Three-part British drama starring Dawn Steele and Ronni Ancona. Following members of a Clydeside clan headed by Mary Corrigan (Steele and later June Watson), the programme follows three generations of the family over the course of one hundred years as they face some of the most trying circumstances in British political history including Bloody Friday of 1919 where workers marched through Glasgow demanding a 40-hour working week and the pandemonium of the miner's strike of 1984.

Cate Blanchett reprises her role as the 'Virgin Queen' in this sequel to the Oscar-nominated 'Elizabeth'. This time round Elizabeth has to contend with the rising power of Spain, as Philip II (Jordi Molla) readies an armada for invasion, intent on returning England to Catholic influence. While her trusty servant Sir Francis Walsingham (Geoffrey Rush) works tirelessly to protect her from numerous plots, Elizabeth discovers she has a potential weakness in her fondness for Sir Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen).
