Advantages: Entertaining plot, great acting Disadvantages: Some may be put off by the fact that it is in black and white
It is coming up to Christmas, but Christmas cheer seems very far away for Bishop Henry Brougham, who is trying desperately to find the money for a new cathedral. With the weight of this responsibility on his shoulders, he fails to notice that his relationship with his wife Julia is changing - taken away from her friends when Henry became Bishop, Julia is lonely and longs for life to return to its former glory when Henry was a loving husband. Divine intervention is needed to save their relationship and one day, when Henry prays for help, it comes in the form of an angel called Dudley. Dudley immediately strikes up a rapport with Julia and her daughter, Debbie, but Henry thinks Dudley has ulterior motives. Can Dudley save the Brougham's marriage? Or is his arrival just another nail in the coffin?

Down the ages there have been various tussles over the ownership of the town, between the King and bishops (who of course answered to the Pope) in the 1200s. The castle was burned down ...
Advantages: Large range of cheap smart clothes Disadvantages: none
Burtons is just the sort of place I always seem to end up in when I go shopping. Its not that I really buy that much stuff there (I'm a bit scruffy most of the time), but just being there is something you have to do.
The shop has a very classy image when compared to others in the high street. They sell some real quality clothes at some very reasonable prices. If I was to be buying anything at all smart, I'd always head straight for Burtons.
I bought a suit there this year, and the staff were very helpful. After just a second of looking through their stock, a woman approached me to see if she could help. I obviously did need a bit of help because I hadn't needed a nice suit before. She took all the necessary measurements and I was actually out of the shop again fairly quickly. I also bought some shirts, ties and a pair ...
