Their Finest (BBC4, Thu 9:00pm - 10:50pm) is a British war drama film directed by Lone Scherfig, released in 2016. The film is set in London during World War II and stars Gemma Arterton as Catrin Cole, a young woman hired by the British Ministry of Information to write the female dialogue (referred to as "slop") for propaganda films. Alongside her co-writer Buckley, played by Sam Claflin, and aging actor Ambrose Hilliard, portrayed by Bill Nighy, Cole works on a feature film about the Dunkirk evacuation to boost morale at home. The movie is both a romantic comedy and a period drama, highlighting the role of women in film production during the war and the power of cinema in times of hardship. "Their Finest" combines humor, tragedy, and romance, offering an insightful look into the filmmaking process and its challenges during the war era.

The soundtrack of "Their Finest" was composed by Rachel Portman (The Cider House Rules, Chocolat, Emma). Her score beautifully captures the spirit of 1940s Britain and the ambience of a nation at war, while also infusing the film with a sense of hope and resilience. Portman's music is characterized by its emotional depth and subtle orchestration, effectively complementing the film's narrative and period setting. The score oscillates between moments of gentle melancholy and uplifting motifs, mirroring the film's blend of drama, romance, and comedy. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the cinematic experience, contributing to the film's portrayal of the era's challenges and the enduring power of storytelling through cinema.
