Abstract:
Award-winning historical slave-narrative drama directed by Steve McQueen
and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film follows the experience of Solomon
Northup (Ejiofor), an African-American living with a wife and two children in
Saratoga, New York, who is kidnapped and sold into slavery by men claiming
to offer him work as a circus musician. Transported by ship to New Orleans,
it isn't long before he is given a new name and sold to William Ford
(Benedict Cumberbatch), a relatively empathetic slave owner. But
confrontations with the cruel and violent overseer John Tibeats (Paul Dano)
leads to Solomon being passed on by Ford to the extremely abusive and
alcoholic planter Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), who rules his slaves with
a whip in one hand and a Bible in the other. Believing the only hope of
regaining his freedom is to remain passive for the time being, Solomon
ceases fighting against the illegitimacy of his situation until salvation is
offered to him by a kindly labourer named Bass (Brad Pitt). The film was
nominated for nine Academy Awards and won three including Best Picture
and Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o). It also won the Golden Globe
for Best Motion Picture - Drama and BAFTAs for Best Leading Actor (Ejiofor)
and Best Film.

Abstract:
Richard Curtis writes and directs this British comedy about a young man who
discovers he can time travel. Following yet another uneventful New Year's
Eve Party, 21-year-old Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) learns a life-changing secret
from his father (Bill Nighy). It seems that the men in Tim's family possess
the unique ability to travel in time by simply entering a dark space, clenching
their fists, and imaging the place they want to be. Armed with this
knowledge, Tim decides to leave rural Cornwall behind and move to London
to become a lawyer, and in the process, find love. All seems to be going well
when he meets and falls for the dazzling Mary (Rachel McAdams), using his
newfound abilities to help win the day. But when a mishap in the time
travelling manoeuvre threatens his future happiness, Tim soon comes to
realise that, above all else, it's how you live your life in the present that
really matters.

Abstract:
Romantic drama set in the 1960s. Amid the turbulent years of anti-war
protest, mind exploration and rock 'n roll, the film moves from the dockyards
of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riottorn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed
lovers, Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a
small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging antiwar and counterculture movements, with 'Dr. Robert' (Bono) and 'Mr. Kite'
(Eddie Izzard) as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control
ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy - against all
odds - to find their own way back to each other.

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:
Amma Asante directs this British period drama inspired by the 1779 painting
of Dido Elizabeth Belle and her cousin Lady Elizabeth Murray. Dido (Gugu
Mbatha-Raw) is the daughter of English Naval captain Sir John Lindsay
(Matthew Goode) and an African woman. Sent to England to be raised on
the Kenwood House Estate by her uncle, Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson),
Dido quickly realises that her ethnicity is problematic in upper class society.
Though her cousin Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) accepts her friendship
immediately and the girls become inseparable, Lord Mansfield and Lady
Mansfield (Emily Watson) are tormented by the question of Dido's social
status. As Dido points out, it leaves her in a somewhat lonely position to be
deemed 'too good' to dine with the servants and 'not good enough' to
entertain visitors, but when she meets dashing young lawyer John Davinier
(Sam Reid) she discovers an Englishman who accepts her as she is and
offers his hand in marriage. Can the couple's love overcome the conventions
and prejudices of the time?

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.

Abstract:
Epic BBC adaptation of the Dickens classic, with a script by acclaimed writer
Andrew Davies and performances from Gillian Anderson, Denis Lawson,
Charles Dance and Anna Maxwell Martin, amongst many others. High and
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.

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:
Political drama based on the rise to power and subsequent assassination of
Bobby Kennedy in 1968. Focusing on the ordinary people present in the last
few hours of Robert Kennedy's life, this film paints a picture of American life
in that most turbulent of periods in the country's history - one in which the
Kennedy family appeared to lose a son rather too often. The hope placed on
the shoulders of Robert Kennedy in the wake of his brother's death is
palpable. The choice of subjects frames the social issues and divides present
at the time including sexual inequality, class and race and an all-star
ensemble cast is on hand to carry it off; Demi Moore, William H. Macy,
Anthony Hopkins and Sharon Stone to name a scant few.

harder. 'Yosser's Story' features Yosser's struggle to find work and retain

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.

In the future, a clerk at the all-powerful Ministry of Information sticks to his

'1984', which it echoes, the future is seen from a 1940's perspective.

an excessively diligent sewage inspector.

Abstract:
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).

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.

Abstract:
Michael Winterbottom directs this off-beat comedy about an attempt to film
Laurence Sterne's 'unfilmable' 18th century novel 'The Life and Opinions of
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.

Hard-hitting political thriller based on the novel by John Le Carre, and the

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
World by the West, at the same time as he discovers more about the
beautiful young wife he never really knew.

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.

In Salem, Massachusetts, 1692, accusations of witchcraft are rife. John
Proctor (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his wife Elizabeth (Joan Allen) are innocent

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.

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...

Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Matthew (Dan Stevens), Lord Grantham (Hugh
Bonneville) learns that the future of Downton is in grave jeopardy after the
collapse of investments made with his wife (Elizabeth McGovern)'s fortune.
With the family beginning to gather for the wedding celebrations, a grand
entrance by Cora's thoroughly modern mother, Martha Levinson (Shirley

feathers.

Abstract:
Roger Moore plays 007 for the first time, bringing a new camp sensibility to
the series while presiding over the usual quota of eyebrow-raising action and
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.

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.

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.

Abstract:
Clint Eastwood's first half of the Iwo Jima saga. Based on the book by James
Bradley and Ron Powers, it is February 1945, and even as victory in Europe
was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most
crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo
Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic
images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American
flag on Mount Suribachi. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in
being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they
wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were
fighting and dying without fanfare or glory.

Oscar nominated drama directed by, written by and starring George Clooney.
The year is 1953, television is still in its infancy and the esteemed broadcast

documentary show, 'See it Now', on CBS. Murrow, alongside producer Fred
Friendly (Clooney), oversees a show that reports on the news items of the
day. He has a dedicated crew of reporters that includes Don Hewitt (Grant
Heslov), Joe Wershba (Robert Downey Jr.), Palmer Williams (Tom
McCarthy), Jesse Zousmer (Tate Donovan), John Aaron (Reed Diamond),
Charlie Mack (Robert John Burke) and Eddie Scott (Matt Ross). All these men
will become broadcast legends, but right now, their careers are just
beginning. With the threat of Communism creating an air of paranoia in the
United States and Senator Joseph McCarthy exploiting those fears, Murrow
and Friendly decide to take a stand and challenge McCarthy, exposing him
for the fearmonger he is.

Captain Mallory (Gregory Peck), whose clinical approach does not find favour
with explosives expert Corporal Miller (David Niven). Meanwhile, the group's
Greek patriot guide Andrea Stavros (Anthony Quinn) is nursing a grudge
against Mallory for an old injustice. A belated sequel, 'Force 10 from

Abstract:
Mike Leigh's life-affirming comedy follows the fortunes of an ever-optimistic
school teacher in North London. Poppy (Sally Hawkins) is the salt of the
earth. Working in a primary school, she loves her job, shares a flat with her
best friend, and lives her life with a smile on her face. When her bike is
stolen one day, she decides she needs to learn to drive and registers at the
local 'Axle School of Motoring' where she meets dour, harrassed instructor,
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:
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.

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.

BBFC code: 15. DVD.
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.

Keller starts investigating Silvia's past, he becomes more convinced that she
is in some way involved with the conspiracy. Locked into an emotional

enough in order to avert an assassination attempt on American soil.

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.

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:
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.

Abstract:
The second and final of Timothy Dalton's outings as James Bond sees 007
leave Her Majesty's Secret Sevice and branch out on his own. The trouble
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.

David Attenborough's natural history exploration into life in the Antarctic.
Unique filming of some of the largest, smallest, sturdiest mammals who
survive sub-zero temperatures, biting winds and a changing ecology. The
series also looks at the role of the ocean as both challenge and home to
marine animals; the cruel effects of the Antarctic winter on shelter and food
supplies; and finally the great expeditions by Man to reach the South Pole.

Timothy Dalton plays James Bond for the first time, leaving behind the high
camp of the Roger Moore years for a relatively straight reading of the
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.

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.

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.

interweaving various characters in a complex tale of greed, passion and
death in Victorian London. John Harmon (Steven Mackintosh) is betrothed to
the beautiful-but-spoilt Bella Wilfer (Anna Friel), who only wishes to marry
for money. Then Harmon disappears, and it seems that he has drowned, but
he has in fact assumed a new identity and found work with his late father's
former employees, the Boffins (Peter Vaughan and Pam Ferris). Meanwhile,
impoverished Lizzy Hexam (Keeley Hawes) must choose between the selfish
Eugene Wrayburn (Paul McGann) and the obsessive Bradley Headstone
(David Morrissey).

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.

perfect partner. 'Models and Mortals' sees Miranda dating a model obsessive,
while Samantha videotapes herself having sex. In 'Bay of Married Pigs',
Miranda is shocked to discover that her colleagues think she is a lesbian. In
'Valley of the Twenty-Somethings', the sex-obsessed ladies discover the ins
and outs of dating younger men. 'The Power of Female Sex' sees Carrie
dating a wealthy French architect, while in 'Secret Sex', she suspects that Mr
Big is keeping her a secret from his friends because he is ashamed of her. In
'The Monogamists', Carrie decides that she wants to be monogamous with
Mr Big, while Miranda's feelings for Skipper change when she sees him with
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
Carrie that he will never remarry, while Samantha tries to change a halitosisridden investor whom she has nicknamed 'The Turtle' into a 'catch', without
notable success. In 'The Baby Shower', the girls start to think about their
futures and, specifically, the joys of motherhood. 'The Drought' sees the girls
all taking an involuntary break from sex. And finally in 'Oh Come All Ye
Faithful', Carrie worries that her relationship with Mr Big is going nowhere
after he introduces her to his mother as a 'friend'.

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.

Sonell Dadral, Trisha Goddard, Bill Nighy. BBFC code: 15. DVD.
Abstract:
Much-lauded comedy, described by its makers as 'a romantic comedy - with
zombies'. Written by Simon Pegg, creator of the hit TV series 'Spaced', the
film fuses the style (and copious bloodshed) of classic zombie films with
observational suburban comedy. Shaun (Pegg) is a useless but likeable
thirty-something who works in an electronics shop in Crouch End. He doesn't
get much respect from his fellow staff, even though he's standing in as
temporary boss; his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) has had enough of his lack
of direction and penchant for downing pints in the local pub; and he doesn't
get on with his stepdad (Bill Nighy). Things get worse when the living dead
make their appearance, threatening to spread their zombie curse across the
nation. Will Shaun be able to rise from his sofa to save the lives of the two
women he loves - Liz and his dear old mum?

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.

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
headquarters, but is he getting any closer to the killer, and will his
department allow him to stay on the case with the 'evidence' pointing to a
supernatural killer?
