Dans un petit village minier du Nord‐Est de l’Angleterre, Billy, 11 ans, découvre avec stupeur qu’un cours de danse partage désormais les mêmes locaux que son club de boxe. D’abord effaré, il devient peu à peu fasciné par la magie de la gestuelle du ballet, activité pourtant trop peu virile au regard de son père et de son frère Tony, mineurs en grève. Billy abandonne les gants de cuir pour assister discrètement aux leçons de danse professées par Mme Wilkinson. Repérant immédiatement un talent potentiel, elle retrouve une nouvelle énergie devant les espoirs que constitue Billy. Les frustrations larvées explosent au grand jour quand son père et son frère découvrent que Billy a dépensé l’argent consacré au cours de boxe pour des cours de danse. Partagé entre une famille en situation de crise et un professeur de ballet têtu, le jeune garçon embarque alors dans un voyage à la découverte de lui‐même.

Cette série met en scène les enquêtes de l'inspecteur William Frost, plus connu sous le nom de Jack, dans la ville imaginaire de Denton. Ce veuf quinquagénaire, brillant policier de l'ancienne école, n'a pas son pareil pour résoudre les affaires les plus complexes. Il a reçu la plus haute distinction civile, la croix de Georges, pour avoir été imprudemment blessé par un homme armé alors qu'il sortait d'un bar et était ivre, le jour où il a appris que sa femme, qu'il comptait quitter, était atteinte d'un cancer en phase terminale. Souvent en conflit avec ses supérieurs, désordonné et allergique à la paperasse, il est réputé pour son fichu caractère. Bourru et prenant parfois quelque liberté avec les règlements ou les procédures, il fait toutefois preuve d'empathie avec les victimes et a bon cœur. Il est assisté dans ses enquêtes par différents sergents détectives qui apportent leur point de vue particulier à la résolution de l'affaire. L'humour anglais et le ressort comique de la série sont inscrits dans les relations entre Frost et le bureaucratique Superintendant Mullett.

The classic BBC dramatisation of Tolstoy's epic story of love and loss set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Anthony Hopkins heads the cast as Pierre Bezuhov (a role for which he won the 1972 Best Actor BAFTA); Morag Hood is the impulsive and beautiful Natasha Rostova; Alan Dobie is the dour but heroic Andrei Bolkonsky; and David Swift is Napoleon, whose decision to invade Russia in 1812 has far-reaching consequences for Pierre and the Rostov and Bolkonsky families. The twenty-part serial was the vision of producer David Conroy whose principle aim was to transfer the rich characterisation and incident from Tolstoy's greatest novel to a television drama. Scripted by Jack Pulman and directed by John Davies, Conroy's War And Peace boasts superb acting, award-winning design (1972 Best Design BAFTA) and breathtaking battle sequences which were filmed in former Yugoslavia.
