Personal Services

Feb 12, 1987
The story of the rise of a madame of a suburban brothel catering to older men, inspired by the real experiences of Cynthia Payne. The story follows Christine Painter as the down-at-heel waitress who, with the help of prostitute Shirley and cross-dressing Wing Commander Morten, seeks to up her earnings by turning her suburban home into a brothel. Before long she and her girls are chaining up judges, spanking Generals and attending to the needs of Honourable Members. Christine sees herself as providing a vital service to these harmless pervs and when finally the house is busted and the case comes to court, it's fair to say that the presiding judge isn't unfamiliar with her work.

Margaret

Mar 26, 2009
A detailed and compelling portrait of one of the most formidable characters in British politics as she faces her final days in power. The year is 1990 and Margaret Thatcher's support within the government is wavering - her hold on the premiership hangs in the balance. Then, long-serving politician Sir Geoffrey Howe resigns over Thatcher's attitude to Europe. His resignation speech sparks a chain of events that leads to the overthrow of Britain's first woman prime minister. This modern dramatic tragedy illustrates the strengths and fatal flaws of this iconic woman more clearly than ever before and reveals how the very aspects of her character that helped her secure power are the ones that ensured her downfall. Drama starring Lindsay Duncan.

Sur la route de Nairobi

En 1940, la jeune Lady Diana Broughton et son époux (de trente ans plus âgé qu'elle), Sir Henry 'Jock' Broughton, s'établissent au Kenya, se souciant peu — tout comme la petite communauté britannique qu'ils rejoignent — de la guerre en cours. La vie coloniale se partage entre mondanités, courses de chevaux, intrigues sentimentales, les femmes sont nymphomanes, les hommes coureurs de jupons et gros buveurs. Diana fait alors la connaissance de Josslyn 'Joss' Hay, comte d'Erroll, un des membres de cette communauté, et devient sa maîtresse...en pensant pouvoir compter sur l'indulgence et la compréhension de son vieil époux. Son erreur d'appréciation mènera au drame.(Wikipedia)

Dangerfield

Nov 19, 1999
Dangerfield is a British drama series about a small town doctor / police surgeon, which ran for 6 series, between 1995 and 1999. Originally Nigel Le Vaillant played the central role, but this character later left the series, the focus switching to his replacement, played by Nigel Havers. The BBC decided to end the series in November 1999 when Nigel Havers announced his decision to quit. The BBC felt viewers would not find the series credible if the main character was changed for a second time. The show like a number of other BBC dramas of the 1980s and 1990s also featured a number of borderline fantasy episodes. These included "Tricks", "Angel" and "Haunted". The TV trailers for Dangerfield were heavily parodied by The Fast Show in which the character was called Monkfish and would appear as a tough uncompromising Doctor, Policeman, vet and even as an interior designer with titles mixed in with other BBC shows of the time.
