Body and Soul Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is almost a rite of passage for beautiful actresses to portray a nun-Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Deborah Kerr, Jennifer Jones and Julie Andrews have all starred as women with religious vocations (and never have whimples been more flattering). Heart and Soul features beautiful Kristin Scott Thomas as the innocent yet sensual Sister Gabriel/Anna Gibson, a woman torn between the two worlds of a Welsh convent and a gritty English mill in a story based on Marcelle Bernstein's novel.
Sister Gabriel/Anna is already doubting her vocation when a family tragedy takes her back out into the world that she renounced 16 years ago. Believable character arcs, realistic sets and an excellent supporting cast make this a very satisfying five hour drama. A must see for Thomas fans. Very gripping-I had to make myself quit watching and go to bed!! Yeah BBC.

Seeing Red: Masterpiece Theatre (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I defy anyone to watch this drama, based on the life of a British TV actress who became a leading child care crusader, and firstly not cry, secondly not feel compelled to help as Coral Atkins did. Lancashire is perfect as the ballsy, party Girl who will stop at nothing to do right by her charges.
Inspirational and beautiful.

The extraordinary true story of Coral Atkins--the '70s star who became a children's crusader.Sarah Lancashire stars as Coral Atkins, the ultimate '70s party girl and star of stage and screen, in this touching real-life drama.Beautiful and talented, Coral Atkins had fame, fortune and a life of luxury. One day, while appearing at a charity event, she witnessed the distress of a young child in foster care, and her life changed forever. Despite furious battles with authorities, and while pursuing a hectic career as the star of Family At War, Coral Atkins revolutionized the fostering system. Her determination to help children whom the system had failed led her to buy a rambling country house, which she transformed into the home where many children experience real affection for the first time. Highly disturbed and abused children found themselves in the often unruly, but never dull world of Coral Atkins. Hers is not only an exceptional story, but also a penetrating indictment of the social services.
