  The War is Over. For These Child Holocaust Survivors It Is A New beginning. The powerful BBC film starring Thomas Kretschmann, Romola Garai, Tim McInnerny & Iain Glen. A powerful and uplifting drama based on an extraordinary, untold true story of hope in the aftermath of the Holocaust, brought to us by award winning producers Wall to Wall (The Girl, The Scandalous Lady) and written by BAFTA nominated screenwriter Simon Block (The Eichmann Show, Home Fires). One summer's night in 1945, 300 children are in transit from Prague to the Lake District, a remote and picturesque corner of the English countryside. They are child survivors of the Nazi Holocaust that has all but wiped out Europe's Jews and for these particular children, their entire families too. They are some of the 1000 children the British government has granted refuge to, giving them a place where they can rehabilitate and grow strong after the devastation of the war. They carry only the clothes they wear and a few meagre possessions, along with the physical and psychological scars of all they have suffered. They do not know what awaits them in Britain and naturally they are fearful: they don t speak English, and having spent many years living in death camps, have missed out on a proper education. But the children are also excited, for the war is over, and there is always hope that the future will be kinder to them than the past. This moving and ultimately redemptive story follows the children and the remarkable team who were responsible for helping these children rebuild their lives as they forge friendships that will become a lifeline to a better future.

She's in her twenties and is still living at home with her over-bearing stepmother Joyce and her down trodden father Brian. The only boy interested in her is timid neighbour Marcus and she has a low paid job emptying car park meters of pound coins for her local council. She is bullied at work has few friends and fewer chances to make any. Gemma takes solace in her secret passion - Elvis Presley. Elvis has never let her down. When he sings it's as though he understands her like no one else can. She plays his records watches his films and knows everything about his music and his life. When Gemma accidentally discovers how easy it is to spend some of the car parking meter money and it not be noticed by her council colleagues it quickly becomes addictive. What starts out as comfort spending - glasses for her father donations to charity - soon becomes bigger bolder and more obsessive. Gemma starts buying Elvis Presley memorabilia - small things at first - a record here a pack of cards there - and it makes her happy just to own it. Purchases are getting bigger and more expensive and if she doesn't reign in her spending habits she's going to get caught. Inspired by a true crime Caught In A Trap also stars Geraldine James (Little Britain Kavanagh QC) Jim Carter (The Golden Compass Cranford) Joe Absolom (Doc Martin Vincent) and Paul Barber (Only Fools and Horses The Full Monty). The soundtrack is packed full of all of Elvis' greatest tracks.
