The first part of the sixth season of the Spranos will repeat leading to the last six episodes of the season in march. Rome also continues to air with a new episode airing in late february.

LONGFORD
Crime, punishment, redemption and forgiveness are the themes that drive this powerful true story about one of the most controversial public figures in British history: Lord Frank Aungier Pakenham, the 7th Earl of Longford (Jim Broadbent). Set in the last three decades of his life, the film explores Longford’s Roman Catholic faith, his fervent belief in the power of redemption, and how he became a tireless champion of prisoners’ rights, no matter how repugnant their crimes. Most notably, the drama recounts Longford’s infamous meetings and correspondence with Myra Hindley (Samantha Morton), who was implicated in the murder of several children in England in 1966 and was vilified by the public while serving a life sentence in prison. Playing out amidst the media furor of the time, the story explores the reasons behind Longford’s steadfast conviction that Hindley should be released and rehabilitated, showing how his advocacy and good faith, ironically, may have ransomed his good name and a reputation built over decades. This movie also features Andy Serkis and Lindsay Duncan.
