Franz Woyzeck is a soldier trapped in poverty, bullied by his superiors and tormented by voices. To earn extra money, he signs up for medical experiments run by the military doctor. Soon he’s losing his grip on reality and is pushed to the very edge of sanity.
Raw and unforgettable, Woyzeck is a haunting exploration of love, jealousy and the forces that drive us over the edge.
Woyzeck is considered to be one of the first modern plays, a naturalistic tragedy and a social critique about a soldier driven to madness. Daniel Kramer’s striking adaptation of Georg Büchner’s unfinished masterpiece is brought vividly to life by the acclaimed Stephen Joseph Theatre Young Company.

There is a Glastonbury that exists only in memory before the BBC arrived, before phone masts and wall-to-wall coverage, before tickets sold out in minutes, before it all changed. A Glastonbury where dancing in a field was, quite sincerely, considered a radical act.
That world is gone. But it was filmed.

Shot in Panavision CinemaScope at the 1993 festival — the last of the great old-school Glastonburys — Glastonbury The Movie captured the real thing: not the headline acts on the Pyramid Stage, but the stone circle at sunrise, the rave tents and wandering performers, the parachute games and the Krishna food queues. The Verve at their very first festival appearance. Spiritualized spending their entire fee on a fireworks display. A cast of thousands, completely themselves.

No voiceover. No talking heads. No presenter telling you how to feel. Just Glastonbury, as it was. Unfiltered, unnarrated, and unlike anything else in British music film.

Hailed as “a masterpiece” by Mike Leigh and selected for eight international film festivals, Glastonbury The Movie: The 30th Anniversary Cut has been rebuilt in native 4K from the original Panavision negatives — new scenes added, new Dolby 5.1 mix, every frame restored. The result is extraordinary. Back on the big screen. Thirty years on.

A library of digital assets, a generous offer of physical media for audiences and director Q&A may be available on request.

The true story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon, a million copycat calendars, a record-breaking movie, a West End play and now an awarding-winning musical written by Gary Barlow and Tim Firth.
Packed full of unforgettable songs, every performance continues to prove that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman.

As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century following its 2024 centenary, bestselling author and award-winning broadcaster Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age.

Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact and influence on poets, musicians and writers, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement.

Circle this in your bumper Chrimbo TV Times - The Isolation Creations are back with HAUS OF GAMES: THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL — a gloriously comedy daft show packed with bingo, banter and the distinct possibility that something inappropriate may happen under the mistletoe.

Dress to Impress (or Distress) This year’s theme: Corporate drab meets disco fab – The 1970s Office Christmas Party

The desks have been pushed aside. There’s tinsel on the filing cabinets. Someone’s brought a fondue set. Mr Swithins from Accounts is attempting ABBA. And Miss Vasey from the secretarial pool is in the Stationary cupboard with Big John from the warehouse.

Dave and Sapphire have worked backstage at the Old Forge for years. They’ve never felt the lure of the spotlight, they prefer the dark of the wings. But when they learn that the venue is closing, they are both shocked and angry.

Despite dwindling audience numbers, unfunny stand-ups and a chaotic staff, they love this damp, old, crumbling local theatre.

With money in short supply, they offer to stage their own extraordinary dramatic adventure, full of the characters they have met and scenes they have witnessed. Might it bring back the punters, or be a further reason to turn the Old Forge into luxury flats?

In his audacious new comedy, Godber interrogates hope, ghosts and the power of performance as seen through the eyes of a cynical backstage duo.

Dave and Sapphire might have preferred to work behind the scenes, but now they’ve chosen to stand centre stage and are beginning to think, maybe, this is the life!
