9pm THE KENNEDYS on BBC2

Part 1 & 2 of this great series charting the rise and fall of this important American political family.

Thurs: CHANGELING on ITV2 at 10pm

Clinton Eastwood directs this intelligent period crime drama starring Angelina Jolie.

This true story from the 1920s shows how a young lookalike was forced onto a mother, when her young son disappeared.

This film's costumes and language is pitch perfect for the time period. The relationship between a working woman and the media and oppressive police force is explores through continuing horrible experiences. In some ways this is a feminist movie, as our heroine is a success who challenges authority, is pushed down and then regains her position through hardship and abuse.
