Who Killed Lamb?
"Detective Chief Superintendant Jamieson of Scotland Yard investigates the death of prominent businessman Octavious Lamb but it appears he may not have been quite the man of industry he would have people believe, DCI Jamieson is put out to discover a whole ream of suspects, all of whom have received a letter telling them that Lamb is the person who has been blackmailing them for years. This is good strong detective drama with the fabulous Stanley Baker (who was making a few TV appearances around this time as his film career faded a little) and excellent back up from Denis Lill. Other familiar televison faces such as Peter Sallis, David Swift and John Challis appear."

Come Rain Come Shine
This was just on last night.
"David Jason stars as cockney ex-docker Don Mitchell in this emotional drama. Don is incredibly proud of his son David's affluent lifestyle. The cars, the detached house and private schooling for the children were things Don could only dream about as a young man. His wife Dora (Alison Steadman), on the other hand, has doubts about her son's financial affairs. When David's life starts to unravel under a mountain of debt, family bonds are tested to the limit."
Half Broken Things "is a psychological thriller by English author Morag Joss. It won the CWA Silver Dagger in 2003. It was adapted for television in 2007, and stars Penelope Wilton, Daniel Mays and Sinead Matthews. The lives of three very lonely people - pregnant Steph, on the run from her violent boyfriend, Michael, a petty thief who proves her knight in shining armour, and Jean, a sixty-year old spinster nearing the end of her career as a house sitter - collide dramatically within the grounds of the illustrious Walden Manor, where together they seal themselves away from the outside world and build a new life together. However, the fantasy cannot last forever, and events soon take a murderous turn when the first unexpected guest arrives."
