A collection of films by Liverpudlian filmmaker Terence Davies. 'The Terence Davies Trilogy' comprises three short films: 'Children' (1976), 'Madonna and the Child' (1980) and 'Death and Transfiguration' (1983). Taken together, the three films trace the life of Robert Tucker, the director's alter ego, from childhood to the grave. 'Distant Voices, Still Lives' (1988) looks back on Davies's working class upbringing in post-war Liverpool. Told in flashback, the films begins and ends with family weddings, held several years apart, and is scored with songs from the period. 'The Long Day Closes' (1992) traces moments in the childhood of Bud (Leigh McCormack), a Liverpudlian schoolboy in 1955. Plucked from his cosy home when he is sent to his new Catholic school, the film looks at his loneliness as teachers and pupils pick on him and his increasing isolation at home as he hovers between childhood and adolescence. His beloved film idols and screen stories keep him company in his imagination but in the real world he feels increasingly like a misfit. 'Of Time and the City' (2008) is a highly personal portrait of Davies's native city, Liverpool, and shares his musings on his relationship with the place where he was born and lived until his late twenties. Composed largely of atmospheric archive footage accompanied by Davies's lyrical narration and a melancholy, nostalgic soundtrack, the film seamlessly intersperses Davies's personal memories and experiences with observations about the history and culture of this iconic city.

Double bill of BBC adaptations of M.R. James's ghost story 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad', written in 1904. In 'Whistle and I'll Come to You' (1968) Michael Hordern plays Professor Parkin who heads to a hotel on the east coast of England where he comes across a bone whistle while out on a walk. He takes it back to the hotel with him but that night hears strange noises in his room and, despite his dismissal of the supernatural, he is soon faced with more mysterious goings-on. In 'Whistle and I'll Come to You' (2010) John Hurt stars as James Parkin who, in this version, is a retired astronomer taking a much needed break from caring for his ailing wife. After finding a ring while wandering through the coastal resort he finds himself experiencing increasingly frightening and seemingly paranormal activity.

Jess (Charlotte Coleman) is the adopted daughter of an over-enthusiastic evangelist (Geraldine McEwan), whose views on life have been shaped by Bible classes and religious radio shows. When Jess grows up she meets Melanie and their close friendship turns to passion - something that her horrified mother and local pastor believe is the work of the Devil, and they set out to take drastic action to save Jess from the evil temptation. This adaptation of Jeanette Winterson's bestselling novel won three BAFTA awards, including Best Actress (McEwan) and Best Drama Series.
