A rollicking adaptation of Kingsley Amis's first novel, Lucky Jim stars Stephen Tompkinson as Jim Dixon, a luckless lecturer at a provincial British university, trying to make a splash with his pompous boss, Professor Neddy Welch (Robert Hardy). Jim is also trying to make it with the woman of his dreams, Christine Callaghan (Keeley Hawes, Othello and Wives and Daughters), while simultaneously being pursued by the woman of his nightmares, fellow lecturer Margaret Peel (Helen McCrory, Anna Karenina). One (of many) complications is that Christine is the girlfriend of Professor Welch's egotistical artist son, Bertrand. Another is that Margaret keeps attempting suicide to get Jim's attention. But despite his misadventures, Jim keeps his eyes on the prize: a leg up on the ladder to a professorship in medieval history.

Экранизация произведений знаменитого английского поэта Дилана Томаса. История о жизни приморской деревушки в Уэллсе и ее жителей, показанная с яркой наблюдательностью и бойким английским юмором.Радиопьеса "Под сенью молочного леса", считается одной из вершин творчества Дилана Томаса, одиного из крупнейших британских поэтов XX века. Можно сказать, что сюжет пьесы - хроника одного дня жизни приморской деревушки, подобной той, в которой жил сам поэт. Но эта хроника далека от сурового реализма, она больше похожа на сказку, рассказанную поэтом, влюбленным в этот край, в этих простых людей с их заботами, привязанностями, слабостями и глупостями. Два незнакомца (а в радиопьесе это просто Первый голос и Второй голос) идут по городу и рассказывают о его жителях. Вот старый, слепой капитан, который по ночам беседует с утонувшими моряками, а утром узнает по голосу каждого ученика соседней школы.

Детство — ужасная пора. Запрещено всё. Нельзя опаздывать в школу, нельзя поздно приходить домой, нельзя хамить учителям, нельзя знакомиться с дядьками на кладбище, нельзя собирать и испытывать бомбы, нельзя невпопад приглашать гостей, нельзя поджигать папину газету, нельзя рисовать голых тёток, нельзя сбегать с уроков на пляж, и — о ужас! — нельзя жениться. Даже по большой любви.
