When two people from completely different backgrounds interact in the workplace - things can only get heated... It's 1986 and Industry Year, which is great news for manufacturing in Rummidge, an unlovely sprawling city in the heart of the Midlands, raked by motorways.

The economy is recovering - but at a cost. Lives are changing. Suffering from the last round of cuts in funding, the University is desperate to cast off its ivory-tower image. Its first effort towards achieving this is entering the 'Industry Year Shadow Scheme'. Robyn Penrose (Haydn Gwynne) is chosen as the University's representative. She's a young, idealistic lecturer in English Literature and an expert on the Victorian industrial novel. Straight from school into academia, she's never set foot in a factory. Now she finds herself shadow to Vic Wilcox (Warren Clarke), the middle-aged, self-made managing director of a Rummidge engineering firm. The thought of following his every move for one day a week for the next six months is totally unappealing to Robyn. And Vic, for his part, is equally hostile. But over time, they both find themselves drawn to each other...

They said it was "the performance of a lifetime" and they were right! From the moment she appears on-stage, a lone silhouette in a white mini-raincoat designed by Isaac Mizrahi, Liza Minnelli captures the attention and hearts of her audience.

In this spectacular show that broke every existing record at Radio City Music Hall, Liza is at the top of her form, delivering an emotionally charged performance including tributes to important influences in her musical life: master choreographer Bob Fosse, singer/songwriter Charles Aznavour, and her father, Vincente Minnelli, who was Art Director at Radio City Music Hall in the '30s.

As a new spirit of openness sweeps across post-Soviet Russia, KGB officers discover an isolated hangar in the heart of the Kremlin full of 1960s British artifacts, including mocked-up streets and homes populated by mannequins.

This was once a training centre where 'sleeper' spies would adjust to ensure imperceptible integration into British life. It soon becomes clear that two such Cold War spies never came home. The agents formerly known as Sergei Rublev and Vladimir Zelenski have been living for 25 years as high-flying city financier Jeremy Coward (Nigel Havers) and northern trade unionist Albert Robinson (Warren Clarke). Utterly assimilated, though opposites in temperament and character, the two men are by now more English than the locals - and horrified to learn that the Kremlin is trying to track them down. Sultry, unrelenting KGB high-up Nina Grishina (Joanna Kanska) flies into London to lead the search - alerting the bumbling bureaucrats of MI5 and their twitchy CIA counterparts to investigate why the Russians are mobilising. A multi-stranded cat-and-mouse chase follows across four feature-length episodes, delivering a hilarious cross-cultural parody of the spying game. A sparkling satire of Cold War intelligence and ineptitude, filled with high-jinks of the highest order.

Based on supposedly true events, 'The Monocled Mutineer' is the story of dashing rogue and master of disguise, Percy Toplis.

Written by Alan Bleasdale, the series provoked intense political controversy on its broadcast in 1986 and, after an initial repeat has not been shown since on British television. Private Toplis was already a chancer and a rebel, thanks to his tough childhood, when he arrived at the Etaples training camp in northern France in June 1917. But it was there, on the eve of the Battle of Passchendaele, as the soldiers were put through a brutal training regime, that Toplis instigated a mutiny which would shake the British authorities to the core. Now a marked man, relying on his talent for impersonating the officer class, Toplis escapes to England where he falls in love with a young widow, but as the most wanted man in Britain, his struggle for freedom becomes increasingly desperate...

For the very first time a Paul Foot live performance has been captured on video so you can now enjoy the musings, rants and mountings of one of the world's most original comedians. Recorded live at the Leicester Square Theatre London.

Best known for his pioneering 'Quatermass' stories and harrowing adaptation of George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty Four', as well as later TV triumphs 'The Stone Tape' and 'The Woman in Black', Nigel Kneale is widely regarded as one of Britain's greatest scriptwriters.

Making his name at the BBC in the 1950's, he subsequently wrote acclaimed dramas for ITV over the following decades - of which three are presented here. The plays on this set showcase some of Kneale's most enduring themes: a deep sympathy for the plight of the individual facing an unimaginable threat; the unease and paranoia of the Cold War era, and fears of an uncertain near-future; and the volatility and potential menace of the crowd.

The Church stars Harry Andrews as a prime minister attempting to avert a nuclear catastrophe in London; Maxwell Shaw, Anthony Bushell and Peter Bowles are among his co-stars.
Ladies' Night is a chilling story of misogyny as members of a gentlemen's club turn on a woman who ridicules them; a strong cast includes Alfred Burke, Ronald Pickup and Bryan Pringle.
Gentry stars Roger Daltrey in a blackly comic suspense drama in which a couple buy a shabby house in an up-and-coming area but find themselves drawn into the aftermath of an armed robbery.

A stuntman has been murdered. A supermodel has been painted to death. A shipment of cocaine has turned up inside a batch of Colombian cod.

Only one team can solve such evil crimes: it's time to call the Really Serious Crimes Squad! The 'Oblivion Boys' Mark Arden and Stephen Frost star as the unconventional murder detectives Steve Lazarus and Mark Dingwall. Together, the troublesome duo solve crimes with their microwave-meal-loving, part-time cinema attendant Police Chief (Peter Bland), the lovely Beverley (Race Davies), and the incredibly boring plain clothes detectives and resident git Gary (Jeremy Gittins). Other crimes include a bizarre art installation involving a corpse, the mysterious death of a newspaper astrology expert and a spate of murders that seem to be imitating Cluedo scenarios...
