Fahrenheit 9/11

Green Wing - Series 2

The second series follows the continuing adventures of surgical registrar Dr Caroline Todd, still - dishevelled and under-deodorised! Along an assortment of bizarre and demented characters including: Secretan, the smooth talking part-Swiss anaesthetist and all-round misogynist Dr. Alan Statham, possibly one of the kinkiest doctors on the ward (that is saying a lot too!), then there's the dashing, but aloof, Dr. 'Mac' Macartney. Be prepared for one of the most surreal journeys you're ever likely to take as you dive into the anarchic world of Green Wing Hospital! An off-beat comedy set in a hospital, the The Green Wing, throws in a bit of soap opera and a dose of the sketch-show and is created by the team behind Smack the Pony.

Yes

Passion has no boundaries... A woman (Joan Allen), feeling betrayed by her husband (Sam Neill), turns to a man from a world away (Simon Abkarian) to fulfil her deepest desires. Their sensuous affair takes them on a tumultuous journey across continents and cultures that is seen through the eyes of her maid (Shirley Henderson). 'Yes' is a lyrical love story (all the character speak in iambic pentameter, Shakespeare's preferred method of vocal delivery).

History File, The - Kings And Queens Of England - The Stuarts 1603 - 1714

With the death of Elizabeth I, 1603 heralded the beginning of the Stuarts a royal house that was to last for over one hundred years. Here was a period that would see amongst other events civil war, a great plague, the fire of London, the abolition and re-introduction of the monarchy and the gunpowder plot. James I and Charles I ruled until 1649 when Parliament took over during an eleven year period which came to be known as the Commonwealth and Protectorate. The monarchy was finally restored in 1660 with the crowning of Charles II, he was followed by James II, William III and Mary II and finally in 1702 by Queen Anne. 1714 brought England a new royal line with the coronation of George I and so ended another turbulent chapter of England's royal history. With expert analysis from Alan Ereira and atmospheric period reconstructions this programme is an interesting and informative record of the Stuart years.
