There's a lot you can say about Michael Moore. He's sentimental. He massages the truth to fit the points he's making. His reliance on comedy when making serious points sometimes defeats his objectives (more suited to his excellent TV Nation series). He is a propagandist. But in a world dominated by right-wing media conglomerates, neo-conservative thinktanks and war profiteers thirsty for new conflicts, you can easily forgive his mawkish foibles. Fahrenheit 9/11 is an excellent feature in it's co find out more...

A caustic and often funny romp set 24 BC during the reign of Augustus Caesar, Rome's first emperor, and ends in AD 54 with Nero on the throne. Claudius (Jacobi) is Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus, grandson of Mark Antony, who bears witness to the ruthless ambition, shocking debauchery and murderous intrigue of his remarkable family.

John Travolta stars in this adaptation of Joe Klein's 1990 novel based on President Clinton's somewhat dubious journey to the White House. Bill and Hil are thinly disguised as Jack and Susan Stanton, with Emma Thompson as the wannabe First Lady who's intellectually superior to her husband, but prepared to do whatever it takes to get to the top. Shown through the eyes of a young, black, earnest but naive congressional aide (Adrian Lester), Travolta positively oozes smarm as the dodgy Democrat who find out more...

All twelve episodes from the first series of the classic satirical puppet show.

Apparently based loosely on a true event, Princess Margaret(?) Lord Lambton(?), the Bank Job is a highly enjoyable, pac find out more...
