Based on Louisa May Alcott's universally beloved novel, 'Little Women' is a new three-hour adaptation, from award winning creator of 'Call the Midwife' Heidi Thomas and directed by Vanessa Caswill (Thirteen).

Set against the backdrop of a country divided, the story follows the four March sisters: Meg (Willa Fitzgerald), Jo (Maya Hawke), Beth (Annes Elwy) and Amy (Kathryn Newton) on their journey from childhood to adulthood while their father (Dylan Baker) is away at war. Under the guidance of their mother Marmee (Emily Watson), the girls navigate what it means to be a young woman: From gender roles to sibling rivalry, first love, loss and marriage. Accompanied by the charming boy next door Laurie Laurence (Jonah Hauer-King), their cantankerous wealthy Aunt March (Angela Lansbury) and benevolent neighbour Mr. Laurence (Michael Gambon), 'Little Women' is a coming-of-age story that is as relevant and engaging today as it was on its original publication in 1868.

December 1944. A civilian victim of the Battle of Bastogne scrounges through garbage to find a scrap of food. "I don't even see those things", a war-numbed GI says. "I want to remember them!" his buddy snaps.

Bastogne veteran Robert Pirosh remembers with his Oscar-winning screenplay for 'Battleground', a gripping tale of 101st Airbourne troops resisting Hitler's fierce, final counter-offensive. Directed by William A. Wellman, the superb cast includes James Whitmore as a bantam rooster of a sarge and Van Johnson as a wisecracking PFC.

December 1944. Rumours are flying among the battle-weary infantrymen of the Fragile Fox Company: they're being sent to the rear! But the rumours vanish in the dust of the approaching tanks as Germany unleashes a savage surprise counterattack. The Battle of the Bulge is underway.

Oscar Winner Jack Palance stars as Lieutenant Joe Costa, a heroic soldier fighting on two fronts. One pits Costa and his men against the thundering Panzer 88s and spitting machine-guns of Nazi armoured units. And the other - a cowardly and incompetent captain is perhaps even more destructive than the enemy's elite troops. Breeding uncertainly and alarm within the ranks, his lack of leadership forces Costa into a fateful choice: continue to risk the lives of his men...or take the life of the captain!
