Bells Of Hell

Synopsis:
Gavin, Rector of St Barnabus Without, runs his parish on determinedly trendy lines, concentrating on gays, 'bondage freaks', mackintosh fetishists and other perversions rather than the Old Time Religion. His Bishop also thinks along modern lines when the arrival of a new, somewhat strange, Curate causes a series of true miracles. the Bishop is about to announce a return to the old ways when a natural explanation of the miracles is discovered. But who exactly is the mysterious Curate?

Hock And Soda Water

Synopsis:
A quintessentially English comedy about the recipe for happiness through the three ages of man. Henry, now in the autumn of his years, is transported back to the key episodes of his life. At once ironic and affectionate, he speaks with his younger self both man and boy, offering warnings of a life to come and advice on how he might live it without the small self-delusions and regrets that leave him ultimately unfulfilled. Warm, funny and always entertaining Hock and Soda Water is a nostalgic lament for a life never lived.

Naked Justice

Synopsis:
A satire on the nature of justice and the legal system. A 17 year old is accused of murder. He had a motive and the deceased's blood on his clothes. The police have his confession. The case seems a foregone conclusion. Sir John Mortimer QC, the acclaimed writer of Rumpole of the Bailey series of novels, goes back to court with a drama set in the hushed corridors and dusty chambers of the legal profession. His humorous insights brilliantly expose the dilemmas and deceits of the criminals - and of the judges they must face.
