Pleasure has its price.
Following the murder of Sir George Howard and Justice Cunliffe, turmoil plagues London's most infamous Madams - bitter enemies, Margaret Wells and Lydia Quigley. Their war for control of the city's bawdy houses intensifies and when Margaret’s daughter, Charlotte, places herself in the home of Lydia Quigley, their toxic and deep-seated rivalry is taken to a dangerous new level.
The arrival of the alluring and wealthy socialite Lady Isabella Fitz William on the scene may be Charlotte's lifeline, but her poise and position in society covers a dark, scandalous past. It's all pleasure and pain in Season 2 of Harlots.
Collection of six action adventures from the Marvel Studios. In 'Iron
Man' (2008) Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) is the billionaire owner of
Stark Industries, a corporation that specialises in weapons
development. When Tony is kidnapped by terrorists in Afghanistan, he is
made to construct a devastating weapon.
Instead, however, he builds a high-tech suit of armour and uses it to
escape from captivity. When Stark discovers a conspiracy that could
have serious repercussions for the whole world, he uses his new
invention to try and stop the villains and save the world. In 'The
Incredible Hulk' (2008) scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) searches
for the cure to his life-transforming alter ego.
Scouring the globe, searching for the antidote that will prevent him
from changing into The Hulk, Banner is forced to keep a low profile,
lest the military authorities that seek to exploit his powers finally
catch up with him. In an ironic twist, he longs to be with the only
woman he has ever loved, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler), who just happens to be
the daughter of his chief military adversary, General Thaddeus
'Thunderbolt' Ross (William Hurt). Having finally decided to return to
civilisation, Banner discovers that there's an even bigger and more
dangerous enemy on the block - The Abomination (Tim Roth).
A primal beast even more powerful than The Hulk, this new foe, the
result of a foreign agent being exposed to an even larger dose of the
radiation that created The Hulk, is unable to revert back to human
form. Now the stage is set for a titanic battle of the two
heavyweights, with New York the setting for the ultimate showdown. In
'Iron Man 2' (2010) Downey Jr reprises his role as Tony Stark, the
billionaire industrialist also known as armoured superhero Iron Man.
With the world now aware of his dual identity, Stark faces pressure
from the government, the press and the public to share his technology
with the military. With his secretary Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) by
his side, Tony fights to protect his suit by forging new alliances and
confronting powerful new enemies. 'Thor' (2011), moving between
present-day Earth and the fantastic realm of Asgard, tells the story of
the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior god
whose reckless actions rekindle an ancient feud among the deities.
As a punishment, Thor is cast out of Asgard and forced to live on Earth
among humankind. There, he falls in love with scientist Jane Foster
(Natalie Portman) and, as the darkest forces of Asgard are sent to
invade Earth, he eventually learns what it means to be a real hero. In
'Captain America: The First Avenger' (2011) Chris Evans stars as Steve
Rogers, a volunteer for a top-secret military research project who
signed up after being deemed physically unfit to enlist in the U.S.
Army during the Second World War. The experiment transforms him into
super-soldier Captain America, who - along with sidekick Bucky Barnes
(Sebastian Stan) - takes on the mighty power of Hitler's henchman Red
Skull (Hugo Weaving). Finally, in 'Avengers Assemble' (2012), Nick Fury
(Samuel L.
Jackson) and the international S.H.I.E.L.D. agency must act swiftly to
form The Avengers, a team of ultimate superhero defenders, when Earth
comes under attack from Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his multi-faceted
army. This all-action supergroup comprises Iron Man, Thor, Captain
America, The Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)
and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) - but will their combined powers be
sufficient to overcome the formidable Loki and save the Earth from the
clutches of evil?

them find the Mountain of Doom. Meanwhile Aragorn, Legolas and
Gimli search for the hobbits Merry and Pippin in the Kingdom of
Rohan, which is currently being attacked by Saruman's orc armies.
Gandalf returns as Gandalf the White to remind Aragorn of his
destiny to unite the people of Rohan with Gondor. Whilst the
