http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04hbyf4Description: A group of people thrown together by chance when they decide to stay at a remote Yorkshire inn, discover that they're so interdependent that a decision taken by any one of them is likely to have a profound effect on the lives of the others.
Have they lived through the experience before? Is there a chance to make different decisions this time?
Stars Lesley Nichol as Sally Pratt, George A Cooper as Sam Shipley, Geoffrey Banks as Dr Gortler and Alan Rothwell as Oliver Farrant. Directed by Alfred Bradley.
Pre-destination and deja vu is the subject here. There has only been room in my life for one of these repeating tales and I don't mean Kate Atkinson's Life after Life or Groundhog Day or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind either; no, the one I liked was by the one I encountered first, namely Strange Life of Ivan Osokin. Quite ironically, it disproves the validity that this story theme can be done over and over again. heh
