4 Eddie (Jack Smethurst): 'This is a respectable neighbourhood.
We don't like ignorant loud mouthed rabble rousers.
Understand?'
Bill (Rudolph Walker): 'Perfectly. When are you leaving?'
(Love Thy Neighbour). Courtesy of Canal + Image UK Ltd 61
5 Eddie fears the worst as Bill and his workmates pretend to be
cannibals. 'You wouldn't like me, I'm all gristle', he declares in
a desperate effort to appeal to their sense of good taste (Love
Thy Neighbour). Courtesy of Canal + Image UK Ltd 61
6 'He's ruined my wedding': Rita (Una Stubbs) despairs at the

which Studio Canal own the rights, not the BBC). Studio Canal
generously allowed use of the stills without charge. 62

will temporarily forget his prejudiced views and kiss the man to
his left (Till Death Us Do Part). Courtesy of Canal+ Image
UK Ltd 63
8 George (Om Puri) and Ella (Linda Bassett) enjoy a special
screening of a favourite Bollywood movie at their nephew's
cinema in Bradford (East is East). Courtesy of Channel 4 63
9 William (Hugh Grant) is so caught up in his own feelings of
loss and loneliness that he does not see the newspaper headlines
referring to the 'glamour photographs' of Anna (Julia Roberts)
(Notting Hill). Courtesy of NBC Universal 64
10 Private lives and public places: Anna and William get to know
each other better (Notting Hill). Courtesy of NBC Universal 64

of foreign policy and domestic affairs will figure prominently
in his political and personal plans (Love Actually). Courtesy of
NBC Universal 65 |
