    Stardust: The Bette Davis Story (2006)

    A standard biography of the famed actress recounting her childhood, early films and her rise to stardom. Her father abandoned the family when she was quite young and she remained close to her domineering mother. As she became more popular she had many fights with Jack Warner, the head of Warner Brothers studio, but eventually managed to exert greater control over her career. She was nominated for several Oscars. Her private life life included several failed marriages and she was deeply hurt when her daughter, who was her closest companion for several years, wrote a tell-all and unflattering memoir of her life.

    Lost at Sea: The Search for Longitude (1998)

    It was one of humankind’s most epic quests – a technical problem so complex that it challenged the best minds of its time, a problem so important that the nation that solved it would rule the economy of the world. The problem was navigation by sea—how to know where you were when you sailed beyond the sight of land – establishing your longitude. While the gentry of the 18th Century looked to the stars for the answer, an English clockmaker, John Harrison, toiled for decades to solve the problem. His elegant solution made him an unlikely hero and remains the basis for the most modern forms of navigation in the world today. This film will be both a celebration of Harrison’s invention and an adventure story. An expedition on a period sailing vessel as it sails the open sea will demonstrate the life and death importance of finding your longitude at sea.

    Q...

    0 out of 5

    Q…

    Q… was a surreal television comedy sketch show from Spike Milligan which ran from 1969 to 1982 on BBC2. There were six series in all, the first five numbered from Q5 to Q9, and a final series titled There’s a Lot of It About. The first and third series ran for seven episodes, and the others for six episodes, each of which was 30 minutes long.

    Various reasons have been suggested for the title. One possibility is that it was inspired by the project to construct the Cunard liner QE2, launched in September 1967, which was dubbed Q4. Another theory is that Milligan was inspired by the BBC 6-point technical quality scale of the time, where “Q5” was severe degradation to picture or sound, and “Q6” was complete loss of sound or vision. This was extended by some engineering departments to a 9-point scale, finishing at “Q9”. According to Milligan’s autobiography, the final series was renamed There’s a Lot of It About after the BBC felt the public might find Q10 too confusing.

    From a Bird's Eye View

    From a Bird’s Eye View

    From a Bird’s Eye View is a 1970 ATV and ITC Entertainment co-produced sitcom. In the United States it aired on NBC, which had originally ordered the series as an entry in the 1969-70 TV season but pushed it back to the 1970-71 season as a mid-season replacement.

    The series followed two International Airlines stewardesses, a scatterbrained Briton and a savvy American, as they flew the London-European routes. The series ran for 16 25-minute colour episodes.

    The series was not a big success in either the UK or the US, but ITC re-used the format for the Shirley MacLaine series Shirley’s World. That show also flopped, but ran to one more episode than From a Bird’s Eye View.
