Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman star in this sumptuous Paris-set period drama based on the novella by Guy de Maupassant. Georges Duroy (Pattinson) is a suave and handsome young journalist using his wits and powers of manipulation to make his way in 1890s Paris. In order to ascend the social ladder, Duroy seduces a string of influential society beauties including Madeleine Forestier (Thurman), Virginie Walters (Kristen Scott Thomas) and Clotilde de Marelle (Christina Ricci). His peasant background has soon become a distant memory as he achieves dizzying success both in his career and in fashionable society.

The complete first and second series of the thriller following a group of 40-something men who inadvertently become involved in crime. In the first series, Baxter (John Simm), Rick (Marc Warren), Woody (Max Beesley) and Quinn (Philip Glenister) go on holiday to Majorca where they meet their wealthy friend, Alvo (Ben Chaplin), who has gone into early retirement. It soon becomes clear that Alvo is mentally unstable and, when he steals a boat, the situation gets quickly out of hand. They soon find themselves caught up in a web of corruption involving murder and millions of euros in drug money. In the second series, the friends leave Majorca with the drug money and find themselves in Ibiza after boarding the wrong ferry where they decide to start a new life. Rick suggests they gamble the tainted money in order to get clean notes but they soon realise they have made a new enemy when their rental car blows up. Will they be able to survive another troublesome situation and find the new life they are hoping for?

The complete second series of the BBC sitcom that follows the relationships of staff and pupils at Greybridge Secondary School. The arrival at the school of the new French teacher Miss Postern (Catherine Tate) causes disillusioned deputy head of chemistry Mr Church (David Walliams) to change his mind about leaving. His amorous intentions soon face competition, however, in the shape of the school's resident alpha male, PE teacher Mr Gunn (Philip Glenister), and clinically depressed geography teacher Mr Barber (Steve Speirs). The episodes are: 'Which Way Now?', 'Happy Birthday Sarah', 'Daddy Gunn', 'The Inspection', 'Anti-Bullying' and 'Episode 6'.

Were the 70s and 80s all they were cracked up to be? Or have we never had it so good? Philip Glenister--one of our best-loved actors--takes a swig of Babycham, jumps on his space hopper, and heads off down memory lane to find out. Which Bond was better--Roger Moore or Daniel Craig? Was life better when we were served lashings of gravy, instead of a "drizzle of jus"? And--most important of all--have Curly Wurlys really got smaller, or have we all just got bigger? Philip Glenister's "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" is a hilarious and affectionate look at the good, the bad, and the ugly from three very different decades, that will have you laughing (and cringing) with recognition. If you're going on a nostalgia trip, you couldn't ask for a better guide.
