  Set in the geriatric ward of an NHS hospital, Getting On is centred around three brilliantly observed members of hospital staff - return-to-practice nurse Kim Wilde (Jo Brand), the lowest form of life on the ward after the lino; Sister Den Flixter (Joanna Scanlan), drowning in paperwork and beset by personal problems and the jargon-fuelled, stool-obsessed, ward doctor, Pippa Moore (Vicki Pepperdine). The black comedy flows thick and fast as the staff get on with the daily round of bowel movements and hip problems whilst battling the endless form-filling, self-obsessed consultants, cuts and bickering in the furthest backwaters of the NHS. Special Features: Interviews with Kim Wilde, Sister Den Flixter and Dr Pippa Moore

  If The Office was set in a hospital... Health care for the elderly is the least prestigious area of the medical service. The patients rarely make a fuss - often they're unable to - and for that reason bad practices slip through. But are they that bad? It's a tough world for staff too and getting on means well getting on. Dark funny tough and compassionate this is the story of one ward in one hospital in one overlooked corner of the modern health service. But although status isn't high moral questions come from all corners. It's a long way from ER and a lot closer to most people's experiences. It's the bit of health care that gets swept under the carpet - an overload of grumpy messy old people patched up only to return again a few months later. The staff on this ward joke as they go about their daily tasks leaving humour and dignity to mix as it will. With a retrospective script deliberately allowing for improvisation by the actors Getting On is a comedy of characters doing the best they can in a situation we can all relate to; everyone has an elderly relative parent grandparent and difficult choices are the order of the day. It's the scene that awaits all of us - whether we like to admit it or not.

It's the scene that awaits all of us - whether we like to admit it or not.

  Peter Capaldi, the writer and director of the vaguely amusing and almost engaging Strictly Sinatra, seems to have had two recent strains of British film-making on his mind: the Guy Ritchie school of modern mob capers and the post-modern urban Scottish noir of Shallow Grave and Trainspotting. Indeed Kelly MacDonald, who starred in the latter, appears in Strictly Sinatra as a similar rough-around-the-edges love interest. The film revolves around what happens when hapless Glasgow lounge-singer Tony Cocozza (played by the always capable Ian Hart) crosses paths with the local Mafiosi. Their initial mutual attraction is derived from the ability of the parties to support each other's delusions: Cocozza wishes he was Sinatra, they wish they were Sinatra's dubious cronies. But Cocozza swiftly realises that he has, as the song goes, bitten off more than he can chew, and proceeds, predictably enough, from doubt to epiphany to redemption to happy ending.--Andrew Mueller
