibition in Paris. In 'Splat', Carrie accepts Aleksandr's offer to accompany
him to Paris. In 'An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)', Carrie, left to her own
devices on the streets of Paris while Aleksandr prepares for his exhibition, is
missing her friends and her life back home. In the final episode, 'An
American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)', Carrie returns to New York and her
friends with Big after he tracks her down in Paris and they realise they are
meant to be together.

Morning' and 'You Were Meant for Me'.

Abstract:
Complete first series of the BBC's controversial television drama about
corporate and government conspiracy, starring Bill Nighy and John Simm.
When a teenage drug-dealer is shot dead and a high-profile MP's lover is
killed falling under a Tube train, investigative journalist Cal McCaffrey
(Simm) is asked by his editor to find out if there was any connection
between the two deaths. Cal's discovery of a missing briefcase that may
contain information sensitive to the government puts his life in danger, and
with a hitman on his tail he needs police protection. At the same time, Cal's
growing involvement with the MP's wife begins to compromise his
objectivity, and when he discovers a link between the dead girl, the
government and the sinister U-Ex Oil company, his position at the
newspaper is abruptly terminated. Trying to stay one step ahead of the
people after him, Cal is able to expose the person responsible for ordering
the killings, unleashing a controversy that could bring down the government.

Abstract:
Billy Wilder directs this Oscar-winning classic exposé of the Hollywood studio
system. Struggling Hollywood writer Joe Gillis (William Holden) is attempting
to avoid his creditors when he pulls his car into the garage of an apparently
deserted mansion. He soon discovers that it is in fact the home of Norma
Desmond (Gloria Swanson), an ageing actress who was once a star of silent
films. Desperate for money, Gillis agrees to work on a screenplay adaptation
of 'Salome' which Norma has written for her intended comeback. Gillis then
gradually becomes trapped in Norma's bizarre fantasy world, and when he
tries to leave her, she makes an attempt at suicide. The film also features
silent screen legends Cecil B. DeMille, Buster Keaton and Erich von Stroheim
in supporting roles.

Abstract:
Ken Loach directs this raw and gritty coming-of-age drama set in Greenock,
Scotland, where unemployment is high and drugs are rife. Liam (Martin

best mate Pinball (William Ruane) and waits for the release from jail of his
mother, Jean (Michelle Coulter), who is serving time for a crime actually
committed by her drug dealer boyfriend, Stan (Gary McCormack). When
Liam refuses to help Stan out with his latest consignment of drugs, he ends
up being kicked out of his own house, and moves in with his older sister,
single mum Chantelle (Annmarie Fulton). He decides to find a way out of
Stan's violent clutches for himself and his mother when she is released, and
in his determination to raise the cash to buy a caravan for them to live in, he
comes up with a plan to steal Stan's stash and sell it to local junkies. As his
sixteenth birthday approaches, Liam ironically finds himself ending up
embroiled in the very life of crime he had struggled to avoid.

Georgie (Lily Tomlin), an eccentric American archaeologist; Elsa (Cher), also
an American, and brash and reckless with it; and finally Mary (Joan

the political climate shifts towards fascism, the ladies must face some
inevitable changes, and Luca must face his own responsibilities.

Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) has a seemingly idyllic lifestyle: a secure job,
a loving family and a peaceful home. Yet, unbeknownst to him, his entire
existence has been one long TV series, the people around him Hollywood
actors, the town a massive studio set, and the whole show orchestrated by a
visionary director (Ed Harris). As the truth begins to dawn on Truman, he
resolves to break free, no matter the consequences for the programme's
ratings. This comic fantasy was one of the most critically acclaimed
mainstream movies of recent years, and was nominated for a Best Film
Oscar.

Abstract:
The first season (including pilot) of David Lynch's landmark murder mystery
television series 'Twin Peaks'. Twin Peaks (population 51,201) lies just 5
miles from the Canadian border, a sleepy everytown USA where everyone's
lives intersect with everyone else's. The town wakes up one morning to find
one of its brightest young inhabitants, beautiful Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee)
murdered and wrapped in plastic down by the river. Local police Harry S.
Truman (Michael Ontkean) and tearful Deputy Andy are out of their depth
with such a murder case and a FBI agent is assigned to the case. Youthful,
charismatic and somewhat otherworldy in his approach to policing, Agent
Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) arrives to try to solve the case. Cooper's
appearance causes ripples in the small town and in turn he discovers that
Twin Peaks is a small town full of secrets. Aided by the ever-stoic Harry,
Agent Cooper starts to uncover Laura's double-life, high-achieving student
and dutiful daughter by day, but morally corrupt partygirl by night. It seems
that no-one is entirely innocent in their relationship to the dead-girl. Cooper
regularly files reports via dictaphone cassette to 'Diane' at FBI regional

seriously. He travels the length and breadth of the country, racking up air
miles and living out of a suitcase, and relishing every moment of it. When his
job and way of life come under threat by new centralised procedures
implemented by his hotshot colleague Natalie (Anna Kendrick), Ryan
determines to show her just how valuable his role is - but instead ends up
facing up to some of the pitfalls of his lifestyle. The film won the 2010
BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, this tense thriller
tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie

(Hugo Weaving) known only as 'V'. Incomparably charismatic and ferociously
skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he
urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey
uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the
truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of
his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty
and corruption.

Abstract:
A 1990s New Yorker finds herself obsessed with the love story between
Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough) and King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy)
in this drama directed by Madonna. Unhappily married Wally (Abbie Cornish)
is fascinated by the life of Simpson, the American divorcee Edward VIII gave
up the English throne for. While visiting a Sotheby's auction of the Windsor's
estate, Wally realises that the couple's life together was not all sweetness
and light. However, she also learns of the sacrifices Wallis was prepared to
make for the man she loved, which gives her renewed strength to choose
her own destiny. Journeying between the past and present, the film
contrasts and compares Wally's modern day journey with the story of the
Windsors, from their early days in the spotlight, to their later years of
isolation.

While out on a picnic in the Australian outback with his teenage daughter

Gumpilil) who is on walkabout - a rites of passage ritual whereby he must
survive in the wilderness for several weeks. He finds food and water for the
siblings, and develops a form of communication with the young boy despite
being unable to speak English. The girl, however, rebuffs the mating dance
which the Aborigine performs in her honour.

destroyed a very large British garrison, 4,000 Zulu warriors are now on their
way to overcome the handful of men stationed at Rorke's Drift. The two
lieutenants in charge of the garrison, Jon Chard (Stanley Baker) and Gonville
Bromhead (Caine), are at odds with each other, but manage to rally the men
together and put up a courageous fight. Only a few of the men survived,
eleven receiving the Victoria Cross.
