Television adaptation of the novel by Jane Austen. Catherine
Moreland (Felicity Jones), a spirited young beauty from the
country, enters into the depraved society of Bath with dreams and
fantasies sparked by her love
Triple bill of television adaptations based on novels by Jane
Austen. In 'Mansfield Park' (2007), at 10, Fanny Price (Billie
Piper) goes to live at Mansfield Park, the estate of her aunt's
husband, Sir Thomas (Douglas Hodge). Clever, studious, and a writer
with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass, Fanny becomes
especially close to her cousin Edmund (Blake Ritson), Thomas's
younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as well as a keen
mind and comes to the attention of a neighbour, Henry Crawford
(Joseph Beattie). Sir Thomas promotes this match, but to his
displeasure, Fanny has a mind of her own, asking Henry to prove
himself worthy. In 'Northanger Abbey' (2007), Catherine Moreland
(Felicity Jones), a spirited young beauty from the country, enters
into the depraved society of Bath with dreams and fantasies sparked
by her love of gothic romance novels. There she meets two men vying
for her affection - the dashing and jealous John Thorpe (William
Beck) and the gentle and sincere Henry Tilney (J.J. Field). Despite
the advice of her mischievous new friend Isabella (Carey Mulligan),
Catherine treats neither as more than a dear friend. That is until
Catherine accepts an invitation to Northanger Abbey from Henry's
grave and severe father, General Tilney (Liam Cunningham). In
'Emma' (1997), Kate Beckinsale stars as the eponymous heroine who
is intent on finding partners for everyone - but only if she thinks
they are the right coupling. Her efforts create confusion, and the
outspoken Mr Knightly pours scorn on her matchmaking - although he
may have ulterior motives for doing so.
Collection of three feature-length episodes from the TV series
based on Agatha Christie's classic murder mystery novels. In
'Murder On the Orient Express' the Belgian moustache-twirling
detective, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), is travelling from
Istanbul to England aboard the Orient Express when a man, who
appears to be a stranger to the other passengers, is killed. While
the train is caught in a snowdrift Poirot attempts to reveal who is
responsible. In 'Death On the Nile' (2004) young heiress Linnet
Doyle (Emily Blunt) is murdered while enjoying a pleasure cruise
down the Nile with her new husband, Simon Doyle (J.J. Feild),
aboard a luxury liner occupied by a diverse set of extremely
wealthy passengers. Widely disliked and envied, the young woman is
soon discovered by Poirot to have had plenty of enemies, many of
whom turn out to be on board... In 'The ABC Murders' an anonymous
serial killer has been taking his victims in alphabetical order.
The police believe the murders to be the work of a lunatic but
Poirot soon realises the killer is much more methodical than they
first thought...
