Thom Tuck has watched every straight-to-DVD Disney movie so we don't have to.
These underrated gems, perhaps rightfully ignored and forgotten, mirror the failures in his own relationships with women he has loved too often and too soon.
He recounts this journey as the joy of Disney is juxtaposed with true tales of heartbreak from childhood and beyond.
It's a show with a huge heart, all about heartbreak in various forms - the perfect prescription for Valentine's Day.
This is a radio adaptation of Thom Tuck's debut solo show, which was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Fosters Comedy Awards in Edinburgh 2011.
Following the success of the pilot, a series is now in development. Tuck will turn his attention to other genres of Straight to DVD movies - seeking out further underrated gems and drawing parallels with captivating personal tales from his own life experience, backed by a house band providing a suitable movie score. Expect themes such as Bodyswap, Bollywood and Steven Seagal.
