An ex-policewoman turned sex therapist finds danger around every corner after investigating a murder involving auto-erotic asphyxiation in this television mini-series from writer Kay Mellor. There are few things that come as a shock to successful sex therapist Linda (Suranne Jones). When Linda's former lover Angie (Eva Pope) contacts her seeking advice about a rather sordid murder case, however, the woman who has heard it all is suddenly thrust into the dark world of fetishes and sadomasochism. At first Linda isn't quite sure what to make of the case, but when the body of a current client is discovered, she begins to suspect that her own life may be in great danger. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this coming-of-age drama set in England in 1972, Jacqueline Jones (Joanna Ward) is a 13-year-old girl who likes to run track and is teetering, both physically and emotionally, on the verge of adulthood. Jacqueline has a strained relationship with her single mother Vivienne (Amanda Mealing), who doesn't like to discuss Jacqueline's father (or even show her the picture she has of him), and is trying to deal with her new boyfriend Vic (Richard Bremmer). Jacqueline is very curious about sex and eager to lose her virginity, a subject her best friend Maxine (Jodie Smith) seems to know a great deal about. Maxine tries to fix her friend up with the right boy, but Jacqueline soon discovers that her naive enthusiasm about drugs and sex carries greater consequences than she had counted on. The Girl with Brains in Her Feet features a score of period-appropriate hits from such U.K. favorites as Slade and T. Rex. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Like most British TV soap operas, the weekly, half-hour London Bridge enjoyed a loyal and vocal following when it originally aired from 1995 to 1998. This continuing saga of a multicultural group of Londoners was augmented by a special e-mail "magazine," sent out by Carlton Television to apprise fans of what their favorite characters were doing when they weren't appearing before the cameras. Ever so briefly, the series experienced a bit of a controversy when, in 1996, one of its 104 episodes got both Carlton and London Weekend Television in trouble for being "in contravention" of the strict British TV programming code. Unfortunately, the ensuing publicity was not enough to expand the series' viewership past its core audience, nor was a last-ditch effort by Carlton to saturate the market by adding an additional weekly London Bridge episode. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
