Wolf Hall (15)
It's hard to imagine in these days of catch-up television that anyone missed Peter Kosminsky's imperious adaptation of Hilary Mantel's bestseller who didn't want to. But if that's you, or if you want to experience the whole thing again, or if you just didn't quite take in the majesty of it first time round, here's the series collection. As well as the six broadcast episodes there are deleted scenes, a Making Of featurette and interviews with Kosminsky and stars Mark Rylance (Thomas Cromwell), Damian Lewis (Henry VIII), Clare Foy (the scheming Anne Boleyn) and Jonathan Pryce (Cardinal Wolsey).
Mr Turner (12)
Mike Leigh's acclaimed biopic of JMW Turner won Timothy Spall the Best Actor award at last year's Cannes film festival and turns on the triumphs and tribulations of the last 25 years of the English painter's life. Another regular Leigh collaborator, Lesley Manville, plays Turner's scientist friend Mary Somerville.
Pictures Of The Old World (E)
Shelved by the Communist authorities after its original release in 1972, this documentary by Prague-based Slovak Dusan Hanak has since been acclaimed as a classic. Inspired in part by Martin Martinceck's hard-hitting photographic studies of rural life, it's a moving meditation on human experience.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
