Film7.6DramTarih20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında İngiliz sömürgesi altındaki Hindistan'da geçen film, bağımsızlık mücadelesi için İngiliz yönetimine karşı "Pasif Direniş"i örgütleyen Mahatma Gandhi'nin hayatından bir kesit anlatıyor. En iyi biyografik çalışmalardan biri olarak kabul edilen Gandhi, 11 dalda aday olduğu Oscar ödüllerinden "en iyi film" ve "en iyi yönetmen" dahil tam 8 ödülle döndü. Gandhi rolünde sinema tarihinin en iyi performanslarından birine imza atan usta oyuncu Ben Kingsley'nin ise "en iyi erkek oyuncu" dalında heykelciğe uzanmasıysa pek zor olmadı. Cenaze sahnesinde yaklaşık 300.000 kişinin yer almasıyla da bir film sahnesinde yer alan en kalabalık insan sayısı rekorunu da elinde bulunduran film, çarpıcı sahneleriyle hafızalardan silinmeyecek bir yapıt. Hindistan bağımsızlık hareketinin lideri Gandhi'nin gerçek hayatından sinemaya aktarılan bu gerçekçi yapım, ülkemizde yıllarca yasaklanmış ve gösterime girememişti..

Dizi8.0KomediVictoria Wood was a series of six one-off situation comedies written by and starring Victoria Wood in 1989, who took a break from sketches, two years after her very successful and award winning series Victoria Wood As Seen on TV. Wood appeared as "Victoria", a fictionalised version of herself, in all six episodes - in The Library it was said that she "worked in TV" and in Over To Pam characters appeared to recognise her celebrity and in the final episode, Staying In, she was taken to a party to perform as a comedienne and was expected to go through her stand-up 'routine'. Her character often broke the 'fourth wall' of TV and spoke directly to the camera, but not in every episode. Bored with the sketch format and with a yearning to recapture previous success as a playwright, Wood came up with six individual sitcoms as a compromise. She admitted to finding the writing difficult. Though Wood was written as the central character, other lead parts were written with specific actresses in mind, like Julie Walters and Una Stubbs. "I want people to like me and the people who play my friends, and not everybody else" she said. Screenonline says of the shows "Modest in ambition and scale but rich in wit and acuity, the six playlets showcase Wood's eye for human foibles and her distinctively eccentric characters.".

Dizi5.0SuçDramThe Fear is a five-part television drama produced by Thames Television subsidiary Euston Films for ITV. Broadcast from 17 February to 16 March 1988, the serial follows Carl Galton, the enterprising leader of a criminal gang running a protection racket in North London. Young and ambitious, Galton represents a new breed of criminal who seeks to expand his underworld empire and takes on the old East End firms. 1980s materialism clashes with old school London villainy as Galton rises to power, yet his ruthlessness carries a personal cost, especially on his wife Linda and best friend Marty.
