Double bill of fantasy action films. '300' (2006), adapted from Frank Miller's comic book series, is a modern retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC, when the 100,000 strong invading Persian Army of King Xerxes was held back in a narrow mountain pass by 300 Spartans. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) is given four days by Persia's King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) to lay down his arms and surrender. Rejecting the proposal, the battle ensues, and the Spartans are only defeated by the treachery of local shepherd Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan), who shows the Persians a secret route, enabling them to outflank their opponents.

Based on the novels by Winston Graham, this made-for-TV movie follows the highly acclaimed 1970s TV series telling the story of Cornish mine owner, Captain Ross Poldark (John Bowe). Ten years have passed from the ending of the original series and, in this feature length edition, Poldark is now a Westminster MP. While Poldark is based in London, his wife Demelza (Mel Martin) and their son Jeremy (Ioan Gruffud) battle to keep the family's mining interests alive. When the Tory government decide to continue the War with France, it spells disaster for his arch rival George Warleggan. Will Poldark be able to take advantage of Warleggan's misfortune and protect the livelihood of the Cornish communities? Meanwhile romance and intrigue are in the air, as Poldark's daughter Clowance is torn between the love of an aristocratic young man and a mysterious stranger, Stephen Cravenson.
