I'd been fast tracking my career in the 80s when this series was first aired and had only caught a couple of episodes but, what I'd seen, had been worth watching. When I noticed the DVD box set listed on eBay, at a bargain price, I thought it would be money well spent. And it was! Nigel Havers is excellent in the title role and, although a very practised con-man, somehow managed to gain my sympathy (as I suspect many others who have viewed the series) when the odds were finally stacked against him.
I would recommend 'The Charmer' to anyone who enjoys brilliant acting and edge of your seat drama.

Diana Dors as you have never seen her.
Diana Dors truly deserved the accolades she received for this movie and it is a testament to how good an actress she was. It's a pity she was not offered more dramatic roles. If you've not seen this film then you should, you will not be disappointed. British casting at it's best.

Wuthering Heights 2003 - the darker version
I watched this movie on tv and was mesmerised, the story went so much deeper than the original Laurence Olivier/Merle Oberon version. I just had to buy it and always check Ebay first for the best deal. I wasn't disappointed. If you've not seen this version, and enjoyed the original, I highly recommend it.
