Screen star Jonathan Pryce deftly portrays Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary sleuth in the made-for-television production Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars. Based on an original story in lieu of a Doyle novel, the feature revolves around a group of characters known as The Baker Street Irregulars, street urchins who appeared in a number of the Holmes novels and occasionally help the famous detective solve crimes. In this feature, the pack must solve a mystery surrounding two of their own who suddenly and inexplicably vanish; meanwhile, Holmes himself is arrested and tried for homicide, and it is up to the youngsters to come to the rescue on both fronts. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Based on the children's book by Philip Pullman, Laurie Lynd's I Was a Rat is a feature-length fable originally made as a three-part BBC miniseries. A reworking of a popular fairy tale, the story opens with a young abandoned pageboy (Calum Worthy) taken in by a childless couple: the aging cobbler Bob (Tom Conti) and domestic worker Joan (Brenda Fricker). Nicknamed Roger, the pageboy claims that he isn't human at all but a rat, which attracts the interest of the Daily Scourge newspaper, a mad scientist, and a carnival owner named Oliver Tapscrew (Don McKellar). The search for Roger's real home is accompanied by the story of Lady Aurelia (Katie Blake) and her prince (James Millard). ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
