    It wasn't Twin Peaks, but it should have been.

    Thank you for your reply but I really don’t think this is the film. I remember being a ghost/horror movie/tv series episode.

    I'm thinking this a superhero type genre - a child hides in a closet with his sister while their father is beating their mother and all of a sudden he teleports out of the closet to some frozen place

    Pretty sure it's an origin story but can't quite place where I've seen it

    There was an abusive father in "Jumper", but I don't remember that scene in it.

    "Jumper" is such an unfortunate name for a movie in this part of the world.

    It's the only unfortunate issue I had with Avatar series. They were all "Benders". For someone of my generation that was an unfortunate term :)

    Does anyone know any period films or series that involved abusive husbands? I remember a long time ago now I saw a clip from a period tv series/ film and I remember a woman putting a child to bed that I assume was a son/daughter and the mother went outside the child’s door and I could hear shouting or screaming. I’m sure I heard “No!”

    Can anyone help at all?

    Are you looking for a list or a particular film? If compiling a list of old movies, I guess Gaslight might be good?

    Hi

    I finally found out what this was and I can see why no one knew it

    It's from a short-lived TV show called Powers that only aired on PlayStation (I think) - it was made by Sony.

    Hello

    Just a quick question.

    How do you go about finding a documentary if you dont know the title.

    I suppose i watched a great documentary from 2006, i can remember the subject but never the title.

    Id like to rewatch it again but need to find it first.

    thanks again

    Hello

    Sorry, id didn't want to ask, it was on Tg4 at one stage.

    IT was an made by an Australian woman who wanted to document their relationship over the years.

    Synopsis
    Father moving away from life of crime , daughter makes documentary on their past relationship. Father is looking after Dying Grandmother. (Father used to be conman)

    I think she also was a musician,

    I really didnt want to go into detail as its really obscure and ive only watched it once

    thanks

    trying to remember an old black and white British based detective series (probably 40's era), something similar to the 1940's Sherlock Holmes, it would have been early evening fare back in the day on RTE or BBC2 maybe.

    I wasn't expecting much luck by googling this but..

    I found this wiki page of BBC programmes and searched for "194"
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programmes_broadcast_by_the_BBC

    The candidate that jumps out was Telecrime (BBC 1938 – 1939 & 1946) but it says all the episodes were lost:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecrime
    A whodunit crime drama, Telecrime showed the viewer enough evidence to solve the crime themselves. Most episodes were written by Mileson Horton. All seventeen episodes are lost. Aired live, their preservation was technically difficult at the time.

    Not Charlie Chan , though I see a lot them are up on Youtube, I might have a look at a couple of them.

    I think I found it , one of the plot lines I remember was about a ghost train and gunrunning in Northern Ireland so it seems to be the Will Hay comedies.

    There was a U.S film that came out either this year or last year, its a drama end I also believe it has some dark humour about a cop (with a moustache) whose son dies.

    It got really good reviews but I can't find it on various sites that have lists foe the best films of 2018/19.
