Complete second series about the maverick judge, played by Martin Shaw, who has made it to the High Court without the help of the old boys' network and who struggles against an overly-bureaucratic system in his search for justice and truth. In this series a call girl is murdered and an Arab Sheikh is in the frame but the government wants it kept quiet; a young man with learning disabilities is charged with murder but there's no evidence; an old lover rekindles her interest in Deed but it's soon apparent that she needs a judge more than a lover and a child's parents go against his wishes and put him through a heart transplant and he dies on the slab. Episodes are: 'Political Expediency', 'Abuse of Power', 'Nobody's Fool' and 'Everyone's Child'.
Welcome to Cornwall, near the turn of the nineteenth century, where an air of celebration pervades. However, even as Admiral Lord Nelson defeats the French fleet in the battle of the Nile, the situation between the recently returned Ross Poldark and George Warleggan is no nearer a conclusion. And things at home aren't much better for Ross, for Demelza is playing a very dangerous game with Lord Falmouth's nephew, Hugh Armitage. A ride on the cliffs, a stroll by the sea, a stolen kiss on the beach. All innocent enough, but how will Ross react when he finds out the truth? He'll possibly react in the same way as to the unwanted advances of that Regency dandy Captain Adderley, and settle the matter with pistols, at dawn. But Hugh Armitage is not long for this world, and by the looks of things, neither is Pascoe's bank, Ross's lifelong supporter. Who could be behind its demise? Who indeed?
All four episodes of the four-part ITV drama mini-series based on the novel by Martina Cole. Tom Hardy stars as Freddie Jackson, who is released from prison in 1984 having served a four-year sentence for armed robbery. His wife Jackie (Kierston Wareing), who has been waiting for him on the outside in the mistaken belief that that he wants to go straight, soon finds herself disappointed: Freddie is in fact raring to get back into the game and has set his sights on becoming top dog in the East End underworld. Meanwhile his younger cousin Jimmy (Shaun Evans) is hot on his heels, and dreams of riding Freddie's coat-tails to rise through the ranks of the crime empire. |
