There's awkwardness abound and a stark-naked Keith Chegwin as Warwick attempts to scrape together enough money for a sequel to Willow, while balancing a touring cabaret show he's running that stars Cheggers, Les Dennis and Shaun Williamson. Oh and Val Kilmer's in there somewhere too. Maybe he'll join the trio for an encore of The Boys Are Back in Town...

Why don't we take heightism seriously?

I was annoyed while watching Derek. Ricky Gervais is playing a character that is clearly mentally handicapped, but I have no problem with that because it was dealt with in an honest and touching way. So why was I annoyed? Well because while watching it all I could think was "why wasn't the issue of height given this treatment in Life's Too Short?"
