What makes this film stand out from the crowd?
Firstly, you are introduced to the amazing colour…
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a new movie starring Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton out now.
Don’t be put off by ‘pilgrimage’, our hero is not religious at all, although my neighbour at the cinema certainly was. ‘Are you a Pilgrim?’ she asked straight out. She did Canterbury last year and St Jean de Compostelle is next. I hike once a year? If there’s…

This is my 4th street party, that I’ve helped organise. Two were when we lived in Acton, and theirs has now become a yearly occurrence, with a slush fund, DJ and kids activities, plus bake-off, hands-free donut-eating races and karaoke. One American family was gung-ho for a dunk-tank, something they do on such occasions, but we made unenthusiastic noises about drownings and cold weather.

In this blog, I’ll review In the Middle and report about a chat with film director Greg Cruttwell.
A ‘footie film’ may not fill you with enthusiasm, you’re thinking ‘under-dogs pull their fingers out and bag the cup’ type scenario. But this is different, it’s … charming? It’s a documentary, clearly made with love; love for the people interviewed and for the game.
