Extremely Dangerous
1999

Available on DVD Sean Bean ... Neil Byrne Juliet Aubrey ... Annie Fleming Tony Booth ... Palmer Ralph Brown ... Joe Douglas Rao ... Elgin Ron Donachie ... Gebbert Alex Norton ... Wallace John Biggins... Manson Directed by ... Sallie Aprahamian Screenplay ... Murray Smith Convicted of the shocking and gruesome slaughter of his wife and young daughter, Neil Byrne jumps off a speeding train and escapes into the night, leaving behind only his guards and a paperback novel, Patagonia, whose margins are full of inscrutable shorthand markings. As Byrne is forced undercover, taking on former acquaintances of a ruthless organised crime syndicate and evading capture by their mobs, the police and sinister government agencies, we begin to learn more details of his crime, and the significance of the missing paperback. Protested innocence seems an irrelevance as unseen masters use Byrne and his pursuers as expendable pawns in a chilling battle to protect deeper, darker secrets.... This fugitive tale, which follows a haunted man through his past and present, is about the love of family, the thrills of a forbidden affair and the violence and intrigue of a world beyond the law. The action takes place in Manchester and London where our hero has to take on the forces of Organised Crime and of the corrupt Secret Security Service and must avoid capture by the Police before he can discover those guilty of murder and theft and so prove his innocence. Filming began on June 14, 1999 for 8 weeks in London and Manchester.

Bravo Two Zero
1998

Available on DVD Sean Bean ... Andy McNab Steve Nicolson ... Dinger Rick Warden ... Tony Richard Graham ... Mark Kevin Collins ... Chris Ian Curtis ... Baz Jamie Bartlett ... Ray Robert Hobbs... Stan Ron Senior Jr... Pete Robert Whitehead... Iraqi Colonel Directed by ... Tom Clegg Screenplay ... Andy McNab, Troy Kennedy Martin This is the true story of the most highly decorated British patrol since the Boer war: an eight man SAS team inserted behind Iraqi lines during the Gulf War in January 1991. Their mission was to take out the scud missiles which Saddam Hussein was using to terrorize his enemies, as well as to sever strategic communication lines between Baghdad and North West Iraq. This top secret mission was called "Bravo Two Zero". Of the eight who went out, only five returned. Dropped into "scud alley" carrying 210-pound packs, McNab and his men soon found themselves surrounded by Saddam's army. Their radios didn't work; the weather was brutally cold. And they had been spotted. The story of Bravo Two Zero includes the no-holds-barred detail of McNab's capture by the Iraqis, and the harrowing torture they inflicted on him. Principal photography on the $6.5 million project began August 12, 1997 in South Africa's Northern Cape province. Filming continued on location for four weeks in and around the desert near the small town of Uppington, for three weeks in the country's commercial capital of Johannesburg; and for a week in London's Twickenham Studios in early October.

The Canterbury Tales: The Nun's Priest
1998

Available online Sean Bean ... The Nun's Priest Robert Lindsay ... Harry Bailey John Wood ... The Knight Billie Whitelaw ... The Wife of Bath Bill Nighy ... The Merchant Tim McInnerny ... The Pardoner Imelda Staunton.. The Prioress Neil Dudgeon... The Miller Ronan Vibert... The Squire Mark Williams... Chanticleer Geraldine Sommerville... Pertelote David Troughton... The Friar Produced by ... S4C / BBC - Christmas Films, Moscow The Nun's Priest tells the story of a rooster, hen and fox - Chaunticleer, Lady Pertelote, and Daun Russel, respectively. Chaunticleer and Pertelote discuss whether or not the rooster should fear his dreams. Chaunticleer recounts a dream he had involving a beast that looked and acted like a fox. Pertelote tells him that dreams have no meaning, and that he should take a laxative. Chaunticleer presses on, telling several stories that seem to affect Pertelote. Thinking that perhaps he was too harsh, Chaunticleer compliments Pertelote on her appearance, telling her, "Woman is man's sole joy and bliss." The Nun's Priest then moves to Daun Russel, the fox. Following a butterfly, Chaunticleer notices the fox. Before the rooster has a chance to run, the fox begins to flatter Chaunticleer, telling him that he only wants to hear him sing. Displaying vanity at its strongest, the rooster breaks into song, at which time Daun Russel grabs Chaunticleer by the neck and begins to run. With the entire farm - people and animals, alike - chasing after them, the rooster suggests to the fox that he turn around and laugh at those in pursuit. Once the fox turns around and opens his mouth, Chaunticleer scrambles up a tree to safety. Though Daun Russel tries again to appeal to Chaunticleer's vanity, it doesn't work the second time around. Produced in Cardiff, London & Moscow by Christmas Films, Beryl Productions aka Pizazz & Right Angle for S4C in association with NNC Wales and Home Box Office.

Ronin
1998

Available on DVD Sean Bean ... Spence Robert de Niro ... Sam Jonathan Pryce ... Seamus Jean Reno ... Vincent Natascha McElhone ... Deirdre Stellan Skarsgard ... Gregor Katarina Witt.. Natacha Skip Suddeth... Larry Directed by ... John Frankenheimer Written by ... Richard Weisz Screenplay by ... J.D. Zeik Ronin, Japanese for "masterless samurai", deals with a group of former intelligence agents who have lost their way in the post-Cold War environment. They're hired by an unknown person to perform a job as a private contractor of sorts, only to realize that at the end of the operation they are to be killed because they know too much. Ronin is really a character piece that revolves around the history of each member of the team, examining their morality (or lack thereof) and how they reconcile what they did for the American, British and French governments, especially in the face of their current situation. It all begins with a meeting in a warehouse in Paris, arranged by Deidre, an ex-Irish terrorist who has recruited five hired men to locate a mysterious briefcase. "It's something I want that others are holding on to," she says. Each member of the team has a speciality: Spence, the arms expert; Larry, the driver; Gregor, the electronics ace; the enigmatic Sam, and all of them are framed around Vincent, ex-agent of French Information. There are epic chases on the high ground around Nice, bloody gun fights at the arena at Arles, and traps along the banks of the Seine in this game of cat and mouse. A number of scenes were also filmed in the studios at Epinay. Ronin was filmed during four month shoot beginning in November 1997 in France.

Airborne
1998

Available on DVD Sean Bean ... Dave Toombs Kim Coates ... Bob Murdoch Colm Feore ... Ron Simpson Steve Guttenberg ... Bill McNeil Torri Higginson ... Tammy Gemmel Directed by ... Julian Grant Written by ... Tony Johnston & Julian Grant A covert-operations team is kept up the government's sleeve to infiltrate high-risk situations whenever needed. They are recruited to steal a deadly virus from a band of terrorists. Led by Commander Bill McNeil, the team confronts the thieves in a daring act of air piracy, rappelling down a cable fired at and magnetically attached to the terrorists' jet from their stealth plane. After an intense mid-air standoff the team retrieves the bottled disease. But when two members of the group turn up murdered, McNeil starts to think that their own government is knocking them off to keep the virus a secret. Overwhelmed with suspicion, he and the remaining team steal the virus back and become the desperate quarry of a group of mysterious mercenaries who might be more familiar to them than they suspect. An intense cat and mouse game envelops the two remaining agents who now don't know who to trust or what to believe. This third feature film from Toronto director Julian Grant was intended from the beginning to be a rip-off of Mission: Impossible crossed with The Rock and is packed with gunfights, stunts, chemically-frozen human beings whose limbs snap off during taught action sequences and some really terrible acting by Steve Guttenberg, the actor for whom this film was supposed to be his doorway into the action-hero genre. Filmed in and around Toronto, Canada in the summer of 1997,

Jimmy is a hard-drinking brewery worker in the city of Sheffield, with an arrogant lack of respect for authority. His entire life revolves around football (Sheffield United) and while he shows the potential, he has never had the courage or discipline to make anything of it. Jimmy's fortunes take a turn for the better after he is spotted by football manager Ken Jackson, while he's playing for his local pub team. After playing brilliantly for Jackson, Jimmy is offered a trial at Sheffield United. However the evening before the trial he bows to the pressure of his class and gets drunk; he wakes up feeling rough and blows his chances with SUFC.

Antonia Bird Writers ... Colin Dexter (characters), John Brown (screenplay) When Chief Inspector Morse goes to prison - not permanently, but to solve the killing of a convicted real-estate swindler - he discovers that it's not any easier to trap a murderer when the suspects are already locked up. The dead man, Lawrence Cryer, was one of an "unholy" trio of real-estate entrepreneurs who stole millions of pounds from their investors. They were convicted and sent to serve out two-year terms at Farnleigh, an experimental low-security prison, where the inmates are known as "guests". Morse is sure that a large amount of money from the swindle is hidden away, and Cryer's two remaining partners-in-crime - the cynical Alex Bailey and the born-again Christian Brian Thornton immediately come under suspicion. In their investigation, Morse and Detective Sergeant Lewis enter the world of the prison, where they soon discover that everything is not as "progressive" as it seems. While Morse must tread carefully with the prison's warden, Mrs. Stevens, whose reputation is on the line, Lewis must keep his eye on an ambitious young police cadet who is trying to crack his first big case. And where does Charlie Bennett, a man who claims he was mistakenly sent to prison for his wife's murder, fit in? Absolute Conviction was filmed in August 1991 and is the fourth episode of Series 6 of Inspector Morse.

Jeff Pope, Terry Winsor In 1983, a ruthless South London gang thought they had hit the jackpot when, after pouring petrol over guards in a Brinks-Mat warehouse at Heathrow Airport, and threatening to set them alight if they didn't open the safe, they discovered - not the #1 million in cash they were expecting - but three tons of bullion destined for the Far East. Britain's biggest-ever robbery - the bullion was worth #26 million - led eventually to betrayal, death and misery, and the imprisonment of a dozen people in a series of trials spread over the best part of a decade. London Weekend Television had to wait until no more trials were pending before they could screen the drama in 1992. The gang leader, Micky McAvoy, is currently serving 25 years in prison. In spite of McAvoy's belief that his friends would never betray him, the vast bulk of the gold was quickly melted down and was never recovered. About #18 million of the proceeds were traced to various bank accounts. Filming took place from 23 March until 23 April, 1992 in the East End of London, in Kent and in Spain where, in time-honoured tradition, some of the villains were believed to have fled. The production was shot on a budget of less than #500,000.

A wintry graveyard, trees with black branches, a small group - mother, father and daughter - gathered desolately by a graveside to mourn a departed family member. And on the headstone, the picture of a leering, tongue-rolling Alsatian dog. While Jack weeps helplessly, Claudie recalls her dog-dominated childhood. To the despair of her French mother, Marie, Prince tyrannises the household, scaring visitors and showing a particular aversion to pregnant women. Though gentle with Claudie, he senses Marie's dislike of him, and often blocks her way to the lavatory, forcing her to run desperately round to the neighbouring houses. Years later, musing on her father's single-minded devotion, the adult Claudie returns to her luxury high-rise London flat, and is warmly greeted - by an Alsatian.

Her family have aspirations to move into the aristocracy and want her to marry the repellent Mr Soames as part of their plan. Clarissa manages to escape from them with the help of the handsome Lovelace, whose intentions towards her prove to be less than entirely honourable. But it is the steadfast virtue of Miss Harlowe that turns the tables on Lovelace as he discovers some ugly truths about himself and searches for redemption at the hands of his best friend. With a budget of over #3 million, filming on Clarissa began 29 Apr 1991 and continued for 16 weeks until 19 July 1991.

Tell Me That You Love Me
1991

Limited Availability Online Sean Bean ... Gabriel Lewis Judith Scott ... Laura Sims James Wilby ... Michael Evans Rowena Cooper ... Connie Sims Dervla Kirwan ... Morna David Lyon ... Leslie Boyd Directed by ... Bruce MacDonald Writer ... Adrian Hodges Laura Simms is in her early thirties. Her ex-boyfriend Michael, whom she still sees, is charming, unreliable and unfaithful. Over Laura's birthday dinner, he tells her he is getting married. This upsets Laura and she runs to the Ladies' Room; while she's away, Michael scrawls their waitress's telephone number on the bill, which Laura sees on her return. She reacts angrily and rushes out of the restaurant, eventually losing her way in a dark alley. She is followed by a stranger, who saw what happened and paid the bill. He offers to call her a taxi. Tell Me That You Love Me reworks the classic women's magazine romance into a deliberately light drama with menacing undertones. The opening sequences contain romantic cliches: candle-lit dinners, beautiful clothes, an irresponsible yet irresistable ex-boyfriend, and a strong, silent lover. But here is where conventional romances end. In this case, Tell Me That You Love Me becomes a thriller. The heroine discovers that her dream lover is a violent and obsessive man who punches a drunk in a restaurant, believing a pass was made at Laura; who leaves a string of messages on her answerphone and inundating her with twelve dozen roses after they've quarreled and becomes insanely jealous of Michael. In the end, the consequences of this relationship are both menacing, and tragic. Tell Me That You Love Me was filmed 08 October to 04 November 1990.

My Kingdom for a Horse
1991

Limited Availability Online Sean Bean ... Steve Jane Clifford ... Sharon Sheila Hancock ... Steve's Mother Bryan Pringle ... Steve's Father Andrew Livingston ... Pud Directed by ... Barbara Rennie Writer ... John Godber Steve teaches history at the school which he previously attended as a pupil ("five years as a kid, eight years as a teacher"), and devotes his spare time to the Sealed Knot Society, dressed in 17th century uniform and wielding a pikestaff. His commanding officer is also his head of department. The action starts on the field of Naseby, on one of those mornings when "I want to die in an early skirmish". Steve is a school teacher who still lives at home, cannot make life decisions, but is NOT so geeky that he doesn't fancy a girl, can put up a fight, and proves that indeed there is a real man in there. He drinks with his friend Pud and on the surface, the two appear to be codependent. He tolerates the excessive attention he gets from his mother, transports his pike on the roofrack of his unreliable car and eventually, he plucks up enough courage to make a date with Sharon only to have his mate, Pud, tag along. He sees his pupils as future cannon fodder, like himself. With wry humour, the play explores his dreams of escape and occasional rebellious outbursts against the footsoldier's lot. When Sharon points out his inability to take control of his life and lack of courage to change anything, Steve realizes what he stands to lose and what kind of life he is doomed to live out and declares his manhood. My Kingdom for a Horse was filmed in September 1988.

Jim Sheridan Writer ... John B. Keane (play), Jim Sheridan (writer) Ireland, 1939, memories of the great potato famine (1845-49) still persist, as do the country's feudal farming practices. After years of backbreaking toil, tenant Bull McCabe has transformed the field from three acres of rocky wasteland into a lush green pasture. But when the widow landlady decides to put the property up for auction without considering his work, an outraged McCabe is determined to buy it at all costs. Unfortunately, there is another interested party, an American, whose plans for the field include paving it over to provide access to the limestone-rich hills beyond. Further complicating Bull's troubles are his slow-witted son Tadgh, who to his father's dismay shows no inclination towards making anything of a life for himself; and McCabe's wife Maggie, to whom Bull has not spoken a single word since the suicide death of their other son twenty years earlier. When Tadgh falls in love with a rough gypsy girl, Bull is outraged. The gypsies are a displaced people who don't care about the land - and to Bull, the land - and his field - means stability, ownership and family tradition. Bull's constant companion, the simple minded Bird O'Donnell tries to warn him of the consequences of his obsession with both the field and his quest to make a man out of Tadgh, but his advice goes unheeded, with ultimately tragic consequences.

Windprints
1990

Available on DVD Sean Bean ... Anton van Heerden John Hurt ... Charles Rutherford Marius Weyers ... Henning Lesley Fong ... Nhadiep Kurt Egelhof ... Pieterse Dana Niehaus ... Helmut Directed by ... David Wicht Writer ... David Wicht Windprints is the story of a young South African trying to come to terms with his role in a society going through tremendous social and political changes. Anton van Heerden, a news cameraman working at the forefront of the political upheaval in Johannesburg during the early 1980's, is sent to film a manhunt in Namibia where he is forced to confront his attitude to his work and his Afrikaner roots, with violent consequences. Anton is known as a highly skilled cameraman, capable of getting sensational news footage. Like many cameramen, he uses the camera to keep an objective distance between himself and the events he records. A colleague, Thozamile, however, accuses him of recklessness and urges him to get more personally involved in the events he films. As his camera work is seen across the world he has a responsibility to ensure it reflects the events accurately rather than relying on sensation for effect. Anton is given the opportunity to consider Thozamile's challenge when he is sent to Namibia by his bureau chief to work with veteran news journalist, Charles Rutherford. To his people, Nhadiep's ability to defy the authorities has come to symbolize a spirit of defiance against the settlers in Namibia, despite his violence towards his own people. Anton is gradually drawn in by the mysteries surrounding the enigmatic Nhadiep and soon finds himself aggressively urging the pragmatic and skeptical Charles to get to the 'heart of the story', with dramatic consequences for all. Set against the stark Namibian landscape, Windprints is in many ways a parable, a window onto the complex world of a society that is struggling to contain the rapid and inevitable changes that are taking place. It is told from the point of view of a young liberal Afrikaner who, though bewildered by the problems that beset his country, learns to fight for what he believes.
