Tea With The Dames

Tea With The Dames is a unique celebration of the lives and careers of four of our most iconic actresses; Dame Eileen Atkins, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Joan Plowright and Dame Maggie Smith.

All four have gone from being fledgling actresses in the 1950s to acting royalty. They've watched each other's careers grow and bloom and have celebrated life's ups and downs together.

You're invited to spend time with these acting legends as they talk about their lives and their professional experiences across theatre, television and film. Candid, funny, caustic, irreverent,

poignant and utterly engrossing, this unmissable release is proof that there is truly nothing like a Dame.

Red Joan

Joan Stanley (Judi Dench) is a widow living out a quiet retirement in the suburbs when the British Secret Service places her under arrest. The charge: providing classified scientific information -

including details on the building of the atomic bomb - to the Soviet government for decades. As she is interrogated, Joan relives the dramatic events that shaped her life and beliefs;

her student days at Cambridge, where she excelled at physics while challenging deep-seated sexism; her tumultuous love affair with a dashing political radical (Tom Hughes); and the devastation of WWII,

which inspired her to risk everything in pursuit of peace.

Six Minutes To Midnight

In the summer of 1939, school teacher Thomas Miller (Eddie Izzard) takes a last minute role teaching English at the Augusta-Victoria College, Bexhill-on-Sea, a finishing school on the south coast of England.

Despite the political storm clouds forming across Europe, daughters of influential families in Nazi Germany learn deportment, Shakespeare and how to be faithful members of Hitler's League of German Girls.

Under the watchful eye of their headmistress Miss Rocholl (Judi Dench), the girls practice their English and learn how to represent the ideal of German womanhood. When the body of a former teacher is discovered,

it triggers a sequence of deadly events where the girls and Miss Rocholl discover a world where loyalty is more important than truth.
