Double bill of films set in India. In 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011), John Madden directs an all-star cast of Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton, Ronald Pickup and Tom Wilkinson as a group of mature Brits who travel to India looking for a sunnier climate in which to retire. Despite its glossy publicity campaign, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful turns out to be rather different from the refurbished luxury hotel advertised in the brochures. However, as the previously lonely people grow closer, the hotel soon begins to reveal some unexpected charms of its own. 'Life of Pi' (2012) is an Academy Award-winning fantasy adventure based on Yann Martel's Booker Prize-winning novel. Suraj Sharma stars as Pi Patel, a 16-year-old zookeeper's son from Pondicherry who finds himself stranded on a small boat in the Pacific Ocean in the company of a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Bengal tiger following the shipwreck of the freighter on which he and his family were sailing for Canada. Over the course of several months Pi manages to survive on the meagre supplies of food and water he finds on the boat, and also takes up fishing, while in his half-delirious state he muses on various aspects of animal behaviour, religion and the meaning of life.

All six episodes from the first series of the BBC comedy about parents Pete (Hugh Dennis) and Sue (Claire Skinner) fighting to get the upper hand bringing up their three children. Rather than playing it just for gags, this part-improvised comedy, written by 'Drop the Dead Donkey' creators Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton, reflects the realities of family life, concentrating on those everyday botch-ups that happen when parents are desperately trying to raise their kids to become well-rounded individuals. If only. Episodes comprise: 'The School Run', 'The Special Bowl', 'The City Farm', 'The Quiet Night In', 'The Mystery Illness' and 'The Dinner Party'.

All 19 episodes from series 1-3 of the BBC sitcom following parents Pete (Hugh Dennis) and Sue (Claire Skinner) in their ongoing struggle to get the upper hand as they bring up their three children, Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey), Ben (Daniel Roche) and Karen (Ramona Marquez).

This animated seasonal family comedy is co-produced by Aardman Studios. The film shows the inner workings of the high-tech operation run at the North Pole by Santa (voiced by Jim Broadbent) and his sons, which enables them to get all the world's presents delivered in just one night. But behind this slick and efficient machine are the disparate and dysfunctional members of Santa's family, including his cranky 136-year-old father, Grandsanta (Bill Nighy), his devoted wife, Mrs Santa (Imelda Staunton), and his poles-apart sons, Steve (Hugh Laurie) and Arthur (James McAvoy).
