Starring... Paddy Considine Rio / Riot (dogs) Miranda Pleasance Simon Greenall Music... Richard Hawley My Wrongs 8245-8249 and 117	My Wrongs 8245-8249 and 117 A satire of British news programmes. It parodies the 'hard-hitting' Gulf War-era style of journalism, as well as mocking sports journalism, weather reports, American news programmes, business reports, soap operas, 'vox pops', and many other targets. Adapted from a monologue in his "Blue Jam" radio series, Chris Morris' first short film is a haunting black comedy about a man who no longer uses his name because he's decided he's ceased to deserve one, and a dog called Rothko who says he is the man's lawyer.

Starring... Peter Cook George Weiss Rainbow Tapes	Rainbow Tapes Following Cook's death, some recordings were issued of him chatting with his Hampstead neighbour and fellow Clive Bull regular, the London eccentric Rainbow George Weiss, mostly about George's political plans for Peter within his Vote for Yourself Rainbow Dream Ticket party, which Cook tolerated with amused disdain. According to Cook's biographer Harry Thompson, Weiss tried repeatedly to persuade Cook to stand for parliament, but Cook always refused. In the last few years of his life, Cook had a lower public profile but always maintained a robust social life.

Christmas – a time for carols, mince pies and family arguments. Do we have turkey or goose? Why do we kiss under the mistletoe? Which is better, a real or a plastic tree? How long does it take Father Christmas to deliver all his presents and is there anyone in the UK actually called Ebenezer? Dom, Danny and guests attempt to answer all of these festive conundrums, as well as revealing their favourite Christmas films, exploring different festive traditions from around the world and attempting to track down frankincense in London.

La Jetée Starring... Hélène Chatelain Davos Hanich Jacques Ledoux Ligia Branice Janine Kleina William Klein	La Jetée : 29 minutes The survivors of a destroyed, post-apocalyptic Paris in the aftermath of World War III live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. They research time travel, hoping to send test subjects to different time periods "to call past and future to the rescue of the present". They have difficulty finding subjects who can mentally withstand the shock of time travel, but eventually settle upon a male prisoner whose vague but obsessive childhood memory of witnessing a woman (Hélène Chatelain) during a violent incident on the boarding platform ("The Jetty") at Orly Airport is the key to his journey back in time.
