The Railway Man

BBC1 10.40PM - 12.30AM (WALES 11.10PM - 1AM) ★★★★

BIOPIC Based on the true story of former World War Two prisoner of war Eric Lomax, this is a moving tale of the harrowing experience of working on the Death Railway in the Far East. In the title role, Colin Firth delivers another of his masterly portrayals of stiff-upper-lipped emotional reserve. Nicole Kidman and Jeremy Irvine also star. Dir: Jonathan Teplitzky 2013, 15
