The locals of Royston Vasey head to the big screen in this movie based on the cult TV series.

As a young man Bedford chances to meet Professor Cavor (Mark Gatiss) a somewhat unworldly scientist with an amazing invention: Cavorite - anything to which it is applied becomes opaque to the force of gravity. Knowing a miracle when he sees one and with a keen eye on profit Bedford encourages Cavor to think big. And so the two men construct a copper and cast-iron sphere which will fly them to the Moon.

David Tennant returns to his role as The Doctor and meets his brand-new companion in the highly anticipated third series of Russell T. Davies's Doctor Who. The new series sees newcomer Freema Agyeman's first appearance as the Doctor's new companion medical student Martha Jones.
The second series of Spaced finds the gang at 23 Meteor Street a little older, but definitely none the wiser. Tim's career is hampered by severe hang-ups over The Phantom Menace. Daisy's career is just plain non-existent. There is still a spark of sexual tension between them, but it's overshadowed by Brian and Twist getting it on. Propelling the seven-episode series arc is the threat of Marsha discovering that none of the relationships are what they seem, Mike's increasing jealousy and a new love interest for Tim. That's the basis for a never-ending stream of in-jokes and references that easily match the quality of the first series. Tim has a Return of the Jedi flashback, then déjà vu in reliving the end of The Empire Strikes Back. There are spoofs of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Robocop, The Sixth Sense and comedy rival The Royle Family. There are guest spots from Bill Bailey, Peter (voice of Darth Maul) Serafinowicz and The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith. Every episode is packed with highlights, but this series' guaranteed geek pant-wetting moments have to be the mock gun battles, slagging off Babylon 5 and learning that "The second rule of Robot Club is: no smoking." Jessica Stevenson won a British Comedy Award for this year. It deserved a whole lot more.--Paul Tonks On the DVD: There's a chaotic but highly enthusiastic commentary from the director and cast, including of course Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, who also talk about some deleted scenes and why they were removed. There's an outtakes blooper reel, as well as a selection of raw location footage and a self-explanatory clip, "Daisy Does Elvis". The most useful feature, though, is the subtitle "Homage-o-Meter" facility, which displays all the movie references throughout the series. --Mark Walker
Worried About the Boy is a 90 minute film featuring talented newcomer Douglas Booth Mathew Horne (Gavin & Stacey) Marc Warren (Hustle) and Mark Gatiss for BBC2's season of celebratory programming on the 1980s. At its heart it is a coming-of-age story about a 19 year old boy moving to London establishing his personal independence and becoming an influential part of a fashion cult. In the past 30 odd years George O'Dowd has made more than a few headlines. This film concentrates in particular the period between 1980 and 1982 just before the success of Culture Club's Do You Really changed his life. Living in a squat on Great Titchfield Street regularly attending the Blitz Club falling in and out of love being photographed for looking fabulous forming a band... these are experiences that any 19 year old dreams of. George O'Dowd became famous all over the world simply by being himself. The film is a compassionate biography of a much loved icon. Boy George's debut appearance on Top of the Pops was the defining televisual moment of 1982; it heralded in a new era of fashion and pop music. The film takes a wry look at Boy George's determination to stand out from the crowd - even a crowd as distinctive as the Blitz kids. His success was unprecedented - changing a whole generation's attitude to music and gender. Worried About The Boy is an affectionate look at a much-loved icon. The title is taken from a 1986 newspaper headline which broke during George's heavily-reported drug problem of the time - even through the bad times the film shows how the public's affection for Boy George has remained.
