Falling

"...as mature, unshowy and skilful as its leading actors... Classy stuff..." - The Observer

"...seductive, scary..." - The Guardian

A romantic spiral of obsession and deceit!

When London novelist Daisy Langrish (Penelope Wilton - Pride & Prejudice) flees from a damaging marriage to her newly acquired Yorkshire cottage to write, she warily accepts an offer from her seemingly polite, respectful neighbour Henry Kent (Michael Kitchen - Foyle's War) to beautify the property's neglected garden.

Henry considers himself an expert on women and with flattery, service and seduction, he knows how to use them... and abuse them. Under his charming veneer, Henry carefully conceals his desire for erotica, a disdain for employment and his penchant for vodka. Falling into Henry's obsessive trap, Daisy can only wish she had heeded her own intuition when love suddenly turns deadly! approx. 94 mins. col.

Kavanagh QC, Set 1

The fact that John Thaw was able to make his eponymous character in Kavanagh Q.C. stand out as a unique personality distinct from the superficially similar Inspector Morse says much about his understated skills as an actor. Thaw brought his trademark mixture of curmudgeonly belligerence and gruff sensitivity to Kavanagh, but the barrister--who first appeared on British television screens in 1995 while the Oxford detective was still alive and kicking--is no polished-up Morse. He is far more worldly, is married, and has a family. And although he is often troubled by his cases, he is never afraid to play the system. He knows that there are devious, even superficial lawyers, some of them in his own chambers, whom he must face across the courtroom, but he acknowledges them as an unavoidable aspect of the world in which he works. The plots are often convoluted, but Kavanagh's wielding of the trusty sword of truth is always irresistible, particularly when the case involves some kind of high level government aberration. The four episodes included in Set 1 are "Nothing But the Truth," "Heartland," "A Family Affair," and "The Sweetest Thing." --Piers Ford
