Three digitally remastered Doctor Who stories from the 1960s, '70s
and '80s. In the three-part 'The Seeds of Death' (1969), the Doctor
(Patrick Troughton), Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Zoe (Wendy Padbury)
travel to a moon relay station to find out why T-Mat, a form of
instant travel, has broken down. There they discover a race of Ice
Warriors, planning to use T-Mat to carry seed pods to earth which
will produce a deadly fungus to suck the air dry of oxygen. The
Doctor has to foil the Ice Warriors' plan, avoiding the deadly pods
along the way. In the four-part 'Carnival of Monsters' (1972), the
Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and Jo (Katy Manning) find themselves arrested
as stowaways after the TARDIS makes an unplanned arrival on the
S.S. Bernice, en route to India in 1926. However, the ship is in
fact trapped in a miniscope - the mechanical peepshow of
intergalactic showman Vorg (Leslie Dwyer). When the Scope is
impounded by officials on the planet Inter-Minor, many of the
creatures contained within get loose, including the monstrous
Drashigs. In the four-part 'Resurrection of the Daleks' (1983), the
Daleks are once again seeking their creator, Davros (Terry Molloy),
to discover a cure for the Movellan virus. Mercenaries free Davros
from his prison ship, but the Kaled scientist has other ideas, and
soon a Dalek civil war is underway. On 20th-century Earth the
Doctor (Peter Davison), Tegan (Janet Fielding) and Turlough (Mark
Strickson) are caught up between the rival factions and the Earth
rebels, but they are already part of a larger plan to destroy
Gallifrey.

James Mason stars in this family drama set in Bolton in the late
1960s. Love and humour prevail as strict working class father Rafe
Crompton (Mason) and his wife Daisy (Diana Coupland) struggle to
cope with the ups and downs of bringing up their four children -
Hilda (Susan George), Harold (Rodney Bewes), Florence (Hannah
Gordon) and Wilfred (Len Jones) - against the backdrop of a rapidly
changing society.
A collection of four classic films starring Julie Christie. In
'Billy Liar' (1963), undertaker's clerk Billy (Tom Courtenay)
escapes his dreary small town existence in a 1950s Northern town by
living in a fantasy world where he realises his ambitions. When his
job, unsympathetic working class family and two fiancees threaten
to become too much, he meets the fashionable Liz (Christie), who
offers him his one chance for real escape. Christie won an Oscar
for her role in 'Darling' (1965). In the film she plays Diana
Scott, an ambitious model determined to make it to the top. Using
her sexuality, she manipulates powerful men, but in so doing
becomes a prisoner of the jet-setting lifestyle she once yearned
for. Dirk Bogarde co-stars as Diana's long-suffering boyfriend.
'Far From The Madding Crowd' (1967) is an adaptation of Thomas
Hardy's 19th-century story of a woman's passion. Bathsheba
(Christie) is in love with three very different men who are also in
love with her: her first love is a handsome and wayward soldier;
the second is the local noble Lord, and the third is an
ever-patient farmer. 'The Go-Between' (1970) is an adaptation of
the classic novel by L.P. Hartley. A young teenage boy, Leo
(Dominic Guard), is invited to a wealthy school friend's rich
family estate and is drawn into a love affair between his friend's
twenty-something sister, Marian (Christie), and the family
neighbour, even though she is engaged to be married. She uses Leo
as a go-between, sending messages to her lover. Despite feeling he
is betraying her fiance Hugh (Edward Fox), Leo carries on being the
messager boy and discovers more about the attraction between men
and women along the way.
