Box set containing the Urquhart trilogy: three series based on the
bestselling novels by Michael Dobbs, starring Ian Richardson as
corrupt politician Francis Urquhart. In 'House of Cards', Urquhart
is a long-serving MP who has his eye on the top job, and will stop
at nothing to fulfil his ambition. As the trusted Chief Whip, he
has insider knowledge that could bring down the already precarious
Prime Minister, and in order to unleash his power he draws innocent
young journalist Mattie Storin (Susannah Harker) into his schemes.
'To Play the King' continues to follow Urquhart's career. Having
been made Prime Minister at the end of the last series after
murdering an investigative reporter, he now crosses swords with the
newly crowned monarch (Michael Kitchen) - a passionate man with
firm liberal beliefs on the future of the country. In the final
part of the trilogy, 'The Final Cut', Urquhart is well on his way
to becoming Britain's longest-serving Prime Minister, and is
starting to plan his retirement. He still has the Cyprus peace
treaty to tie up, however, and the dark secrets from his past are
beginning to come back to haunt him.

realise that Hamp is innocent, shell-shocked and a little simple.
The court martial is unsympathetic; Hamp is sentenced to death, but
his fellow soldiers are unwilling to shoot...

A collection of five Hammer horror films from the 1960s. In 'The
Nanny' (1965), a nanny (Bette Davis) is hired to look after a
ten-year-old who has just returned from a mental institution. The
boy's mother has just been poisoned and he believes the nanny is to
blame. When his aunt arrives and hears the boy's accusations she
sides with the nanny, claiming the boy is making it all up.
'Dracula: Prince of Darkness' (1965) is the sequel to the 1958 film
'Dracula'. Four English tourists are holidaying in the Carpathians
when they meet the unconventional Father Sandor (Andrew Keir) at an
inn. He warns them to avoid the local castle if they value their
lives, but the next day the quartet find themselves stranded in the
mountains after their driver abandons them. When a driverless
carriage arrives they board it, intending to travel to the nearest
village. However, the carriage instead takes them to the very
castle which Sandor warned them against, where they are welcomed by
Klove (Philip Latham), sinister manservant of Count Dracula
(Christopher Lee). 'Quatermass and the Pit' (1967) is the Hammer
version of the popular TV series. When prehistoric skulls and the
remains of an alien spaceship are discovered in the bowels of
London's Underground during an excavation, a weird and powerful
force is unleashed, and Professor Quatermass (Keir) is called in to
investigate. 'Frankenstein Created Woman' is the sequel to the 1964
film 'Evil of Frankenstein'. The Baron (Peter Cushing) has taken up
residence with well-meaning inebriate Doctor Hertz (Thorley
Walters). When Hertz successfully revives Frankenstein after
freezing his body, the latter deduces that the human spirit does
not leave the body after death, and can therefore be transmuted
into another form. He gets the chance to prove his theory when his
young assistant, Hans, is hanged for a murder he did not commit,
and Hans' disfigured lover, Christina, commits suicide in despair.
After performing cosmetic surgery on Christina, the two scientists
successfully transfer Hans's spirit into her body. However, Hans
now sets out to take revenge on those responsible for his death.
Finally, in 'The Devil Rides Out' (1967), the Duc de Richleau (Lee)
is concerned by the disappearance of his young friend Simon
(Patrick Mower) from the social scene. Accompanied by former army
colleague Rex (Leon Greene), de Richleau discovers that Simon has
joined a group of Devil worshippers, led by the evil Mocata
(Charles Gray). Through de Richleau's attempts to wrest Simon from
Mocata's influence, Rex becomes romantically involved with Tanith,
another member of the cult.

Mark Whitebridge, an ex-Catholic priest, is in Bydgoszcz Poland,
teaching English as a Foreign Language. He meets Kasia, a
journalist, and member of an amateur song and dance troupe. They
start to go out with each other. In the meantime, Mark is busy
helping tidy up a manuscript from an anti-cultist author, Jerzy
Kowalski, who once belonged to the notorious Archers of the
Apocalypse cult, more popularly known as the Insistarians, who
believe that the antichrist has travelled back in time to their own
age to bring forward the time of the apocalypse. Then Kowalski is
murdered and so Inspector Gorski starts an investigation into the
murder. Kasia and Mark also do their own investigation, to the
understandable chagrin of Gorski. The murderer could be a number of
people, Mark himself has a motive, he could be framing the
Insistarians because his ex-wife ran away to join the cult. After a
series of adventures, the truth is revealed.
