A simple affair proves to be anything but when a London advertising director realizes that his latest lover is also his newest client in director Ian Poitier's gay romantic comedy. Bright and talented Jonathan (Christopher Colquhoun) was at a black tie award party when he first locked eyes with handsome American David (Stephen Billington), and before the night was over they were both heading back to Jonathan's posh London flat for a passionate late night tryst. The next morning, when Jonathan's nine year old daughter bounds into the bedroom, it quickly becomes apparent that this isn't your average one night stand. The stakes are raised even higher when Jonathan returns to the office on Monday morning to discover that David is the company's top new client. Sleeping with clients is a big no-no at the firm where Jonathan works, and over the course of the next few days the hapless advertising director scrambles to reverse any damage that may have been done before he and David were aware of their professional relationship. But by attempting to sever his ties with David, Jonathan inadvertently draws his handsome lover into a playful game of one-upmanship. Now for each attempt they take at outwitting one another, their mutual attraction only grows stronger. Will Jonathan prove capable of keeping his lover and his career, or will he finally be forced to choose between his heart and his head? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Originally telecast over Britain's ITV1 in 2000, the two-part mystery miniseries Thursday the 12th began with the discovery of an unidentified body on the estate of Marius Bannister (Ciaran Hinds), a wealthy dentist and politician. As an investigative TV reporter Julian Glover sifted through the particulars of the case, the viewer was introduced to the dramatis personae: Bannister; his wife, Nina (Maria Doyle Kennedy); their troubled adopted teenaged son, Martin (Jim Sturgess); and Nina's predatory sister, Candice Hopper (Elizabeth McGovern). In Rashomon fashion, a series of flashbacks indicated that any one of these worthies had motive aplenty to be a murderer -- and in fact, one of them was the victim. The key to the mystery was in the hands of Marius' supposedly senile father, Edgar Bannister (Peter Vaughan). In the U.S., Thursday the 12th first aired over the Bravo cable network on June 4, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
