Saturday 31 January - Downton Abbey the Grand Finale
At the end of the previous film, Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) had passed the torch of leadership to his daughter Mary (Michelle Dockery), but now that the time has come he’s reluctant to move on. Lady Mary’s divorce threatens her position in high society, and the estate faces greater financial trouble than ever thanks to the mismanagement of Cora’s brother Harold (Paul Giamatti). He’s fallen prey to a con man (Alessandro Nivola) who exerts his charms on Lady Mary. The Crawleys must embrace change, with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future.Saturday 28 February - The Roses
Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.Warning: Some flashing-lights scenes in this film may affect photosensitive viewers.
