A bit more info

The finale to the Proms series has become a riotous affair, with large crowds of people enjoying this less-formal approach to concert-going. Here we present some of the best studio recordings of these timeless classics.

On Saturday the CD includes Elgar’s Land of Hope and Glory, Jupiter from Holst’s The Planets and Handel’s Zadok the Priest. Sunday’s CD features Rule, Britannia!, Parry’s Jerusalem, and Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.

Abigail's Party free on DVD, this Sunday with The Observer.

Alison Steadman stars as Beverly, the overbearing and garish housewife who invites her neighbours over for a small, suburban soiree.

This classic BBC TV production, originally shown on Play for Today in 1977, wickedly took apart the tastelessness, pretensions and pomposity of England's aspiring, middle classes. Hilarious and moving, this "cocktail party from hell" hasn't lost any of its power



The original BBC TV production of Mike Leigh's classic 70s play and number 11 in the BFI's all-time top 100 British TV programmes.

As a get together of neighbours turns from social embarrassment, to personal antagonism, to crisis the audience is manipulated into squirming and laughing but is ultimately shocked.

Written and directed by Mike Leigh.
Starring Alison Steadman, Tim Stern, Janine Duvitski, John Salthouse and Harriet Reynolds.

Free in the Mail on sunday Nobel Son http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0483756/
Released FREE inside this week's Mail on Sunday, the British premiere of Nobel Son, starring Alan Rickman and Danny DeVito.
Nobel Son tells the story of Barkley Michaelson (Bryan Greenberg) , who is in a deep life rut. He's struggling to finish his PhD thesis when his father, the learned Eli Michaelson (Alan Rickman) , wins the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Barkley and his mother, Sarah (Mary Steenburgen) , a renowned forensic psychiatrist, now have the misfortune of living with a monster whose philandering ways have become less and less discreet. As if Barkley's world is not bad enough, on the eve of his father receiving the Nobel Prize, Barkley is kidnapped and the requested ransom is $2 million - the Nobel Prize money! Eli's selfish refusal to pay soon spurs a venomous tale of familial dysfunction, lust, betrayal and, ultimately, revenge.
Don't miss The Mail on Sunday to get your hands on this "outrageously entertaining....insanely clever thriller" (Hollywood.com)
