What A Difference A Day Made: Doris Day Superstar

Sunday, 22 November 2009

If you ask most people in the street today about the Hollywood legend Doris Day, they will probably say, “Is she still alive”? Yes, she is! She is now in her late eighties and living in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a Californian resort with the charm of San Francisco and the glamour of Hollywood.

Although Doris Day has not appeared in public for over 30 years, she is considered to be a cultural icon of the 20th and 21st centuries. Her films are shown regularly on TV worldwide. She still gets around 200 fan letters a week and is selling more records than ever before. All over the world, her songs are still known. To list a few: Sentimental Journey, one of her greatest successes while touring with the Les Brown band, Secret Love from the film Calamity Jane and of course, Que Sera from Hitchcock’s film The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Doris Day has written cinema history by simply playing the girl next door. So, who is the Doris Day of today?

This playful, tongue-in-cheek study of her fairytale career reflects the turbulent and successful life of Doris Day with footage of significant events in the USA. Extracts and trailers from some of her many feature films, stage and TV appearances, photos and material from private archives have been added to reveal and contrast the foibles and characteristics of her real life against the background of her screen and music life.

What A Difference A Day Made: Doris Day Superstar will be repeated on ABC1 – Sunday, November 29 at 3:00pm

PRODUCTION DETAILS:A film by Andrew Davies and Andre Schafer. A Florian Films production co-produced with Arte Geie

Love Soup: Integrated Logistics

Tuesday, 24 November 2009

Cleo’s latest attempts to fix up Alice (Tamsin Greig) with some of her sales rep friends have, predictably, ended in disaster. However, hope is on the horizon in the shape of the unnaturally charming and handsome Simon, a dashing young captain of industry whom Alice met at the local cash machine. Incredibly, Alice’s helpless infatuation seems to be perfectly reciprocated. Even when Simon takes her back to meet his sister and mother in the tiny country village where he grew up, the prospects could not seem brighter. Yet when a figure from Simon’s past returns to cast a shadow across their blossoming relationship, is fate once again cruelly steering Alice’s life, or is it actually Alice who is cruelly steering fate?

Meanwhile, a similar logistical problem seems to face Milly, who is keen to test the loyalty of her new boyfriend, Darren. Inspired by an American TV documentary, she and Cleo set up a honey trap to see if he can be tempted into a ‘long, hot night of animal passion’ with another woman. As events unfold, the two girls discover something about their unwitting victim that is to turn the tables on them both.

PRODUCTION DETAILS:Written by David Renwick. Producer: Verity Lambert; Executive Producers: David Renwick, Jon Plowman. Love Soup is a BBC Production.

Moses Jones

Tuesday, 24 November 2009 New Series

The first original series for television from award-winning Hollywood scriptwriter Joe Penhall, Moses Jones is an atmospheric and vibrant crime thriller set amongst London’s Ugandan community where nothing, and no one, is what they seem to be…

Shaun Parkes (Notes On A Scandal) plays Moses Jones in his first leading role for television, heading up a cast of new and established talent which boasts Matt Smith (the new Doctor Who), Eamonn Walker (Oz, Cadillac Records), Dennis Waterman (New Tricks), Indira Varma (Rome) and Jude Akuwudike (Touched By A Stranger), plus newcomers Wunmi Mosaku and Obi Abili.

The story begins when a wave of violence hits a London community following the discovery of the bizarrely mutilated body of a man in the Thames. First appearances suggest a witchcraft killing, but the dark reality is more complicated – and even more frightening.

Assigned to the case are young, hopeful Detective Sergeant Dan Twentyman and a disgruntled Detective Inspector Moses Jones, who has been seconded from Scotland Yard due to his supposed cultural links with the local African community.

Confronted with a wall of silence from the cab drivers, restaurant staff and other itinerant and casual workers populating the area, Jones and Twentyman become increasingly frustrated, but all roads lead to Joy, her friend Solomon and the Afrigo Club, where the ex-pat community go to unwind to the irresistible music of Solomon’s band.

As the search deepens, the violence escalates and the investigation grinds to a halt. But one name crops up again and again – Matthias Mutukula, a mysterious godfather figure rumoured to have both terror links and supernatural powers.

Forced to ask himself tough questions about his cultural identity, Moses Jones embarks on a frightening quest to track down his man and redeem himself before the community implodes…or takes revenge itself.

The Wire


In a city plagued by rampant crime, The Wire captures the routine world of the criminal underworld, offering a parallel bureaucracy that is in some ways more functional, if more brutal, than the system arrayed against it.

Tonight, made to look like a fool when his generous gift to a Polish-American Catholic parish is trumped by rival union leader Frank Sobotka (Chris Bauer), Deputy Police Commissioner Stanislaus Valchek (Al Brown) begins a bitter feud with Sobotka.

Avon Barksdale continues to run his empire from a prison cell – counselling his nephew D’Angelo (Larry Gilliard) and going after a guard who is harassing the gang’s convicted hit-man, Wee-Bey (Hassan Johnson).

Meanwhile, on the waterfront, port Police Officer Beatrice Russell (Amy Ryan) gets stuck investigating the contraband found in a shipping container destined for ‘The Greek’ (Paul Ben Victor) but languishing on the wharf with its perishable cargo.

McNulty lends a hand with the investigation, albeit for vindictive reasons, and ultimately Detectives Bunk Moreland (Wendell Pierce) and Lester Freamon (Clarke Peters) are assigned to help investigate the deaths.

The Wire is the brainchild of David Simon, whose years as a police-beat reporter for The Baltimore Sun has proved invaluable in the depiction of characters, protocol and anecdotes found in The Wire. Many of his ideas are culled from actual incidents and personalities in Baltimore.


PRODUCTION DETAILS:Executive Producer: David Simon. A Blown Deadline Production for HBO.

Inside Hana's Suitcase

Wednesday, 25 November 2009

A group of Japanese children and their passionate and tenacious teacher, Fumiko Ishioka, help solve the mystery of a young Jewish girl whose name was painted on a battered old suitcase they received from Auschwitz.

Hana Brady and her brother George grew up in Poland in the 1930s and 1940s, but their lives and their tragic fate stretched 70 years through history and across three continents to touch the heart of contemporary young filmmakers. Their story, based on the book of the same name, blends documentary and dramatic techniques to bring a film of unspeakable sadness but also of shining hope.

This is a Holocaust tale like no other as it provides a modern contemporary global perspective and lessons to be learnt for a better future.


PRODUCTION DETAILS:Directed by Jerry Weinstein, produced by Jessica Daniel, and Larry Weinstein. Rhombus Media and Rudolf Biermann IN Film Praha.

Hollywood Chinese: The Chinese In American Feature Film

This little-known chapter of cinema history goes from the first independent Chinese American film produced in 1916 to Ang Lee’s triumphant Brokeback Mountain.Stories of Chinese American film artists are punctuated with a treasure trove of clips from over 90 films to weave a rich and complex tapestry, one marked by unforgettable performances and groundbreaking films, but also one tainted by a tangled history of race and representation.

Hollywood Chinese at its heart is an expose on America itself and how it both exploits and rewards.

Hollywood Chinese: The Chinese In American Feature Film will be repeated on ABC1 – Sunday, November 29 at 4:00pm

Torchwood: Adrift

In this episode, when a local teenager disappears, Gwen is drawn into an investigation that reveals a darker side of Torchwood.

8:30pm

Movie: Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451 is based on Ray Bradbury's novel about a futuristic society where reading is strictly forbidden and readers are hunted down by the authorities. In this narcissistic, mindless society, the function of the firemen is not to extinguish fires, but to safeguard the public’s peace of mind by burning books.

That is until one fireman, Montag, meets a young school teacher, Clarisse, who makes him wonder about the life he has accepted.

Directed by Francois Truffaut, Fahrenheit 451 stars Oskar Werner (Montag), Julie Christie (Linda and Clarisse), Cyril Cusack (Captain), and Anton Diffring (Fabian).
