Her Ladyship
Времена Второй мировой войны. Передвижной шекспировский театр ставит «Короля Лира». Знаменитый актер, которого вся труппа зовет просто Сэр, пытается играть не только на сцене, но и в жизни. Однако, несмотря на все усилия, он все равно выглядит обрюзгшим пьяницей и деспотом, который отыгрывается за все неурядицы и семейные проблемы на своем костюмере Нормане. Тот же, как шут при короле Лире, преданный своему «хозяину», прикидывается то дурачком то несчастным, и терпеливо сносит все оскорбления обожаемого кумира…

Laura
With the destruction of their previous neighbourhood has inevitably come the destruction of the lads’ favoured watering hole The Fat Ox. Again, it’s Bob rather than Terry who is visibly distressed by this. Upset and much the worse for free alcohol, Bob then storms into the library to seek sympathy from Thelma - who is, predictably, unimpressed. So when Thelma finds out that Terry has been getting semi-serious with glamorous Finnish shop assistant Chris, she takes it upon herself to try and pair them off for good via planning first a dinner party and then that mainstay of 70s comedy, a camping expedition. Of course, things don’t go quite according to plan and before you can say ‘I can see the way this is going’ we are set up for japes, larks and embarrassing incidents aplenty, which culminate in the lads getting rather fed up with their partners’ attempts to inflict the rugged outdoor lifestyle upon them and trying to hitch up and drive off with the girls still asleep in the caravan.

Достоверное историческое повествование о гражданской войне XVII века, разделившей Англию на два противоборствующих лагеря, об английской буржуазной революции.

Кромвель — идеалист, преданный своему делу, с холодными, измученными глазами, хриплым голосом и несгибаемым духом. Он настроен любой ценой спасти свою любимую Англию от коррупции слабого, жадного двора и установить власть парламента, который был бы по-настоящему демократическим, выражал интересы народа, не являлся бы игрушкой короля…
