The true story of Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, it's 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn't able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It's not until a live BBC television show, 'That's Life', surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children - now adults - that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

In 1845 at Haworth on the Yorkshire moors, sisters Anne, Charlotte, and Emily Bronte and their father, a retired parson with failing eyesight, are continually troubled by their drunken, irresponsible brother Branwell, who wastes every opportunity given him to become an artist. Charlotte fears for her own sight while Emily seeks refuge in writing about the imaginary land of Gondor but all three are fearful for their future should their menfolk die. Charlotte is impressed by Emily's work and encourages her to write a novel, inspired by a story told her by a former employer, which will become 'Wuthering Heights' All three sisters write novels loosely based on their own experiences using androgynous masculine pen-names which are ultimately accepted for publication. Their success allows them to identify their true gender and to save the roof over their heads but Branwell's self-indulgence leads to his early death and both Emily and Anne succumb to sickness, dying young. An end-title informs of Charlotte's continued success but she too will not survive middle age with their elderly father ironically left as the last of the Bronte family.—don @ minifie-1

The story of the relationship between painter Dora Carrington (Dame Emma Thompson) and author Lytton Strachey (Jonathan Pryce) in a World War I England of cottages and countryside. Although platonic due to Strachey's homosexuality, the relationship was nevertheless a deep and complicated one. When Carrington did develop a more physical relationship with soldier Ralph Partridge (Steven Waddington), Strachey was able to welcome him as a friend, although Partridge remained somewhat uneasy, not so much with Strachey's sexual orientation as with the fact that he was a conscientious objector.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

On Christmas Eve in 1843, a jolly man named Harry Huffman (Fra Fee) sings about his love for the holiday ("I Love Christmas"). He encounters his elderly uncle Ebeneezer Scrooge (Luke Evans) and his dog Prudence, but Scrooge manages to evade him long enough to decline giving any money to a charity and add in a debt owed to him by the local toy shop owner, Tom Jenkins (Giles Terera), who can barely afford medical treatment for his frail mother. Jenkins owed 25 pounds but asks for 2 more days to pay the debt. Scrooge adds another 25 pounds to the debt for the delay and the inconvenience caused to him.After returning to his counting house, he rudely declines an invitation to a Christmas dinner party from Harry and reluctantly lets his clerk, Bob Cratchit (Johnny Flynn), take the day off for Christmas the next day. Bob is underpaid by Scrooge (he deducts wages for any mistakes at work and also cuts his pay for taking a day off on Christmas) and lives in poverty with his wife Ethel Cratchit (Rebecca Gethings) and their many children, including Tiny Tim (Rupert Turnbull), who is seriously ill and cannot receive medical treatment due to being unable to afford it. Scrooge closes up for the night and goes to his usual Tavern for dinner. He and Prudence go home and Scrooge sings about his exasperation with Christmas ("Tell Me").Once he gets home, he is soon haunted by the spirit of his former business partner and friend, Jacob Marley (Jonathan Pryce), who is forced to pull long, heavy chains around his soul as a penalty for the bad actions he made in life. He warns Scrooge that he will suffer a similar fate when he dies, (except his chains will be even heavier and longer) unless he changes for the better and has arranged for three visitors to come by his house to teach him how to be a better man.Once Scrooge is about to go to bed, he encounters the first visitor, The Ghost of Christmas Past (Olivia Colman) (an excitable shape-shifting ghost made of candle wax with a flame on top of her head), who proceeds to take him through his life before present where he was forced to work in a factory on Christmas Day as a child due to his father being in a Debtors Prison and being visited by his younger sister Jen (Jemima Lucy Newman) (who died in childbirth giving birth to Harry).When he was a young man and worked for a kind-heart businessman named Mr. Fezziwig (James Cosmo) and was once engaged to his daughter Isabel (Jessie Buckley) ("Happiness") before Jacob Marley partnered with him for a more financially-increased job and Isabel left him when she witnesses Scrooge and Marley shut down a baker family's shop (the baker is revealed to be Bob Cratchit's father) and him focusing more on his business than her ("Later Never Comes"), though Scrooge insists it was because both he and Isabel needed to be financially secure before they could be married.Scrooge then meets the next visitor, The Ghost of Christmas Present (Trevor Dion Nicholas) (a giant, fun-loving spirit wearing a giant green robe), who wants to show Scrooge how to live life ("I Like Life"). He shows Scrooge how Harry will spend Christmas. Harry loves his uncle due to being told of the kindness of Scrooge's sister Jen, who died giving birth to him. He then is shown how the Cratchit family will spend Christmas in their small home and poor health, but go forth in life with happiness, especially Cratchit's youngest son, the disabled Tiny Tim ("The Beautiful Day"). When Scrooge asks the Ghost of Christmas Present about Tim's fate, the Ghost replies saying that he would have to ask the next visitor.Soon, Scrooge meets the next visitor, The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, who shows him a future where Tom Jenkins (the man who Scrooge had made pay large debts) leads a celebration of expressing gratitude to Scrooge ("Thank You Very Much"). At first, Scrooge thinks he's being praised, but Prudence soon finds out they are celebrating his death. Scrooge soon learns the truth himself after finding out that Tiny Tim has passed away and the Cratchit family are devastated. Upon seeing that only a few people have attended his funeral (including an elderly Prudence, who proceeds to abandon Scrooge's grave to parts unknown and a few men who are only attending because lunch was promised), Scrooge is also given an example of what Hell is like, and that is where he will go after death for eternity with heavy chains if he does not change his ways. Scrooge makes a vow that he will change for the better if it means that Tim will live on.The next morning, Scrooge has fully repented his greedy ways and proceeds to spread joy to his associates, like attending Harry's dinner, making Cratchit his business partner and erasing Tom's debt. He also promises Tiny Tim that he will be able to seek medical help with his father's pay rise. Scrooge then celebrates Christmas with his new assortment of companions. ("I'll Begin Again").

The tribes of Israel need to defeat the superior might of the Philistines: "Now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have." (I Samuel, 8:5). And so the prophet Samuel gives the Hebrews their first king, Saul, a simple farmer, who with God's help becomes a brave and mighty warlord who leads the united tribes of Israel against their enemies. Saul, however, has incessant doubts about his mission. Not trustful enough of divine wisdom, he acts of his own accord and thus sins against the Lord. The influential prophet Samuel turns away from Saul in order to select a new king according to God's will: David. He is still a young boy, tending sheep in the fields, when, secretly Samuel oints him as the next king of the Israelites. When David - as courageous as he is intelligent - emerges victorious from his encounter with Goliath, the Philistines' most powerful warrior, he becomes a hero. His fame arouses the jealousy of King Saul, who senses that David is going to dispute his right to be king - and tries to kill him. David flees from Saul, and finds many supporters and loyal companions who believe that he is destined to be king. In exile, David waits for his time to come, since he does not want to take the place of Saul by violence. He is young and in the prime of his strength, while King Saul is a broken man. When Saul falls upon his sword after losing a battle, David's hour is at hand. The new King David conquers Jerusalem. The magnificent city is to become the royal residence for the glorious hero, who now plans to leave the business of war to others in future and to become a King of Peace. However, this temperamental man, with so many years of battle behind him and still in the bloom of youth, is not predestined for a quiet, orderly life at all. Very soon he plunges into an illicit love affair with Bathsheba, a married woman - an affair that threatens to become the king's undoing when it turns out that she is expecting his child. To conceal his adulterous fatherhood, the king sends Bathsheba's husband Uriah - one of his best and most loyal soldiers - to his death, and then marries her. The prophet and royal adviser Nathan announces to David that his act will result in divine punishment: the Lord will not countenance such an outrage. Violence and evil will continue in David's own family and bring disaster upon the heads of the numerous sons born to David from his wives and concubines. Then the child of David and Bathsheba dies. She gives him another son, Solomon, but very soon David suffers another sharp blow of fate: his grown-up son Absalom kills one of his brothers for the latter's rape of his sister. David is far too mild in response to this: not only does he fail to bring the incestuous seducer to justice, he also leaves the fratricide unpunished. The king does not realise that he is gradually losing control over his family, and that his hold on the people is also growing weaker. For David is obsessed with his plan of building the finest and largest temple in the world in Jerusalem. He demands immense sums from the populace for this project, even though God has commanded him to leave the completion of the building to his successors. David's ambitious son Absalom thus finds it very easy to drum up support for a conspiracy against his father. After a fierce battle, culminating in Absalom's death, David makes it back to Jerusalem.—Anonymous

In 1939, Germany's Hamburg-America Line announced a voyage from Germany to Cuba. 937 people, the vast majority being Jews, signed up for the opportunity to escape Nazi Germany. Unbeknownst to the passengers, the visas they purchased were from a corrupt Cuban director of immigration, and they were invalid. Upon arrival in Havana, only 28 people were allowed to disembark, while the rest remained on board for weeks as they sailed to Florida, and eventually Canada, searching for safe haven. Sadly the ship returned to Antwerp after more than a month at sea. Forced back under Nazi rule as the low countries fell, it is estimated that approximately 250 of the refugees died in the extermination camps in occupied Poland.—JBentley
