U-Boat Wargamers (2023- )
January 1943: Admiral Karl Dönitz, head of the Nazis' U-boat fleet, has brought Britain to the brink of starvation by ruthlessly destroying close to a thousand of their merchant ships. If the transatlantic shipping route is cut off, the Allies will lose their last foothold in Western Europe.
The Royal Navy turns to retired war gamer Gilbert Roberts. Roberts is to use war gaming to try to decipher and combat Dönitz's tactics. To do this, he needs a team, but the Navy can't spare any men. Instead, he risks the ridicule of high command by turning to the Women's Royal Navy Service (WRNS) to war game the U-boats' tactics.
In partnership with Jean Laidlaw, one of Britain's first female chartered accountants, and a small team of resourceful female mathematicians, Roberts acts out naval battles and games the U-boats' moves on a linoleum floor, using chalk and wooden model ships.

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire
Based on Anne Rice's iconic and bestselling novel, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe, Lestat de Lioncourt and Claudia's epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in New Orleans in the early 1900s, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. But Louis's intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat's newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.
