So you're interested in the beginnings of Sherlock Holmes? Well then its elementary my dear Watson that you start here with 'The Dark Beginnings'...

From a fact-based screenplay by David Leland (Wish You Were Here) and directed by master film-maker Alan Clarke (Rita Sue and Bob Too) Made In Britain is one of the most memorable feature-length TV dramas of the 1980s. Trevor is a teenage Skinhead caught smashing the windows of a Pakistani owned shop he is sent to an assessment centre by social worker Harry (Eric Richard - The Bill) where it is discovered he is highly articulate and intelligent. But when he escapes steals cars and goes bersek can Harry still save him?
Woody Allen's second film as a director was a wild, unpredictable and unlikely comedy about a product-tester named Fielding Mellish (Allen), who can't quite connect with the woman of his dreams (Louise Lasser, Allen's ex-wife). He accidentally winds up in South America as a freedom fighter for a guerrilla leader who looks like Castro. Once he assumes power, the new dictator quickly goes insane--which leaves Fielding in charge to negotiate with the US. The film is chockfull of wonderfully bizarre gags, such as the dreams Fielding recounts to his shrink about dueling crucified messiahs, vying for a parking place near Wall Street. Look for an unknown Sylvester Stallone in a tiny role--but watch this film for Allen's surprisingly physical (and always verbally dexterous) humour. --Marshall Fine
Get out your handkerchiefs for this four-star weepie, a 1957 remake of the 1939 Love Affair, directed by Leo McCarey, who also made the original. Grant and Kerr are strangers on an ocean liner, involved with other people, who can't resist each other for a shipboard romance. But they decide to test whether this is the real thing by agreeing to split up, then meeting in six months atop the Empire State Building. Is there anyone who can resist that set-up or the tragic romantic mishap that nearly splits them up? Can you keep dry eyes during the famous finale? Some prefer the original (with Charles Boyer); practically no one liked the underrated 1994 remake with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. While occasionally a shade slow, this one soars on Grant's charm and Kerr's noble suffering. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com
This Ophuls film noir classic is rich in suspense strikingly photographed and features career best performances from Joan Bennett and James Mason. Based on the story 'The Blank Wall' by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding.
We chose a new location for this sixth series - the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond - taking the high road to what has become something of a biennial reunion of our Aly-and-Jerry 'house band' with director Mike Alexander's technical A-team. The trust and co-ordination between them makes for not just great music but a great viewing/listening experience.
