About Professor Branestawm Returns
When Lady Pagwell dies, leaving a legacy to fund local inventing, Professor Branestawm thinks his money troubles are over. But scheming councillor Haggerstone insists an inventing contest be held to decide who gets the cash.
Directed by Sandy Johnson, Professor Branestawm Returns leans on a strong ensemble — Madeline Holliday, Vicki Pepperdine, Simon Day — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 2015.
