The Worker - The Complete Series

With a career spanning well over fifty years, Charlie Drake will always be one of the nation's favourite comedians and, without a doubt, his crowning glory (or should that be clowning glory) is The Worker.

It's not that he doesn't like working, it's just that he's no good at it - a fact which consistently raises the hackles (and blood pressure) a Labour Exchange clerk Mr. Pugh (Henry McGee)!

King Lear

Laurence Olivier won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor for his forceful and compelling performance as Lear in what is arguably Shakespeare's greatest tragedy - a story of misplaced trust, filial ingratitude, envy and the lust for power. Olivier was 76 years old when this production was made and he still manages to tower effortlessly over a stellar cast. Nominated for three BAFTAs, Michael Elliott's production for Granada Television set the benchmark for all other adaptations of this sad tale.The ageing King Lear abdicates his throne and surrenders his kingdom to his three daughters - Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. How much land they get is dependant on how much love they show for him, to be demonstrated in a speech, but Cordelia refuses to play her father's senile games and is banished. Little does Lear understand that this is the first step on a path that could result in the destruction of the kingdom..., Laurence Olivier won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor for his forceful and compelling performance as Lear in what is arguably Shakespeare's greatest tragedy - a story of misplaced trust, filial ingratitude, envy and the lust for power.

To Die For

Based on Joyce's Maynard novel, this quirky tale explores the nature of celebrity and the extraordinary lengths that one woman will go to get ahead and become a national celebrity. Fifteen minutes of fame was never going to be enough for Suzanne (Nicole Kidman - Moulin Rouge). Married to local restaurant owner Larry Maretto (Matt Dillon - The Big Town), all she ever wanted was to be a high-flying anchorwoman on network TV. Blessed with more determination than ability, Suzanne plans her way to the top and will do absolutely anything to achieve her goals. As her ambition increases, her grip on reality starts to slide and drifts into a fantasy world where celebrity is the only benchmark of truth, and where there is no place for the laid-back Larry. Suzanne seduces young junkie Jimmy (Joaquin Phoenix - Gladiator), until he is obsessed enough with her to do whatever she wants. But just how far will she go?
