Collection of all three Mighty Ducks adventures following the
fortunes of a very special ice hockey team. In 'The Mighty Ducks
Are the Champions' (1993) Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) is a
luckless yuppie forced to do community service after being caught
drink driving. His penance is to train one of the worst ice hockey
teams in the world. However, while Gordon tries to whip them into
shape, he learns from his new team that winning is not always
everything. In 'D2 - The Mighty Ducks' (1994), the action takes
place at the Junior Goodwill Games in LA, as Bombay is invited to
lead Team USA to victory over the favourites, Iceland, whilst also
having to cope with the distractions of an enveloping media circus.
In 'D3 - The Mighty Ducks' (1996), the Ducks are about to begin a
scholarship at a prestigious new school, which means a new,
no-nonsense coach (Jeffrey Nordling). An icy reception from the
school hockey team results in a loss in the Ducks' form. Can they
defeat the unbeaten senior team and regain their reputation?

allows him more and more power.

A remake of the 1947 'feel good' classic, telling the heart-warming
story of a young girl's desire for a fully-functional family,
complete with a father and a baby brother. The girl, Susan,
confides in Kris Kringle (Sir Richard Attenborough), the kindly old
man who is acting as the grotto Santa in the department store
managed by her mother. Kris Kringle, however, believes he is the
genuine Santa Claus and this devotion to the cause makes him very
popular indeed, leading to record profits for the store. This
annoys rival retailers so much that they try to discredit the
so-called Santa, leading eventually to a court case in which
Kringle and his lawyer try to prove that he is the real thing.

Joss Ackland, Roger Allam and Leslie Phillips star in this BBC
Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Victor Hugo's classic novel.
When poverty drives Jean Valjean to steal a loaf of bread from a
baker's window, it is an action that will haunt him for the rest of
his life. A citizen of post-revolutionary France, he is sentenced
to nineteen years' hard labour. On his release, his fortunes change
and he becomes a respectable businessman and member of society -
and yet his past continues to dog him in the form of the sadistic
Inspector Javert, who seems determined to pursue Valjean to the
grave. A student uprising is gaining momentum in Paris, and
barricades are being built around the city. Valjean's adopted
daughter, Cosette, has fallen in love with the young revolutionary
Marius, and the lives of all three are in peril unless they can
flee to safety. Some of the most significant moments in 19th
Century history form the backdrop for Victor Hugo's powerful story,
in which love and heroism march in the face of poverty and social
injustice.
