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 critically acclaimed Flowers unfurls for a second series, this time set in the bloom of summer. Will Sharpe s darkly imaginative, heartfelt and cinematic Flowers sees the return of the well-meaning Deborah (Olivia Colman), her depressive husband Maurice (Julian Barratt), their maladjusted adult twin children Amy and Donald and the rest of this dysfunctional ensemble, including the eternally optimistic Shun (played by Sharpe), the Japanese illustrator of Maurice's children's books who lodges with the family. Joining the cast is Harriet Walter as Hylda (former addict, now Amy's girlfriend and slightly unconventional priest). Set a couple of years after series one, Maurice is now on medication and seemingly in a better place, while Deborah is on the brink of becoming the published author of 'Living with the Devil', a self-help book about coping with her husband's depression. The bombastic Donald (Daniel Rigby) has started an independent plumbing business and is desperate to fall in love and become a man. The chaotic and imaginative Amy, meanwhile, has invited her all-female music group 'The Pink Cuttlefish Orchestra' to stay at the ramshackle Flowers' house and becomes increasingly obsessed with a book full of strange Baroque paintings, which once belonged to Felix Flower (her grandfather who ran away when Maurice was a little boy).
