Les Diables

Jul 16, 1971
Le film retrace les grandes lignes de l'affaire des possédées de Loudun. Au 17ème siècle, en France, Richelieu veut convaincre Louis XIII d'en finir avec les gouvernements autonomes des petites villes de province. Loudun est une ville fortifiée du Poitou, dans laquelle catholiques et protestants vivent en bonne entente sous l'autorité bienveillante de l'abbé Grandier, un curé catholique charismatique et progressiste. Sa popularité, ainsi que sa réputation de prêtre libertin et séducteur, lui vaut des inimitiés parmi les notables locaux. La mère supérieure du couvent tout proche développe une attirance obsessionnelle pour le personnage. Les sœurs ursulines sombrent dans une forme d'hystérie collective, se disant possédées par des démons et par l'esprit de Grandier qu'elles accusent d'être en commerce avec le Diable. Ce sera le point de départ d'une cabale, menée par les autorités religieuses et civiles, contre le prêtre qui s'était ouvertement opposé aux projets de Richelieu.

On the Buses

May 20, 1973
On the Buses is a British comedy series created by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney, broadcast in the United Kingdom from 1969 to 1973. The writers' previous successes with The Rag Trade and Meet the Wife were for the BBC, but the corporation rejected On the Buses, not seeing much comedy potential in a bus depot as a setting. The comedy partnership turned to a friend, Frank Muir, Head of Entertainment at London Weekend Television, who loved the idea; the show was accepted and despite a poor critical reception became a hit with viewers.

Tripper's Day

Oct 29, 1984
Tripper's Day is a British television sitcom produced by Thames Television for ITV. The plot involved Leonard Rossiter as Norman Tripper, a Northern manager assigned to a London supermarket with a problematic staff. The programme is largely remembered for the negative critical reviews it received, and mainly for the fact that it was Rossiter's final television work, the actor dying between the broadcast of the second and third episodes. The series was brought back two years later with Bruce Forsyth in the lead role, under the new title Slinger's Day. In Canada and United States the series had a remake under the title Check it Out!, whilst in Sweden, comical duo Stefan & Krister starred in Full Frys, a TV series largely based on Tripper's Day and Check it Out!.
