Mike Bassett: Manager starred Ricky Tomlinson (Brookside, The Royle Family, Cracker, Playing The Field, Dockers, The Fix) as a football manager who had enjoyed some big time success in the past and rather than retiring decides to give it another go with a struggling lower level club. This is a spin-off of the 2001 movie Mike Bassett England Manager. Amanda Redman plays his wife. (!) Seriously.
Odd Socks starred Lynda Bellingham (All Creatures Great & Small, Second Thoughts, Faith In The Future, At Home With The Braithwaites, Bonkers, and a bunch of other shows that all seem to have been buried), Rosemary Leach (Life Begins At Forty, The Jewel In The Crown, The Charmer, Summer's Lease, Titmuss Regained, Growing Pains, An Unsuitable Job For A Lady, Down To Earth, and was Susan's mother in My Family), and Sarah Churm (At Home With The Braithwaites). It was about some ladies that work at a launderette. It was filmed in 2004 and put on the shelf until recently showing up on UKTV Australia (not be confused with UKTV Florida!) for some reason. These files are kind of small and aren't going to look too cool on your giant TV. Whoever made these files encoded them using a Mobile setting rather than Home Theatre. I just tried these files out on my 46-inch TV and (surprisingly) they didn't look bad at all.
World Of Pub starred Phil Cornwell (I'm Alan Partridge), Peter Serafinowicz (How Do You Want Me?, Hardware, Look Around You, The Peter Serafinowicz Show, Whitechapel, Running Wilde {a US show that aired around the end of last year}), Kevin Eldon (Hyperdrive, Funland, Nighty Night, Big Train, Brass Eye, Jam, Fist Of Fun), Simon Greenall (Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married, I'm Alan Partridge, The Wrong Door, Pete Versus Life) and so on. It's about 3 friends that run a failing pub and their schemes to make it more successful.
To those of you I hear from in New Zealand, and at least one of you is in Christchurch, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound!
