British drama documenting the breakdown of a working class family
when the teenage daughter befriends a refugee girl. Helen (Pauline
McLynn) has been married to Paul (Paul McGann) for 25 years. They
live a monotonous and frozen existence: Helen is desperate,
damaged, and looking for change; while Paul - bitter, hypocritical
and bigoted, sick and tired of being in the poverty trap - is on
the brink of a breakdown. His biggest fear is change. Into their
lives comes Tasha (Chloe Sirene), a Romany Czech refugee, awaiting
her British passport and her chance for freedom - a concept taken
for granted by all those around her.

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.
