In searching for information on the movie Persuasion it is nearly impossible to find as it's listed under a different title. What's happened?

Should be cross referenced with episode names

I am reviewing The Summer House starring Joan Plowright, Juliette Lewis and Jeanne Moreau. Wonderful ensemble film featuring fine actresses and a clever little story. Lewis plays a young woman not quite happy about her engagement and three aging girlfriends respond differently to the situation. Plowright and Moreau join forces to put things right. A delight from beginning to end with an utterly unpredictable ending.

Some of these were terrific.

A series of daring films from The BBC, which were their response the hugely successful productions from Channel 4.

I'm not sure as to the accuracy of there being 165 films in the series, it's very difficult to find any information about them at all, whereas Screen one seemed like a direct replacement to Play for Today, these felt a little different.

In this series you will find historicals, science fiction, mysteries, and of course straight up, relevant dramas.

The highlights for me, had to be The Lorelei, Skallagrig and Will you love me tomorrow. The oneI don't remember quite so fondly, is A very open Prison, I saw it not too long ago.

I really do miss this format, one of feature length dramas, all we seem to have now are six part series, you don't always want to commit for six weeks.

Expect a great cast in most episodes, look out for the likes of Bernard Hill, Alan Cumming, Pauline Collins and Alfred Molina.

What a shame that so few were commercially released, and virtually none of them have ever been shown for a very long time.

9/10.
