The Time of Our Lives

A sweeping story of the passions and fashions of the 1950s and 1960s, charting the lives of two very different families. It is 1953. At the Coronation party at the Palace Hotel, two lives are about to change forever. Claudia—16, beautiful, fragile, and an outsider in this small seaside town—finds herself talking to Michael, also a newcomer, who is struggling with a rocky marriage. Their instant, irresistible attraction to one another will have consequences which stretch far into the future. Against the ever-changing backdrop of events ranging from grey post-war austerity to technicolor rock and roll, from Suez to the summer of love, from Bill Haley to The Beatles, from the buttoned-up glamour of the 1950s to the rebellious freedom of the 1960s, The Time of Our Lives is an intensely passionate love story and a captivating chronicle of the times.

The Things We Do for Love

From glass slippers to glass ceilings, via glam rock, punk, and the New Romantics, the lives of two very different woman from the same small town unfold against the backdrop of a divided nation. It is 1969, and eight-year-old Julia dreams of being a princess. But a fairytale wedding is no guarantee of living happily ever after. It is only when Julia begins to realize her real potential that personal fulfilment beckons, but is it too late to change her destiny? Rebellious 19-year-old Iris is determined to remain childless and carve out a successful career for herself, but as the liberal 1950s give way to the materialistic 1980s, Iris embarks on a passionate affair that threatens to destroy everything she believes in. Two decades, two women, two secrets. And the choices that face us all.

On a perfect spring morning, Alexander catches a train into London, but never reaches work. Instead, he spends the day with Kate, a waitress he met the night before. Such a perfect day, Nell goes to the seaside, hoping that the sea air will blow away the doubts she has about her life. As Nell ponders why falling in love is so different from loving someone, Alexander allows himself to imagine leaving his old life behind and starting afresh. And by a strange turn of fate, there's an opportunity to do just that.
