London, February 2012 – Rare Day's 'Confessions from the Underground' takes a behind the scenes look into the London Underground – the world's oldest subway system. Commissioned by Channel 4, and posted at Prime Focus, it airs tonight, Thursday 2nd February at 10pm.

This documentary provides a rare glimpse into the depths of the iconic Tube network, which caters for over a billion passengers a year and is run by 19,000 employees. It reveals the dilemmas and pressures that passengers don't see, and shows how workers face a daily battle to keep this hugely complex and strained system running. We are shown how they negotiate the difficulties of storing dead bodies after suicides and the hazards of fixing signal failures within an ageing infrastructure. The precise words of the train drivers, maintenance workers, station staff and controllers are re-enacted in order to maintain their chosen anonymity.

Let the re rating start.!!

[tara7] 01/2/2012 13:15

Fact is it is worth many times todays price.

PE could be heading to 10, if we get a new broker who has half a brain.

The growth rate is also outstanding.

[ashtree2] 01/2/2012 13:13

can sell all my stock but cannot purchase any.Yes and many thanks to the share holder group for their excellent work.

"Following this decision, the company expects shortly to be announcing the appointment of a new Stockbroker and to be implementing changes to the constitution of the board."

Some quite substantial changes. My congratulations to the shareholder action group.

[tradeit4] 01/2/2012 13:03

Now the Company has resloved NOT to delist a significant upside based upon the trading results is inevitable. They should be worth at least 100p given that it looks like earnings of at least 15p a share. This would be a p/e of only 6.5, very low for such a profitable company.

[tara7] 01/2/2012 11:55

Dirt cheap.!!

Hyper Al,

I hope you know that PFO is basically just Prime Focus's UK post-production subsidiary. CLEAR is owned by the Indian parent company PFOCUS.

Thanks Tara,
I am even more convinced that this Company is very Profitable and cash generative.(See my post 224 above)
Once we get the delisting debacle out of the way, this share has to have a significant re-rating. Wish i could get some more but the market seems very tight.

India is poised to make a big impact at the 84th Academy Awards, which will be held on February 26.

Among the list of nominations, 11 (including War Horse) across different categories are from Reliance-DreamWorks, a joint venture between Anil Ambani and Steven Spielberg's respective entertainment companies, while Prime Focus Ltd has contributed to five out of the 10 contenders in the Visual Effects category, namely Tree of Life, X-Men: First Class, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Hugo.
Prime Focus company management said the work ranged from creating complex visual effects (VFX) shots for Tree of Life and X-Men, to being the lead 2D-3D converter for Deathly Hallows: Part 2. It also completed the 3D conversion and delivered stereoscopic VFX shots for Transformers, and supplied on-set equipment to Hugo.

Nishant Fadia, CFO, Prime Focus, said, "This (the nominations) gives us a lot of visibility globally... The profile of movies and the kind of work we did is getting noticed in the market, and we envisage this development will help us garner more international projects."

Reliance Entertainment too is thrilled. Chairman Amit Khanna said, "When we tied up with DreamWorks, Anil Ambani's vision was that this association should put India on the world film map. The 11 nominations mark the beginning of this vision."
Spielberg's latest period drama, War Horse, has been nominated in six categories - Best Film, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Original Score, Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography. Another movie from the Ambani-Spielberg stable to make it to the Best Film nomination list is The Help.

Hugh Jackman-starrer sci-fi movie Real Steel has been nominated for the Best Achievement in Visual Effects category.

In 2008, Reliance Entertainment had pumped in $1.5 billion to set up a Hollywood production studio with DreamWorks. "The good show at 2012 Oscars is proof enough that our partnership with one of the best Hollywood filmmakers has been fruitful," Khanna added.

The new one hour documentary 'Lust for Life' is the latest edition of BBC Four's Storyville Survivors season and airs tonight at 10pm. It is based on the true life story of director Heather Leach's battle with thyroid disease and cancer. It was brought to our screens courtesy of Renegade Pictures and Ginger Army Ltd and posted by Prime Focus.

Heather began filming her ordeal a mere four days after receiving her initial diagnosis. The documentary tracks her journey as she returns from London to her home town of Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Here, as her health declines in the subsequent three years, Heather attempts to come to terms both with her growing dependence on others and the question of mortality. This stirring true story shows how Heather emerged to find a new outlook on life, one that brought her back to her old ways - this time with a renewed lust for life.
