Brideshead Revisited – Remastered (available from 12th October 2021)
Considered to be one of the greatest literary adaptations of all time and even called “the biggest British invasion since the Beatles” by The New York Times, Jeremy Irons (Dead Ringers) and Anthony Andrews (Upstairs, Downstairs) star in this beloved drama based on Evelyn Waugh’s 1945 novel, Brideshead Revisited.
Taking place from the 1920s to the early 1940s, this seminal story follows the life and romances of protagonist Charles Ryder. Though of no money or family, Charles befriends Sebastian Flyte, who comes from a wealthy family of English Catholics who live in a palatial mansion by the name of Brideshead Castle.
40 years after the original release date, this incomparable 11-part-miniseries remains as “one of history’s finest period dramas (Harper’s Bazaar) and “television’s greatest literary adaptation, bar none” (The Telegraph). Brideshead Revisited remastered in 4K will honor the 40th anniversary of this incredible series, allowing fans to watch the series in a way that has never been seen before.
House of Cards trilogy (available from 15th October 2021)
Andrew Davies’ (Pride and Prejudice, Bleak House) award-winning political drama is a delicious tale of greed, corruption and burning ambition.
At its heart is Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson, Dark City, Brazil), a black-hearted villain with a smiling face, who shares with the viewers his estranged humor and innermost thoughts to destroy each of his political rivals. One by one his opponents tumble, until at last there is just one wild card left in the pack.
