Moving in to 'nurse' his terminally ill wife, Cath (Rebecca Front), Jill is determined to seduce him and bring their marriage to a grinding halt. In the second series, Don and Cath have moved to a seaside retreat to escape from Jill and work on their marriage. Jill, still obsessed with Don, manages to find them, however, and brings disorder into their life once more by claiming that their 12-year-old son is the father of her unborn child.
Acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino helms this comedy drama about a one-time rockstar who sets out on an unlikely odyssey to track down the Nazi camp guard who tormented his father in Auschwitz. Sean Penn stars as Cheyenne, the leather-clad and lipsticked ageing rocker with an uncanny knack for pertinent aphorisms despite his general air of childish petulance, who now spends his days drifting aimlessly through a millionaire's lifestyle in Dublin with his long-suffering, down-to-earth wife, Jane (Frances McDormand), and a cloud of oddball hangers-on. When news comes of his estranged father's death, Cheyenne heads to New York for the funeral, and so begins his somewhat misguided quest for justice and redemption.
Second season of the Australian comedy in which a man's fledgling relationship with a beautiful woman is complicated by the jealousy of her strangely human-seeming pet dog, Wilfred.

While to Sarah Wilfred is a just a pet, Adam sees him as a man dressed in a dog suit - and no mere ordinary man.

Episodes are: 'Kiss Me Kat', 'Dog of a Town: Part 1', 'Dog of a Town: Part 2', 'Honey You're Killing the Dog', 'Ice Dog Cometh', 'The Dog Father', 'Dog Star' and 'Bite Club'.

Gay themed rom-com that follows the lives and loves of a group of metrosexual males.

Based on the second of Roddy Doyle's "Barrytown" trilogy, which includes The Commitments and The Van, The Snapper is a warmly comic and moving look at working class Irish life - full of vibrant and eccentric characters, heartaches and laughs. Sharon Curley is 20, works in a Dublin supermarket, lives at home and is pregnant. If that isn't bad enough, she adamantly refuses to name the father. In turn shocked, concerned, defensive, embarrassed and angry, her own father, Dessie, is determined to support her but as the small town is driven into a frenzy of gossip, his loyalty is soon put to the test. As speculation, suggestion and rumour mount will Sharon manage to keep her secret intact? Will Dessie continue to stand by his daughter and how will the 'snapper' be welcomed into the world?

Professor Lawrence Wetherhold might be imperiously brilliant, but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he's as downright flummoxed as the next guy. His teenage daughter is an acid-tongued overachiever who follows all too closely in dad's misery-loving footsteps, and his adopted, preposterously ne'er-do-well brother has perfected the art of freeloading. A widower who can't seem to find passion in anything anymore, not even the Victorian literature in which he's an expert, Lawrence seems to be sleepwalking through a very stunted middle age. When his brother shows up unexpectedly for an extended stay just as he accidentally encounters a former student, Janet, the circumstances stir him from his deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking consequences for himself and everyone around him.
A box set of 12 Norman Wisdom classics. In 'On the Beat' Wisdom stars as a bumbling Scotland Yard car park attendant who gets his chance to be a real policeman after he accidentally catches some crooks. His advantage lies in the fact that he physically resembles one of the ringleaders. In 'Man of the Moment' the bumbling Norman (Wisdom) accidentally becomes the British delegate to an important international conference in Geneva. Hilarious chaos and amusing misunderstandings ensue. In 'Trouble in Store' Wisdom is taken on as a shop assistant in a department store. His ambition is to become a window dresser, and he falls in love at first sight with his dream-girl, Sally. After a disastrous start (chasing a bus on roller skates, entering a shop girl's hostel, the usual sort of thing), events conspire to make Norman an unlikely hero. In 'Up in the World' Wisdom stars as the bumbling window cleaner to Lady Banderville. He has to cope with the pranks of her son, Sir Reggie, but cleans up when he confounds a gang of kidnappers. In 'The Square Peg' Norman Pitkin (Wisdom) is keen to help the war effort, and turns out to be a dead ringer for an enemy general. Joining up with his colleague, Mr Grimsdale, he is posted to France as part of a team repairing the damaged roads. Captured by the enemy, he turns his uncanny resemblance to his own advantage and comes home a hero. In 'Follow a Star' Wisdom plays a shop worker (imaginatively also named Norman, as indeed is every character he has ever portrayed) who dreams of becoming a famous singer. His attempts are, of course, disastrous, until he is encouraged by music teacher Miss Dobson, and a crippled girl named Judy. In 'The Bulldog Breed' Norman Puckle (Wisdom) is a grocer who joins the Navy and finds himself chosen to man a rocket flight into outer space. After Norman brings his own brand of madcap mayhem to the training process, his superiors begin to suspect that they might have picked the wrong person for the mission. Also starring Ian Hunter and Edward Chapman. Whilst in 'One Good Turn' Norman (Wisdom) works at the orphanage, and promises that he will buy one of its charges a model car. But how can he get the money? Proving himself equally incompetent at all jobs, he manages to raise a few laughs along the way in his attempts to earn the cash and not disappoint the little sprite. In 'A Stitch in Time' Star Wisdom plays an apprentice butcher trying to help a sick child. His bumbling efforts end up with him being banned from visiting little orphan Lindy, but Norman will go to any lengths to keep in touch with his young charge. Whilst in 'Just My Tuck', determined to win the heart of his beautiful neighbour, Norman (Wisdom) decides he wants to buy her a diamond necklace - but how can he possibly afford it? A solution offers itself when he goes to a bookmaker's, learns the intricacies of the accumulator bet, and sets out on a major winning streak. However, whenever Norman is involved things are never quite that simple, and soon enough our hapless hero finds himself in deep trouble, creating havoc at the local racetrack. In 'The Early Bird' Wisdom plays a milkman caught up in a feud between the small, traditional company that employs him and a large, modern dairy planning a hostile takeover. Will Norman, in his typically inept fashion, manage to save his company from the onset of modernity? Finally in 'Press For Time' Norman Shields (Wisdom) is an accident-prone young reporter, who only got the job because his grandfather (also played by Wisdom) happens to be the Prime Minister. Hilarious chaos ensues when Norman is sent to cover a beauty contest. Wisdom also appears in drag as a Suffragette called Emily.
Comedy about how a nice midwestern boy's life gets turned upside down when he meets, and falls for, a wildchild.

Although his head's telling him she's not the one, his heart has other plans, and before long he's fallen hopelessly in love - despite himself.
Award winning Canadian TV comedy series from 1988. 'The Kids In The Hall' was the collective name for a troupe of comedians who performed a sketch show featuring an increasingly bizarre range of characters. Often highlighting the mundanities and absurdities of suburbia, the group would then develop them, stretching out the comic possibilities to the extreme.
More comedy from the chain-smoking American anti hero, determined to shock and anger in this recorded live performance. Includes material which some might find offensive.

Patrick McGuinness found fame with friend and co-star Peter Kay in 'Phoenix Nights' and 'Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere'. He has now turned his hand to stand-up comedy. Join the Bolton man for some very definitely adult orientated comedy.
BBC Scotland sketch comedy series introduces a cast of motley Caledonians. Originally a radio programme, Chewin' The Fat was the springboard from which its creators, Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill, launched Jack and Victor - the central characters of subsequent spinoff, 'Still Game'. Alongside the peripatetic pensioners, the programme also featured such varied favourites as; Betty The Auld Slapper who sat, open legged, retelling her invariably pornographic wartime remembrances, Ballistic Bob, to whom the most perfunctory task provided potential for unfettered rage and Eric The Activist who favoured doing unto animal abusers as they would do unto animals like pouring salt on a man salting snails then taking flight shouting his catchphrase, 'c'mon the slugs.' |
