Nick Moran (LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS) and Mackenzie Crook (THE OFFICE) star in this documentary-style comedy about New Romantic punks Adam & The Ants making an eventful late-night trip to their local 24-hour supermarket. Cruising the aisles like some kind of bizarre family-unit the flamboyantly dressed band-members are thrown into crisis when one of their 2 drummers suddenly goes missing. Directed by Ben Gregor and written by Tim Plester 'ANT MUZAK' is a charmingly off-kilter tale of tinned vegetables consumer culture and the fickle nature of fame. Shot over a single weekend on borrowed Super 16mm equipment 'ANT MUZAK' also features a tantalising cameo appearance from former Adam & The Ants bass-player Gary Tibbs. Blake's Junction 7: Imagine the kind of twilight world in which the characters from a bygone British-made space-opera might find themselves making a much-needed pit stop at a Motorway Service Station at 2:45am on a non-descript Tuesday morning... BLAKE'S JUNCTION 7 is a totally unofficial but affectionate 15-minute comedy inspired by the BBC's cult classic sci-fi series BLAKE'S 7. A sequel-of-sorts to Ben Gregor and Tim Plester's first short film 'ANT MUZAK' (Audience Award winner 2003 Sydney Film Festival) it stars Mark Heap (GREEN WING) Martin Freeman (THE OFFICE) and Johnny Vegas (IDEAL). It also features all-new recordings from original BLAKE'S 7 cast-member Peter Tuddenham as the voice of Orac the super super-computer and promises a one-off opportunity to see Mackenzie Crook (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN) in drag as our heroes' nemesis Supreme Commander Servalan. World Of Wrestling: While most of us sleep the heroes and villains from the Golden Age of British wrestling must grapple against the odds to make it home safely from a night out on the tiles. Set predominantly onboard an iconic red double-decker bus this is a journey into a colourfully skewed world of oversized men ill-fitting leotards Boston-Crabs Half-Nelsons and the unforgiving whims of the British public transport system. The film's all-star cast includes introducing in the red corner; Mackenzie Crook (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN) Kris Marshall (MY FAMILY) Patrick Baladi (THE OFFICE) Kevin Eldon (BIG TRAIN) and Miranda Hart (HYPERDRIVE).

Matters are further complicated when he ends up lying continuously to cover his ignorance and spectacularly fails to impress Alice, the first beautiful girl he meets, while Dave, his British co-worker, takes full advantage of Todd's situation. Todd's increasingly poor decisions soon land him in big trouble, offending the majority of the British population and a great sporting institution along the way.
