"This retrospective on one of David Attenborough's greatest pieces of TV is packed with brilliant anecdotes. What our reviewer said Victoria Bobin's rollicking film is the story of a giant pop-culture moment, a gang of mates remembering how they sensed conditions were right to create a blockbuster masterpiece if they were willing to flirt with failure and even death to get there."

"My Garden of a Thousand Bees BBC iPlayer My Garden of a Thousand Bees. Photograph: Martin Dohm Summed up in a sentence A gasp-inducing documentary about a man's love for the insects that bumble around his garden and ended up changing his life. What our reviewer said There is something pleasantly bee-like about Dohrn's award-winning film. A leisurely thing, it drifts woozily around the photographer's garden, picking up facts here and there and storing them like pollen in little pouches on the backs of its thighs."
"This period comedy, starring Mandy Patinkin as a Rhode Island robber baron, is a singular work of art. What our reviewer said It has a similar pugnacious whimsy, but with cold steel hidden in the folds of its grubby velvet gown. Jack Seale Read the full review Film If you only watch one, make it Romeria In cinemas now Romeria."
