　　由英国BBC出品的同志题材影片《美丽曲线》改编自阿兰·霍灵赫斯特获得布克奖的同名小说，以1983－1988撒切尔夫人连任英国首相时期为背景，以写实的手法，通过对青年尼克·盖斯特的描写进而刻画了当时英国社会的变迁。

　　Fleeing from the twin horrors of prospective marriage and the baleful Aunt Agatha, Bertie sails to New York with Jeeves, where he hopes to lie low but instead he is charged with minding the ultra-shy mother's boy Wilmot, son of Lady Malvern, and showing him the high life. Oddly enough Wilmot takes only too well to the night-spots of Manhattan, wearing Bertie out in the process. Tuppy Glossop also arrives, to talk about car exportation with wealthy businessman Mr. Stoker. Unfortunately Tupper's business plan is nowhere near as lofty as it should be.

　　"BBC Three comedy series, set in Edinburgh, about two young teenagers who are having a baby together"

　　本剧集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜剧，创意和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担当。三男三女的主要人物构成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（其实已经在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因此很有不少根本没看过本剧的媒体人士和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设计和表现等诸多方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平的好作品而已。当然总体来说，英剧的水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧的创意一般也就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧根据最初的角色设定来自由发挥，编剧队伍的构成也是不断变化，老的走新的来，造成美剧情节连贯性差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面化，缺少发展。这都是题外话了。《Coupling》的主要人物包括优柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、举止语言古怪、总也找不到女友的Jeff，头脑简单、外表性感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbian porn非常热中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作武器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对衰老和肥胖极度敏感的美容师Sally三位女士。本剧的主线包括Steve和 Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来和上司发展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之间若有若无到若即若离再到情深难舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中的各种奇事，等等。本剧在情节设计中所达到的精致和完美程度让人叹为观止，而六位当时并不算大明星的青年演员的所展现精湛演技更是具有顶尖演员的水平，无怪乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站可以领略到其受欢迎的程度。

　　《9号秘事》这部以反转著称的英剧是《疯城记》主创史蒂夫·佩姆伯顿与瑞斯·希尔史密斯的最新作品，自开播之后广受剧迷追捧。在接受英媒采访时，佩姆伯顿透露第三季是“特别黑暗的一季，其中有两三集我们将恐怖惊悚元素推向了新高度。”这一季依然会由六个独立故事组成，故事发生的位置总与9号有关，一座1978年的阿尔卑斯山小木屋、一家关门之后的餐馆、一间艺术馆和一个KTV包房成为第三季上演好戏的舞台。

　　任何一位念过中学、对西方文化略知一二的人都应该听说过《鲁滨逊漂流记》的故事（除非你上课的时候在睡觉……）。《鲁滨逊漂流记》是作者英国作家丹尼尔· 笛福撰写的一部以 "荒岛求生"为主题的冒险小说，这部小说一问世即风靡全球又历久不衰，在世界各地拥有一代又一代的读者。小说从初版至今，已出了几百版，几乎译成了世界上所有主要文字。据说，除了《圣经》之外，《鲁滨逊漂流记》是再版最多的一本书。该书被誉为英国文学史上的第一部长篇小说，成了世界文学宝库中一部不朽的名著。《鲁滨逊漂流记》上一次被改编成电视剧还是在40年前，是1964年由法国拍摄的。而最近一次被搬上大银幕是1997年，鲁滨逊一角由皮尔斯·布鲁斯南（前007）主演。
　　NBC这部野心勃勃的《新鲁滨逊漂流记》可以看作《鲁滨逊漂流记》的21世纪改编版－－有书中传统的冒险元素，也有当今观众最喜爱的电脑特效、动作场面、悬疑气氛和高速节奏。和原书一样，剧集描述探险家鲁滨逊（PhilipWinchester）在一次航行中船只失事，流落到一个杳无人烟的荒岛长达28年时间，完全与世隔绝。他对家人的思念及与当地土著居民"星期五"（Tongayi Chirisa）的生死之交是唯一让他保存毅力的原因。鲁滨逊和 "星期五"将共同面对无处不在的危险，在大自然的挑战中艰难求生。除了自己的双手和智慧，鲁滨逊已经一无所有－－但他心中有一束不灭的火焰，他相信总有一天自己能离开荒岛，与深爱的家人团聚。
　　除了要再现书中的私掠者、食人族、野兽、饥饿、大雷雨这些经典元素，剧中还将增加新的人物及情节。此外，被完全重新包装过的 "鲁滨逊"，和我们熟知的这个角色并不相同。你甚至可以把他看作《百战天龙》（MacGyver）中的马盖先，以科学知识为工具，就地取材或利用手边的小东西制造各种设备，化危机为转机，在17世纪的荒岛上过起了现代人向往的 "归隐"生活。例如，为了躲避野兽或者野蛮人，他在高高的树顶上建起了一栋漂亮的木头房子（不禁让人想起电视剧《迷失的世界》中Veronica的 TreeHouse）。和大多数好莱坞作品相同，鲁滨逊与星期五的看似牢固的友谊也屡屡经受考验－－在第一集中，当他们有机会逃离这个 "天堂之岛"时，却遭遇了一群意想不到的敌人。对方让他们在自由和忠诚之间作出选择，他们都迟疑了……
　　当鲁滨逊在荒岛上为生存而挣扎时，世界的另一端，他美丽温柔的娇妻Susannah（AnnaWalton）正在英国的家中苦苦盼他归来，但是她又能守望多久？更重要的是，这段美丽的婚姻真如表面上那样美丽吗？而鲁滨逊的老师兼赞助人、神秘的Jeremiah Blackthorn先生（Sam Neill）又在其中扮演着什么样的角色呢？

　　Simon Kinberg与David Weil负责的Apple TV+的外星人题材剧将讲述全球多地被外星人入侵时的情况，会有纽约﹑曼彻斯特﹑摩洛哥及日本四国的剧情。
