Toby Jones stars in this three-part BBC adaptation of John
Lanchester's novel. The drama centres around the residents of the
fictional Pepys Road in South London, where houses cost a small
fortune. Occupiers of the street vary from those who have lived
there since before the London property boom, including elderly
widow Petunia Howe (Gemma Jones), to the recently moved in
wealthier residents, including banker Roger Hunt (Jones). After all
of the street's residents receive mysterious postcards bearing the
message 'We want what you have', the interweaving connections
between them begin to unravel.

Sharon Maguire directs this third instalment of the romantic comedy
series based on the characters created by Helen Fielding. Renée
Zellweger reprises her role as Bridget Jones, the quirky
forty-something who is learning to embrace adulthood. Following her
break up with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), Bridget decides to focus on
her career as a top news producer while also attempting to enjoy
the single life with friends. Her love life takes another turn when
she meets suave American Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey), who helps
her out after getting into a spot of bother at a music festival.
With a new relationship flourishing and everything seemingly under
control, it's not long before there's a hitch - she discovers she's
pregnant. Unsure if the father is long-term love interest Darcy, or
newcomer Qwant, Bridget is yet again faced with making some awkward
and ultimately life-changing decisions. The cast also includes
Sally Phillips, Shirley Henderson and Emma Thompson.

growing body of knowledge. This second volume of contributions from

care, for persons with dementia. Volume 2 of Care-Giving in
Dementia provides a rich source of information on most recent

sufferers and their families. Key themes in Volume 2 are: the
subjective experience of dementia the provision of care for family
carers differing cultural perspectives of dementia the crucial
importance of life-history information for understanding a person's
reaction to their illness. Chapters on the search for an ethical
framework and the best environment within which to provide care are

Dementia in Close-Up is a clear and practical guide to dementia and
the world of the dementia sufferer.
Bere Miesen assumes no medical or specialist knowledge and uses
first hand accounts and real-life examples to examiners on patterns
of behaviour and responses of sufferers and their carers. He
focuses on the complex and varied relationships between the
sufferer, their family and professional carers, and explores the
conflict that can sometimes be engendered by dependency, fear and
sustained closeness.
Going beyond the purely medical descriptions of dementia, Dementia
in Close-Up strives to give families and health professionals the
means to form caring and rewarding relationships and to help
everyone involved.

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.
