Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in 1890s London in this holiday special.

Dir. Douglas Mackinnon · With Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Una Stubbs

An endearing outlier, Brian lives alone in a Welsh valley, inventing oddball contraptions that seldom work. After finding a discarded mannequin head, Brian gets an idea. Three days, a washing machine, and sundry spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and proves a charming, cheeky companion. Before long, however, Charles also develops autonomy. Intrigued by the wider world — or whatever lies beyond the cottage where Brian has hidden him away — Charles craves adventure.

Dir. Jim Archer · With David Earl, Chris Hayward, Louise Brealey

Neighbors in a block wake one morning to find they have been sealed inside their apartments. Can they work together to find out why? Or will they destroy each other in their fight to escape?

Dir. Neil Mcenery-West · With Louise Brealey, Lee Ross, Sheila Reid
