Henry IV, Part 2 - Live at Shakespeare's Globe
10
Hotspur is dead and Prince Hal has proved his mettle on the battlefield, but King Henry IV lies dying and the rebels show no sign of surrendering. Even Sir John Falstaff is forced out of the taverns to raise a militia, but will his attachment to Hal be rewarded with promotion and the life of ease he feels sure he deserves? Henry IV Part 2 includes some of the greatest moments in Shakespeare: the deathbed scene of the old King, when Hal contemplates the crown; and Hal's devastating rejection of Falstaff himself. Roger Allam ('a Falstaff to treasure' - The Times) won the 2011 Best Actor Olivier Award for his performance in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. 'Jamie Parker (Prince Hal) is 'terrific to watch' (London Evening Standard); he appeared in As You Like It at the Globe in 2009, and was also in The History Boys at the National Theatre, on Broadway and on film.

Judge John Deed

Jan 18, 2007
Judge John Deed is a British legal drama television series produced by the BBC in association with One-Eyed Dog for BBC One. It was created by G.F. Newman and stars Martin Shaw as Sir John Deed, a High Court judge who tries to seek real justice in the cases before him. It also stars Jenny Seagrove as the barrister Jo Mills, frequently the object of Deed's desire. A pilot episode was broadcast on 9 January 2001, followed by the first full series on 26 November 2001. The sixth and last series concluded on 18 January 2007. The programme then went on an indefinite break after Shaw became involved in another television programme, and he and Seagrove expressed a wish for the format of the series to change before they filmed new episodes. By 2009, the series had officially been cancelled. The six series produced make it the longest-running BBC legal drama. The factual accuracy of the series is often criticised by legal professionals and journalists; many of the decisions taken by Deed are unlikely to happen in a real court. The romanticised vision of the court system created by Newman caused a judge to issue a warning to a jury not to let the series influence their view of trials—referring to an episode where Deed flouts rules when called up for jury duty. Another episode led to complaints about biased and incorrect information about the MMR vaccine, leading the BBC to ban repeats of it in its original form. All six series have been released on DVD in the UK.

Les condamnées

Dec 20, 2006
L'action se déroule dans l'aile G de la prison pour femmes de Larkhall. Nous suivons le quotidien des condamnées mais aussi celui des membres du personnel. La série met en lumière les difficultés que représente la vie dans une prison pour femmes, autant au niveau pratique qu'humain. Elle n'hésite pas à aborder un certain nombre de thèmes polémiques comme par exemple le fait que les autorités britanniques continuent d'utiliser des gardiens de sexe masculin dans les ailes féminines ou bien les traumatismes liés à la séparation des détenues d'avec leurs enfants pourtant parfois nés en prison pendant le temps de leur incarcération. Les conflits entre les détenues et les gardiens sont le quotidien de Larkhall et les directeurs qui se succèdent doivent gérer aussi bien les dérapages des gardiens que les humeurs des détenues. Les conflits liés aux abus de pouvoir exercés sur les détenues ou entre les membres du personnel perturbent régulièrement la gestion de la prison.
