TV review: Two Weeks To Live, Sky One
Plenty of suprises, plenty of thrills and spills and Williams is excellent as misfit Kim who goes on a literal as well as an emotional journey.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 2nd September 2020Film review: Military Wives
Lightning fails to strike twice for Peter Cattaneo, Oscar-nominated director of The Full Monty, with another heart-warming comedy drama of community spirit in the face of adversity.
Damon Smith, The National (Scotland), 10th March 2020Military Wives: one of the must-see films of the year
The film year is not quite the same as the calendar year, effectively running from one Oscar ceremony - this year's was in early February - to the next, with most of the hot contenders for awards glory all arriving in a slightly undignified rush in the last three months.

Rebecca Thomas, BBC, 25th February 2020Filming underway on wrestling comedy Walk Like A Panther
Filming is underway on Walk Like A Panther, a new comedy film about a group of 80s wrestlers who come out of retirement. Stephen Graham and Dave Johns star.
British Comedy Guide, 31st May 2017The last of Charlie Brooker's dystopian dramas is the sharpest and lightest on its feet. It's also the most nakedly political. Daniel Rigby plays a depressed comedian, Jamie, who has found success on TV as the voice of Waldo, a foul-mouthed cartoon bear. Waldo's slot taking the mickey out of politicians on a weekly satire show is so popular that his media masters dream up a new stunt: Waldo will stand at a real by-election! (The producer figure, played by Jason Flemyng, who approves this idea is a priceless media twonk of the kind Brooker has been satirising since Nathan Barley.)
But things get complicated in the course of the by-election and the drama evolves into a story of why reviling politicians gets us nowhere. The system may be rotten but, as one character observes, "It built these roads."
