ONE OF THE BEST UK DRAMAS OF THE DECADE WITH 94% ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE IS AIRING ON TV TONIGHT
One of the best UK dramas of the decade with a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score is airing on TV tonight (Sunday, July 6).
2025 has already proven to be a successful year for UK films, with a number of gems dropping in the first half of the year.
Things got off to a stellar start in February with the return of Renée Zellweger’s Bridget Jones in her fourth film Mad About the Boy.

Despite going straight to streaming in the US, the film managed to gross $139.5 million during one of the slowest parts of the box office’s year.
What makes UK films work wonders is that filmmakers and actors understand that you can’t rely on blockbusters to fill the appetites of movie fans.
The past few months alone have seen the release of The Ballad of Wallis Island, The Penguin Lessons and The Salt Path, each of which is as charming a movies as they come.
Later in the year, fans will be rushing to see Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, a film that is guaranteed to fill up cinema screens across the nation.
With the status of UK cinema continuing to grow by the year, a hidden gem from 2022 is airing on TV this evening.
Titled Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, the film follows a widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London who falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress.
Deciding she must have one on her own, acting legend Lesley Manville’s titular character embarks on an adventure to the French captial.
The heartwarming flick, which will leave you in floods of tears, sees Mrs. Harris change not only her outlook on life but the future of the House of Dior.
Filling out the rest of the cast is Isabelle Huppert, Lambert Wilson, Alba Baptista, Lucas Bravo, Ellen Thomas, Rose Williams and Jason Isaacs.
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of 175 critics' reviews were positive, with the website's consensus saying it’s ‘a good old-fashioned story charmingly told’.
After grossing $31.4 million around the world, the film would eventually win Best Costume Design at the British Independent Film Awards, with Manville nominated for a Golden Globes.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris airs on Sunday, July 6, on Film4 and channel4.com at 9pm
