Le meilleur des mondes possibles

Durant son voyage, Travis apprend qu'il lui faut renoncer à ses principes afin de réussir mais qu'à la différence des autres personnages qu'il croise, il doit conserver un certain détachement pour mettre de la distance entre lui et les maux du monde : c'est pour cela que ce film est souvent considéré comme une réécriture du Candide de Voltaire. Dans le film, Travis devient successivement vendeur de café (il travaille pour Imperial Coffee dans le Nord-Est de l'Angleterre et l'Écosse), victime de torture dans un établissement gouvernemental et cobaye pour la recherche médicale sous la supervision du Dr Millar.

Brass

May 28, 1990
Brass is a British comedy-drama series made by Granada Television for ITV and eventually Channel 4. Set mostly in Utterley, a fictional Lancashire mining town in the 1930s, Brass was a comedy satirising the working-class period dramas of the 1970s and the American supersoaps such as Dallas and Dynasty. Unusually for ITV comedies of the time, there was no laughter track and the humour deliberately kept extremely dry, using convoluted wordplay and subtle commentary on popular culture. Brass is northern English slang for "money" as well as for "effrontery". The series also gleefully parodied the 1977 Granada TV dramatisation of Dickens' Hard Times, which also starred Timothy West. The series, created by John Stevenson and Julian Roach, was set around two feuding families—the wealthy Hardacres and the poor, working-class Fairchilds, who lived in a small terraced house rented from the Hardacre empire. The Hardacre family was headed by the ruthless self-made businessman Bradley, who espoused Thatcherite rhetoric while coming up with various harebrained schemes to make his businesses more efficient so he could sack workers, and his alcoholic aristocratic wife Lady Patience. The head of the Fairchilds was the stern "Red" Agnes, who spread militant socialist rhetoric around the Hardacre mine, mill and munitions factory, and her doltish, forelock-tugging husband George, who is dominated by his wife and his boss. In a twist, Agnes was also Bradley Hardacre's mistress.
