Producer Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) is behind this decadent comedy about a pair of lowlife but oddly intelligent Welsh brothers who generally make a pain of themselves in their small community, but who get serious about exacting revenge for a family tragedy. Director Kevin Allen succeeds at turning the entire film into a jacked-up freak show, with petty terrorism, cops on the take, a young virgin getting it on with a middle-aged creep and a male choir inexplicably singing Mungo Jerry's ancient hit "In the Summertime". Twin Town is loony, nasty stuff all around, but the only good laughs in the movie are top loaded into the first few minutes. After that, it's sheer tedium. --Tom Keogh

An army of dragons invade the crippled English countryside and the apprentice wizard Merlin must confront the fire-breathing beasts.
The Life of a South Wales mining village is changed forever when a doctor and his wife arrive from the Indian sub-continent. Starring Sanjeev Bhaskar (Goodness Gracious Me The Kumars At No.42) and Ayesha Dharker (Coronation Street Life Isn’t All Ha Ha Hee Hee) the series tells the story of Dr Prem Sharma a high flying Delhi graduate who arrives in the UK in in the 1960’s as part of the “first wave” of Indian Doctors wooed by the then health minister Enoch Powell. Prem and his wife Kamini want to build a new life for themselves following a family tragedy but rather than finding a glamorous job as a consultant in London they find themselves in the sleepy Welsh coal mining village of Trefelin. The local doctor has died and Prem is his replacement. Prem isn’t quite the new Doctor that the locals expected to get and they’re not the only ones to be shocked: Prem’s regal wife isn’t too happy with the situation either. Inspired by real events The Indian Doctor is an award winning BBC One drama that is a warm and humorous fish out of water story also starring Mark Williams (The Fast Show Harry Potter) and Mark Heap (Spaced The Worlds End).
