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.

of the street's residents receive mysterious postcards bearing the
message 'We want what you have', the interweaving connections
between them begin to unravel.

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.

In 1714 Parliament offer a £20,000 prize for anyone who can provide
an accurate means of measuring longitude at sea. John Harrison
(Michael Gambon) flies in the face of popular opinion by saying
that the stars do not provide the answer, and provides his own
solution with the invention of a mechanical clock. However, it
takes Harrison forty years to prove his theory, and he is
eventually forgotten in the mists of time. Centuries later, Robert
Gould (Jeremy Irons) attempts to restore Harrison's reputation by
tracking down and repairing the four clocks he originally
constructed.
