The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall:
Wuthering Heights:
Richard Jordan and Anthony Perkins star in this made-for-TV adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel. Jean Valjean (Jordan) is imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread for his sister's starving family. Soon afterwards he escapes and is presumed dead by all except police inspector Javert (Perkins), who pursues him relentlessly throughout his lifetime. In later years, when Valjean becomes involved in the French Revolution through his adopted daughter Cosette (Caroline Langrise)'s love for insurrectionist leader Marius (Christopher Guard), his quest for redemption comes to a heady climax.
First shown as part of the BBC's Play For Today series in 1980, The Flipside of Dominick Hide has been acclaimed as one of the small screen's finest science fiction stories. The immediate popularity of the play led, two years later, to an equally well-received sequel.
The Flipside of Dominick Hide
Another Flip for Dominick
Complete second series about the maverick judge, played by Martin Shaw, who has made it to the High Court without the help of the old boys' network and who struggles against an overly-bureaucratic system in his search for justice and truth. In this series a call girl is murdered and an Arab Sheikh is in the frame but the government wants it kept quiet; a young man with learning disabilities is charged with murder but there's no evidence; an old lover rekindles her interest in Deed but it's soon apparent that she needs a judge more than a lover and a child's parents go against his wishes and put him through a heart transplant and he dies on the slab. Episodes are: 'Political Expediency', 'Abuse of Power', 'Nobody's Fool' and 'Everyone's Child'.
Ken Hutchison stars as the brooding and tormented lover Heathcliff in this BBC television adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic novel. Adopted as a boy by the kindly Mr Earnshaw (John Collin), Heathcliff comes to live with the family at their home, Wuthering Heights, in the Yorkshire moors. He soon falls in love with Earnshaw's headstrong daughter Cathy (Kay Adshead), a doomed relationship that plunges them both into despair when Cathy agrees to marry her rich neighbour Edgar Linton (David Robb). Tortured by his love, the dark and sinister Heathcliff refuses to relinquish his emotional hold on Cathy, and does everything in his power to destroy the lives of her and her family.
Focusing on the most important discoveries from the world of the ancient Egyptians, this fascinating series journeys back in time to explore three legends: Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's treasure-laden tomb, the Great Belzoni's finds from the reign of Ramesses II and Jean-Francois Champollion's deciphering of the hieroglyphs. Discover the secrets, the myths and the truths behind one of the greatest civilisations in history - a world nearly lost beneath the sand.
