03/23/19 • 66 min
Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism.
In this episode, we take a look at the Merchant Ivory production, Howard’s End from 1992, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
England, early-1900s. Margaret Schlegel befriends Ruth Wilcox, the sickly wife of Henry Wilcox, a man of significant wealth. On her deathbed Ruth bequests her house, Howards End, to Margaret but this is deemed non-binding by her family and Margaret doesn't hear of the inheritance. Meanwhile, Margaret's sister Helen has taken a philanthropic interest in Leonard Bast, a poor, working class man. When Henry Wilcox and Margaret get engaged, Helen sees her chance to help out Leonard.

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism.
In this episode, we continue our love for the Carry On movies with the second in the series, Carry On Nurse which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this month.
Set in Haven Hospital where a certain men's ward is causing more havoc than the whole hospital put together. The formidable Matron's debut gives the patients a chill every time she walks past, with only Reckitt standing up to her. There's a major who is a constant nuisance, a bumbling nurse, a romance between Ted York and Nurse Denton and Bell who wants his bunion removed straight away.
