Unexpectedly made redundant, Catherine Durrell has a more agreeable surprise in store when she learns that by the inexplicable whim of a drowned man she has been left a fortune in Norway.

Who was this man - and why was she chosen as beneficiary? To find the answer, Catherine travels to Alesund, the beautiful capital of the Sunnmore region. Here, against a background of contemporary Norwegian life but paralleled by myth and legend, Catherine becomes deeply involved in the affairs of the Jordahl family and, more and more, her parentage is called into question as she probes the mysterious life and background of Hjalmar Jordahl. She embarks on a passionate, stormy and potentially tragic relationship, which places her life in even greater danger. Catherine pursues her investigations until, finally, on Midsummer's Eve and with the Pagan Nordic celebrations at their height, the last piece of the jigsaw falls into place, and she comes face to face with her own would-be killer. And the Maelstrom into which she has been inexorably drawn threatens to engulf her...

Reuniting again in this BBC series, first broadcast in 1973, the pair put their heads together to reexamine the unsolved case of 'Jack the Ripper', trawling through the archives in an effort to uncover the true identity of the killer.

This six-part TV drama is riddled with conspiracy theories, contradictory information and insufficient evidence. The confusion and difficulties that Barlow (Stratford Johns) and Watt (Frank Windsor) confront echo those faced by the police during their original investigation. Through a discussion-based structure, interspersed with dramatised documentary-style scenes set in the 19th century, the pair not only examine prominent suspects and theories but also delve into the lesser known suggestions, including the Royal conspiracy. Will they succeed in finding the true identity of Jack the Ripper?

Comic legend Zero Mostel mixes slapstick and surrealism as a tardy opera star traversing London in 'Ride of the Valkyrie' while 'Red, White and Zero', scripted by Shelagh Delaney, blends realism and poetry with poetry with New Wave detachment as a young woman travels home from the north of England.

Tony Richardson (Tom Jones) directs Vanessa Redgrave in the final part of the film, 'Red and Blue', a musical, melancholy romantic reverie.
