Private Notes
Story of Lawrence, a civil servant working for the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Ken Stott), who falls in love with Gina, a young woman whom he meets by chance in a London café. Lawrence takes Gina to a G8 summit in Reykjavík, Iceland, where she confronts the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (Corin Redgrave) over the issue of third world debt and poverty in Africa, much to Lawrence's embarrassment and the anger of his employers. However, he realises that she is right and tries to help persuade the Chancellor and others at the summit to do something about the issues concerned.
Adaptation of the classic ghost story by M R James in which Fanshawe is sent to authenticate the collection of his boss's old school friend and finds nothing much of interest except an 'odd couple' squire and servant, a pair of binoculars and a gruesome local legend.
Beautiful and haunting adaptation of MR James's ghost story, starring Edward Petherbridge as a 17th-century squire haunted by a curse that his great uncle brought upon the household.
The Quatermass Experiment is a 2005 live television film remake of the 1953 television series of the same name by Nigel Kneale.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Henshall) is the author of the famous Sherlock Holmes books. This movie shows us how Doyle came up with the idea of the 'super detective' and how he uses the techniques of his mentor Joseph Bell (Cox) in his books. After his father dies, Doyle has to take care of his wife Reeves, who is very ill. This becomes tricky when he falls in love.
