Father
As fábricas, pubs, clubes, hotéis e ruas dos anos 1980 em Liverpool formam o pano de fundo dessa história de amor, amizade, sexo e uma carta ao líder soviético, Leonid Brezhnev. Duas moças do Liverpool, Teresa e Elaine, encontram dois marinheiros russos, Sergei e Peter, para uma noite de diversão e brincadeiras. Teresa está à procura de sexo e um sorriso, Elaine quer amor, romance e o sonho de uma vida longe da sujeira das docas de Liverpool. Uma clássica comédia romântica britânica cheia de novas músicas de ondas, moda dos anos 80, um pouco de política e muito coração. (e 14 - Estimado 14 Anos)

Mike
Ken Loach's first production for ITV, shown under the 'Sunday Night Theatre' strand (originally broadcast 18th July 1971). After a Lifetime is something of a neglected, social realist masterpiece that focuses on two brothers, brought together by the death of their father, reflecting on his life of militancy and political activism. At the time critic Nancy Banks Smith called it ‘brilliantly funny, and moving with a sort of subterranean rage’. Smith himself plays the older brother with a brilliant, raw emotion.
