Phyllida Lloyd, who directed Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!, takes a less exuberant tack in this unexpectedly poignant biopic. In the script, written by Shame's Abi Morgan, Lloyd depicts the elderly Dame Thatcher (Streep in a thoroughly convincing performance) as a frail figure replaying key moments in her life while her mind still continues to function. Her trajectory begins with grocer Alfred Roberts (Downton Abbey's Iain Glen), who became the mayor of Grantham, instilling in his daughter, Margaret (Alexandra Roach), a passion for politics. After graduating from Oxford, she felt ready to enter the fray, at which point she met Denis Thatcher (Harry Lloyd), who cheered her along on the road from Parliament to 10 Downing Street, where they lived during her time as Britain's first female prime minister (Jim Broadbent portrays the grey-haired and ghostly Denis). While closing mines, dodging IRA hits, and overseeing a war, the blue-clad titan built alliances with Airey Neave (Nicholas Farrell) and Geoffrey Howe (Anthony Head), but she would lose them both. If her will was strong, she had no time for feminine niceties like conciliation and forgiveness. The film goes on to suggest that she never cultivated the kinds of female friendships that might have sustained her in retirement, though her daughter (Tyrannosaur's Olivia Colman) did what she could. Instead, Denis remained her closest confidante until his departure, after which she had nothing but fading memories. The upshot is an uneasy combination of admiration for her leadership qualities and disappointment in her interpersonal skills. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The influential American documentary pioneer Robert Flaherty spent three years making this celebrated film. Life on the island of Aran in the 1930's was hard. Families were forced to fight against the elements for their livelihoods. It was the custom of the men to await the annual migration of basking sharks. If caught they would provide a family with enough oil for a year but to catch them meant setting sail in a flimsy boat. Could it protect the fishermen against the pounding force of the ocean? The feature has undergone a new full digital restoration and the release contains a host of extra features including the documentary 'How The Myth Was Made' Short Film 'Return Of the Islander' (25 minutes) Short Films by Robert J. Flaherty: 'The English Potter' and 'Industrial Britain' Outtake footage found at the Irish Film Archive and an image gallery.

A fast-paced sketch show performed by an energetic young team with much potential. The sketches were dark and zany the preferred style of the times and covered traditional themes (James Bond spoofs paranoia) as well as contemporary subjects (satirising BBC satellite channels and youth programming) all to varying degrees of success. One memorable recurring sketch featured two young TV executives pitching ridiculous ideas for shows (extreme variations and hybrids of existing series)
